  After Rocket made a hole in the leg of this favourite stuffy Rainbow decided to sit down and stitch her friend up, instead of getting angry with her little sister.

You guys look so cute sitting there together, just stay put for a sec and let me snap a quick picture.... Or... maybe instead you could wiggle, pull-faces, pick your nose and stick out your tongue. Thanks girls, that's perfect. … [Read more...]

Gateway to Imagination

August 15, 2012 by Deanna Tousignant Leave a Comment

It's just the gate to my weed strewn and not very exciting backyard... but when I see it here I think this could be the gateway to anywhere. And in my daughters' eyes I'm sure it is. Let's see where our imagination leads us! … [Read more...]
