Christmas Caroling 2023

Hello friends! It’s time for a post that is one of my recent favorite Christmas traditions…Christmas caroling! {disclaimer that I own none of these songs} This year, the Caramel family has decided to share music with their loved ones. “Are we all ready to go caroling?” Starburst asks, “Have we picked out what songs we’re going to sing?” “Yes,” Oswald says, entirely decked out for the holidays in a Santa costume. The family arrives at their first stop – the Lightyear-Caramel household! Since this is Bella and Andy’s first year of marriage, the song chosen for them is a romantic … Continue reading Christmas Caroling 2023

Build a Bears Furever’s 6th Annual Halloween Fashion Show

Hello friends! Happy Halloween! (almost. it’s close enough though!) Every year, I always love doing the Halloween Fashion show. Typically, I try to improve every year, but this year, honestly I just wanted to have fun with this. I have vivid memories of putting on some music and taking photos for this post in 2019 and I just remember how much fun I had with that. So, instead of spending a ton of time and effort into making new costumes, I just decided to make do with what I had and have fun. I didn’t actually think that I’d have … Continue reading Build a Bears Furever’s 6th Annual Halloween Fashion Show

Magical Memories ep. 1

Hello friends! Now, if you’re new here, I’ve probably been mentioning this series for longer than you’ve been around. Seriously, I keep talking about it, but I just haven’t gotten around to sharing it! I don’t really know why, but I’m changing that today. The gist of this series is I share memories about getting each of the Build-a-Bears. Now, at this point it’s been over a decade since I’ve gotten a lot of them, so I don’t remember much. But I’ll try to share what I remember about each bear. I’ll probably share 5-10 memories per post, though it … Continue reading Magical Memories ep. 1

Bella and Andy’s Wedding

Hello friends! Firstly, this post was supposed to be up on Tuesday, but it wasn’t. Anyway, I’d like to thank you all for being so understanding! I was feeling kind of bad for missing the post when I made my apology post, but then Corrie pointed out that in general, it takes a while before couples get their wedding photos back, and that made me feel a bit better. So, that’s what we’re going to say happened! The wedding still took place on Valentine’s Day, but it took a few days for Bella and Andy to get their photos back. … Continue reading Bella and Andy’s Wedding

So I chose good, and here we are, just a bit late. I’ll try to do better tomorrow! Today, Bella and Andy are having a rehearsal dinner for their wedding! This is mostly just a post where Bella and Andy’s friends … Continue reading Bella & Andy’s Rehearsal Dinner ~ Wedding Week

Skipping Stones Episode 8 “Girls Night and Candy’s Delight”

Hello friends! I hope you’re all having a lovely Friday. I’ve spent the majority of the day preparing this post for you all, so I hope you enjoy! I will be introducing a new bear, so keep an eye out for her! Periwinkle puts on a nice dress. She’s going out tonight, for the first time in a long time. Being a mom of seven, she doesn’t normally get very much time to herself. Tonight, however, tonight is girls’ night. Her sisters and friends are going to drop their kids off at her house. These women have been looking forward … Continue reading Skipping Stones Episode 8 “Girls Night and Candy’s Delight”

The Disney Staycation ~ BAB Appreciation Days feat. Oswald

Hello friends! I feel like it’s been forever since our last BABAD post, but I guess it was only in January. Anyway, I decided it was long past time for another, so here you go! (fun fact, apparently that’s how I’ve introduced the last 4 BABADs.) I’m really happy with today’s segment. It’s one I’ve been wanting to do for a while. I think it turned out alright. Enjoy! “Are you okay back there kids?” “Why wouldn’t we be okay?” Oswald asked. “I still don’t know why you won’t tell me where you’re going.” “You’ll see,” The Caramel family walked … Continue reading The Disney Staycation ~ BAB Appreciation Days feat. Oswald

Swirl’s Secret Santa

Hello friends! Today it’s time for the Small-fry’s Christmas gift exchange! This story is essentially two parts, selecting the gift and then the exchange. It follows Swirl, so enjoy! I stared at the slip of paper in my hand. “Cam Johnson,” was written on it in green ink. “What on Earth should I get for Cam?”  You see, the name on the paper was the person I had to buy a gift for. This year, we decided to do a Secret Santa gift exchange instead of getting a gift for every one of our friends.  I laughed at that idea. … Continue reading Swirl’s Secret Santa

Build a Bears Furever’s 4th Annual Halloween Fashion Show!

Hello friends! Can you believe it’s our fourth Halloween fashion show? I can’t! The bears had a lot of fun dressing up this year! They can’t wait to model their costumes for you all. First up, we have our first BAB, Brownie! She’s wearing the first-ever Halloween costume for the BABs! She’s dressed as a talk show host. I don’t really know why I came up with this, but I suppose it was genius to my 10 year old brain. Another costume from the inaugural Halloween Fashion show is this Miss America costume! It obviously used a different dress(was Rose … Continue reading Build a Bears Furever’s 4th Annual Halloween Fashion Show!
