WE are retiring...

Yup, it is true. WE are retiring. As bloggers. At least for now...We are going to let momma go off and do her thing with her biz. You can catch up with us here. It may be written from momma's perspective but you will still get a peak into our lives and you might even find yourself staying a bit to read up on momma and Jen as they embark on diy projects, tutorials, guest posts, etc. They would LOVE it if you would follow them. And leave a comment now and again.

Thanks for following and reading Magpie + Piggy Press. It's been real.

December 10th...

On the 10th day of Christmas mommy and Maggs made glitter trees! Maggie loved the glitter and sprinkled the excess outside like glitter snow...

The Days Of Gratitude...

Well, we didn't quite make it through to the end of the month did we? Goodness gracious this blogging thing is becoming more and more difficult. Mommy wants to keep it up but it's so hard because she has TWO other blogs. Obviously our daily lives aren't as interesting to her anymore {no, not really...she's just BUSY!} So, if you want to catch up on us a bit or see what mommy is up to you can visit her other blogs: www.oh-fiddlesticks.com and www.bffdaily.blogspot.com.

We are going to attempt another blog post a day about what we are up to in the month of December but don't hold us to it!

December First...

On the first day of Christmas we got out all our holiday books and read 2 of our faves snuggled up in mommy's bed. Every night we will do the same until Christmas...

Today mommy is grateful that we survived Halloween. I had a bit of a meltdown after the neighborhood party. I got a horrible tummy ache and m through a fit because she didn't want to sit in the stroller. We were quite a handful. But we survived...
