When I heard that The Domestic Doozie was working towards adopting a special needs child from India, I knew I wanted to help in some way. With my little sister having Down Syndrome, special needs kids have a special place in my heart. (Love you Tesha!) Last week I sketched and painted this inspirational print…
“Do you love any people?” “Just one of them.” “Which one?” “MOMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” “Let’s make a beautiful tower! Me and Flynn right here and you can be on the top. Like a trophy!” (She basically wanted me to sit on them haha) “Knock Knock” “Whose there” “Cheeky” “Cheeky who?” “YOU ARE!” “HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!” “That’s a joke?! I…
Yesterday I shared a few photos from Flynn’s Zelda themed birthday party. I thought his cake deserved it’s own post, just because I spent so much time on it! I saw this awesome cake on Pinterest, but the link didn’t go anywhere… So I really have no idea who made this cake originally. It’s so…
Flynn’s birthday party was last Friday night, and it was such a great time! It was a small party with some family and friends, and lots of yummy food of course. Flynn spent almost the entire evening (and the whole rest of the weekend) sword fighting balloons with his new Master Sword! And oh my…
I found this cookie recipe on Pinterest a few weeks ago, and randomly decided to give it a try on Sunday morning with the kids while Dad slept in. This recipe is ridiculously easy, and so healthy that I didn’t mind at all that we all snacked on cookies all day. I added in a…
Remember this shirt that I started making Flynn two months ago? It’s been sitting on my sewing table since January, all cut out and ready to go. I finally finished it this weekend! I think it looks SO cute on him, even though I seriously screwed up the neck line. At first I didn’t sew…
I’m such a slacker. I had been planning on doing a celebratory giveaway when I reached 100 likes on Facebook, but I reached that a few weeks ago and I’m just now getting around to doing this! I’m blaming the crappy weather and the fact that we were all sick for a week. SO! If…
I went to Hobby Lobby last week to buy some embroidery thread for a not-so-top-secret-but-I’m-going-to-pretend-it-is-anyway project. And while I was there, as always, I started looking at the watercolor paints and I finally decided to just buy the set I’ve been wanting for forever. (The 40% off coupon made me do it.) Of course, I…
Ok guys, I seriously did not think this was possible. But I have somehow managed to find yet another new crafty obsession… Cross stitch. Which is just WEIRD, because that is one of those crafts that I had tried in the past and shrugged off as something not for me. That was nice, one less…
SNOW! Lots and lots of snow. That’s what I think of when I think of February. I’m pretty sure it is done snowing, and the roads are finally cleared. But the snow is still making it hard to drive because there are 7 foot tall snow banks everywhere so you can never see if someone…
