Craft Hope is probably my favorite thing. It’s so nice to be able to do something meaningful with my creative talents. Right now they have two projects going on. They are collecting bracelets for orphans in Russia and blankets for tornado survivors. We have been having a little too much fun around here making bracelets…
1. I have recently become quite obsessed with Pinterest. Holy creative inspiration, Batman! I’ve found so many great recipes and tutorials and home decorating ideas. I love it. (image source) 2. Someday, when we finally plant that money tree in the back yard, I WILL OWN these old school Ninja Turtle cereal bowls. They’ll have…
I hope your day is filled with sunshine and watermelon! We had a lovely picnic lunch at the park today and now we are home relaxing while the kiddos nap. I’m hoping to get some creative projects finished up today, and I’m planning some big changes around here. I’ll go into more detail about that…
I have been baking up a storm this month! First, I made this mini-cake for Mother’s Day. Then this week I baked an awesome rainbow cake for a fundraiser cake auction and a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse birthday cake for a friend. The rainbow cake was fun! Here it is at the cake auction with the…
Two months already, huh? I might as well start planning his 18th birthday… He had his 2 month appointment today and he weighs 13lbs 11oz. He’s a big guy! But he still seems so small to me. (Probably because Juniper is so much bigger than him.) I’m very much enjoying the tiny baby stage. I…
Here is my mini cake for May. I decided to do a Mother’s Day cake for when my mother-in-law came to visit. Overall, I like the cake, but I don’t LOVE the cake. It turned out alright. A little boring. This cake was my inspiration, and I should have stuck with the green. The blue…
The past week has gone by in a blur! We had a lot of fun with family in town last weekend and it’s taken me 4 days to get back into a normal routine! I DID have the house cleaned all up on Tuesday, but I decided to do some sewing and well… Let’s just…
I only wanted two things for Mother’s Day this year. 1) A cute photo with both kids in the same picture. Amazingly we got Juniper to sit still long enough to take one! (Yet again wearing their matching outfits. I promise my kids own other clothes!) 2) A love letter from Shaun. Which of course,…
One of my Birthday Goals this year was to learn how to sew hats, and now I can cross that one off! And it only took one failed attempt! I even remembered to draft a pattern as I went so I can make more. (I’m not usually that organized when I’m being creative.) A little…
1. Happy Teacher Appreciation Day! I love being married to a math teacher. Somehow that makes me feel smarter. So I made him this lovely surprise today, to thank him for my false sense of intelligence ? 2. A sneak peak at a project I’m working on. Yes, this is a terrible picture. But it’s…
