Silhouettes for Hayley

I just finished up these silhouettes for Hayley from Welcome to the Mouse House. I love how the colors turned out on this one. You can’t really see it in the photos, but that beige paper has a fun pearly shimmer to it. (Made it hard to photograph though.) I think the mix of textures…

Garden Planning

This past week it’s finally started feeling like Spring. The weather has been lovely and the trees are starting to grow little buds. I CAN NOT WAIT for all of the trees to have leaves again. Spring is my favorite!! I’m so so excited to pick lilacs and mulberries, and attempt to grow our backyard…

Happy April. I wish I had a fun prank to pull, but no luck. Last year I was going to post pics of my pregnant belly (whilst not actually pregnant of course) but the photos looked to believable and it was depressing so I deleted them. Ha! I’ve been craving a good spring cleaning day.…

8bit Zelda Cake – Mini DIY

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…

Zelda Birthday Party

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…

Breakfast Cookies

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…
