January was a pretty good month for me. I started working part-time and I think that has done a lot for my daily motivation. Having a set schedule is a wonderful thing. And it seems like when I am super productive at work, it carries over into when I come home. I call it work,…

One of my favorite things about WordPress, is the blog stats page. There is a little section down there that tells you what search terms people have entered to find your page. Sometimes I get some really crazy stuff down there, so I thought it would be fun to share some of them. You know,…

“Mmmm! Mom, this is good soup!” “It’s not soup, it’s chowder.” “Eww, I hate chowder…” Hahaha! Sorry, I can’t think of chowder without laughing at my silly brother. And yes, I know he has LOTS of ammo on me when it comes to “stupid things we’ve said” battles. (I hold my ground, that car did…

I thought I’d take a look back at my “26 before 27″ list from my birthday last January. I can’t believe I’ll be having another birthday so soon! I’ve done quite a few things on the list, not all, but a nice chunk. There are still a few things I definitely want to try and…

(And spaghetti squash too.) Things are probably going to be a little slow around here for the next week or so. We are…

I’ve been meaning to share this project for a few weeks now, and I finally got around to getting these pictures together. We went to a family wedding at the beginning of the month and I wanted to sew something cute for the kids to wear, but that was back when all of our stuff…

1. True Love Ring by Amy Cornwell I will own this ring someday. I even got a ring sizer (from some random diamond resale website) so I could order the right size. Now I just need to save up my allowance! 2. “le honey badger” Notebook by le animale “Expect problems and eat them for…

I got this locket as a gift from my sister, and I absolutely loved it. Seriously, how cute is it?? So imagine how sad I was when Juniper peeled off the clear protective layer and it got wet.. Things weren’t looking very good for my poor locket. I didn’t want to throw it away. I…
