After Oliver was born this summer and we found out he was a boy, I sat down one night and sewed him up some of of his very own stretchy Gauze Swaddle Blankets that Dana shared on her blog a few months prior. I still don't understand how I never knew about them before especially having Oliver be my 4th little babe, I guess … Continue Reading...
Somebody finally had their first taste of food this weekend. Yes, it's been long overdue. All the other kids were already at least a month in to trying out food at this point but since Oliver is our last I will fully admit that I am milking his baby days for all they are worth. 7 1/2 months old? Pshh...that's nothing. … Continue Reading...
How about ending my infamous "Heart Art" week with a recipe for your sweet tooth that even includes hearts...made of chocolate. Some may say those are the best kind of hearts out there :-) These cookies are so good! You may have had a version of them with Peanut Butter aka Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies. But I think … Continue Reading...
Yup, Yup. I did it. I made another Advent Calendar...Valentine's Style! I don't know about you but I've seen a few of these floating around the internet over the last couple of years and always thought they were a cute idea. Many of them are done as bunting but we just don't have a whole lot of wall space for that so I … Continue Reading...
Here is Day 2 of my "Heart Art" Valentine's decor ideas that the kids and I made using my super fun heart punch I found at Joann's last year (I knew that it would be a worthwhile purchase!) This one I like to call, "I Choose You" because of the little itty bitty heart that just happens to be a different color. Out of all … Continue Reading...
Less than one month to Valentine's Day and I think I've got a good start on decorating our home in a pretty large dose of red, pink and all things hearts! There is just something cheery about those colors in the cold winter months, don't you agree? I bought a heart punch from Joann's a while back and pulled it out so the … Continue Reading...
Alrighty folks, here is another one of our family's favorite cookie recipes for y'all. A gluten and dairy free gem if you will! When I created this recipe I wasn't sure how it was going to turn out, the only liquid I opted to put in the recipe was two egg whites as I was going for a healthful recipe with simple … Continue Reading...
Today let's talk DIY Cornice Boards today, shall we? These are seriously so easy to make and install...I know! I always assumed these were so hard to make...but they're not, trust me! I have seen lots of them made all crazy weird using plywood or MDF but the way I decided to make these takes the cake (my secret … Continue Reading...
So I thought today would be a good day to share the room that my two little girlies, Penelope and Eloise, share together (cue the 'awww!' I love the fact that my little pair of sisters get to share a room, I totally shared a room with my sisters...well one of them and we have the best memories to laugh over because of it!) … Continue Reading...
How many of you tuned into the season 3 premiere of Downton Abbey last Sunday? You bet your bottom dollar that I did! I just love LOVE love that show so I had to have a leeettle viewing party at my home to celebrate the return of Lady Grantham and the rest of her crew ;-) *And for those of you who have not yet succumb to … Continue Reading...
Hooray! I am so glad y'all loved my New Year's Giveaway post so much, I can't tell you how much fun I had doing it! And can I also tell you how warm and fuzzy you've made me feel with all your sweet comments! I seriously was not fishing for compliments at all, just curious as to what makes you come back to my blog time … Continue Reading...
Yes, that really does say 2012, your eyes do not deceive you ;-) I truly had all intention of sharing these pictures with you last year (okay one month ago?...does that sound better?) but time and life got away from me. We had the pleasure this fall of having my good friend, Jessica, of Studio Pop Hair & Photography … Continue Reading...
