This is my sweet “baby” Drew. He’s 5 years old. He is adorably sweet, hilariously funny, a copycat to the extreme, and the biggest flirt I’ve ever met. I love chasing him around the house as he laughs hysterically, holding him when he wants to snuggle, and sitting with him as he sounds out the […]

Last week was so much fun! My sister (and co-author!) Laura finally moved back to the States from their army assignment in South Korea. They had some down time before her husband starts his next assignment, so they came on a big family tour that included a stop here in Phoenix! The five cousins had […]
Hey all- we’re back with our monthly “Sisters’ Challenge”, where Laura and I start with the same material and come up with our own unique projects, without discussing them at all! You can see our previous challenges here. This month we decided to make something that used gold. You can take that so many […]

Quite awhile ago, I found this great idea for a chore chart on Pinterest. It’s “uploaded by user”, so I can’t give any credit for the idea. If you know who it belongs to, please let me know! **UPDATE! I found this chore chart at this link, though I’m not 100 percent sure it is […]

Each season or holiday we will be choosing a source material, and each of us will make our own craft– no consulting with each other! This […]

Can you believe it’s time to be thinking about the holidays already? Even though we haven’t even celebrated Thanksgiving yet, we’re already getting a little nervous about all there is to do to prepare for these special days. Unfortunately, sometimes both our “to do” lists and our “to buy” lists can be overwhelming, which leaves […]
I pretty much can’t stand making dinner. I don’t know why. I don’t mind cooking. I just never feel all that excited about what I’m making. I’m pretty busy once school gets out, with carpool, after-school activities, teaching piano lessons, and helping with homework. Often it hits 5:30 or 6:00 and I have NO CLUE […]
I don’t know about you craftily inclined folk out there, but when the holidays and other major events roll around, I almost feel obligated to do something cute. I think I do a good job at not going overboard and always try to involve the kids. The end of the school year was different this […]
