Does it feel like fall where you live? Please tell me someone is experiencing something at least approaching fall! Once school starts, I start getting antsy for the rich tones, spicy scents, and comfort foods of fall! Since it’s still in the 100’s here for at least another two months, I figured I’d get started on a […]
If you’ve been around here for awhile, you might remember when Bonita Bellita was one of my sponsors. I have always loved Stephanie’s simple and beautiful accessories, so I am thrilled that she contacted me with some pretties just for you. With the holidays coming up, these would make great gifts. Or, we know a […]
For those of you who are newer around here, you might not know that I LOVE digital scrapbooking! For all of 2011, I posted one of my scrapbook pages a week, both so I could play “catch-up” with my pictures, and so you could learn a little more about me and my family. I haven’t […]

I know it’s technically still Summer, and I know it’s still 110 degrees here, but I like to […]
This month, my supply from WholePort included goodie bags and stickers that can be used for gifts and parties. It just so happens that I have my piano recital tomorrow (both Valerie and I teach piano lessons!), so these came just in time to make goodie bags for my students. The bags come with a […]
If you ever need a quick hair accessory, this might be the one for you. All you need is a strip of fabric, a little felt, some embellishments (if desired), and an elastic headband. I pressed a 1 1/2 by 12 inch strip of fabric into one-inch pleats, then sewed down the middle. I hot […]

This Christmas, we Santa got my 5 year old daughter a dollhouse. We weren’t planning on getting her a dollhouse. However, there was a great pre-Black Friday deal on a child’s dollhouse online at Amazon. It was normally $150, and I got it for $39 plus free shipping! I couldn’t let that pass by. Of course, […]
“What are we doing today, Mom?” The words fall out of their mouths almost as soon as they wake up, as I am still rubbing the sleep from my eyes and staggering to the kitchen to make breakfast. I have really come to dread hearing those words. Somehow my kids have gotten the idea that […]
I’m getting hooked on washi tape. It’s really kind of adorable, and there are so many fun things you can do with it. I am trying to resist the urge to buy one of every color and pattern I see. Target even has some. Did you know that? I found black polka dot in the […]
