I’d like to introduce you to Funny Rabbit, one of my sponsors this month. If you’ve read my blog before, you know I recently sewed my first purse/bag. Well, Kyatarin has some really cute PDF patterns in her shop that inspire me to try a new one. This Mini Boston Pouch is so cute! It’s […]
Thank you, blog world. The only thing I changed from the original recipe is that I made the brownies with a little less cocoa powder, just to tone down the “chocolatey-ness” (that’s a word, right?) of the dish. I grabbed the last piece to take pictures of, so I apologize that the piece is falling […]
Recently I was contacted by the owners of a new website, Lots of Buttons. They asked if they could feature my Button Clock, and I was thrilled to be asked! They also asked if I would review their website and product. You know, readers, that I don’t do this a lot these days. However, I […]

When I was little, my dad used to have regular interviews with us. He used them to check in with us to see how we were doing, to find out if anything was bothering us, and to give us some things that we needed to work on. I wasn’t usually a fan of these interviews, […]

Because it is never TOO early to start celebrating the mother of all holidays (pun intended), I have teamed up with a bunch of my favorite bloggers to bring you a very special mother’s day giveaway! My friend Ellie, who blogs over at Creative Geekery, is also a graphic designer. In her words: ” A few […]
Welcome to our first Make it Work party! I know I’m not the only one who has lots of leftover craft supplies just laying around, so let’s do what we do best and craft it into something beautiful! Valentine’s day is drawing near and I really wanted to make a wreath, so when I saw my […]
Have a missionary or service-themed girls camp? Here’s a great girls camp tshirt idea for you to make! Our girls camp is coming up next week! Last week I gave you a sneak peek of our camp shirts, so I thought I’d share the details with you today. Since our camp has a missionary theme, I […]
I haven’t done Package Pals for awhile. It is always so much fun to get some fun goodies in the mail, isn’t it? Here is what I made for my partner. First, I stalked checked out her Pinterest boards. She told me that she isn’t too into sewing, and I saw she had pinned a ruffled […]

Cranberry Orange Sweet Rolls from Just Us Four: This sounds like the perfect holiday breakfast! (Or really any day, for that matter) 2. Kristi’s One Room […]
As I’ve been going through my pictures, I realized you can definitely tell things were rough for a few months. I hardly took any pictures in January or February of 2010. The reason– I was totally sleep-deprived and barely functioning! My third baby was by far my toughest. He was grumpy from birth. He wasn’t […]
Give a sweet and simple handmade Christmas gift to anyone on your list this year! Since I moved to Iowa, I’ve been lucky to be very involved with my church.
