I used to be an avid scrapbooker, but somehow in the midst of chasing four little ones about, I have managed to push those endeavors aside. And the irony of having so little time to scrapbook while my kids are small is that these are the days I really should be documenting most! Enter the…

Managing Your Family Photos
Many of y’all might remember the bittersweet post I wrote at the end of last summer about my first-born’s starting kindergarten, and today already marks his final day of school. I can recall all of the times I used to roll my eyes as a teenager (albeit discreetly) when an adult would lament how quickly…
Paint Sample Mini-Album
Have y’all seen the fun Sherwin Williams ad campaign where they’ve commissioned paper artists to turn their paint samples into fun little creations like the ones below?

Such a sweetie

She is making such strides on every possible level now, flying at warp speed through milestones like rolling over (last Monday), sitting up…
Some mid-week crafty goodness
So with all of the Christmas hustle and bustle, I never got around to sharing this picture of the tunic/dress I made for myself just before Thanksgiving. This is, by far, my proudest sewing accomplishment yet! I used the Olivia Dress pattern by Serendipity Studios for this, and I was very pleased with how easily…
