I think this is one of the greatest ideas I have seen in awhile…you can make roman shades from mini blinds. I already knew I was going to make roman shades for the living room, but with 8 windows in that one room making them myself was going to be really costly. Then I saw this post from Nest Candy… Keep Reading

"Momma, these don’t look like Lorax fries."
I’m pretty sure you all know that The Lorax is in theatres today and sadly we wont be going. We are so bummed, but the hubby has to work. So instead I thought I would plan a fun Lorax filled meal for the kiddos tonight, but it was much harder then I thought…especially with an empty fridge. The only thing… Keep Reading
Pinafore Summer Dress
I made this cute little pinafore summer dress the other day and now I am wondering why I haven’t made one of these dresses before? They are quicker and easier to make then a peasant dress. This is a great little starter dress or the perfect dress to make when you need a quick gift. I made this one in… Keep Reading
Homemade bagels and english muffins
So the homemade bagels and english muffins were delish! Like, I just might eat the whole batch in one sitting delish. For the bagels I followed this recipe from King Aurthur. This is a pretty quick recipe and only requires the first rise of about an hour and then a final rise of 30 minutes. These were really easy to… Keep Reading

Today is just a normal day. We spent the morning playing with some new-to-us old school toys that one of our bestie neighbors brought over. I tried getting some good shots of the little one and I, but all I got was this shot of some old school erector toys. The kids love these toys, thanks bestie neighbor! Isn’t that… Keep Reading
The Butterfly Coat Pattern from Me Sew Crazy
A few weeks ago Jessica from Me Sew Crazy was sweet enough to give me the gift of one of her patterns, The Butterfly Coat. I was in love the moment I saw this pattern. I love the butterfly wings just as much as I love the little ruffles on the back. This is the first coat I have ever… Keep Reading
embrace the camera {valentines day 2012}
Valentine’s Day snuck up on us this year, I guess that happens sometimes. Normally we would spend the day make special treats for others, but this year we spent the day playing with balloons and decorating with hearts. I did manage to make some special heart shaped treats for the kids though. Our treats were far from being fancy, but… Keep Reading
Happy Valentines Day!
May your day be filled with lots of fun, happiness… and unexpected gestures of love. And may your night be filled with a quiet romantic dinner away with the hubby…instead of my night, which will be spent peeling sticky hearts off from all those unexpected places! But really, I wouldn’t want it any other way! Although take-out from a certain… Keep Reading
