Happy Labor Day!

  I love a good long weekend.  Especially when we’re ALL off, Steve included.   And to celebrate, we yanked the kids out of bed on Saturday, earlier than they normally rise (6:30, rather than 7:30-8), and headed to a Balloon Festival.      I know, what kind of crazy mother would wake her kids […]

Thinking about Halloween

  Connor and Elli have been keeping busy in the dress-up box lately.  They think up stories about queens and witches, bad guys fighting off dragons, and wicked step-mothers selling golden eggs to townspeople.  I love over hearing what they’re talking about, because it usually cracks me up.  And if they catch me snickering, they […]

Cinnamon Popcorn & Chex Mix. Oh Yum.

Elastic Band Skirt {aka: the fastest skirt you’ll ever make}

As much as I try to convince Elli to wear the shorts/capri’s/pants that are in her drawer……….she only gives in about 15% of the time.  And I better have a really good reason to give her…….because “it’s cold out” isn’t good enough. :)  I’ve decided to give up on it.  And just let her wear […]

Long A-Line Skirt; made with “Ruffles and Ridges” fabric.

I’ve made several different things with that gorgeous pre-ruffled fabric….and I love it all!  Well, I just happened to be snooping around their site the other day and noticed that the Ruffle Fabric Shop just got in some new ruffles.  And it’s dang cool stuff.   It’s called ‘Ruffles and Ridges’ and it really gives […]
