Even though time hasn’t been on my team lately, I decided to hurry and make a little something for the kiddos for Easter Sunday. One of my most favorite memories as a child is going to the fabric store with my mom every spring, picking out a pattern, deciding on fabric and notions, and […]

(Shouldn’t there be a law that excludes you from Jury Duty on your birthday/anniversaries/favorite days of the week/etc. ;) Haha! ) I keep hearing of friends and family calling the night before reporting for duty, and not needing to […]
