I have been crazy busy with about – well, too many things lately (we’ll leave it at that!) and it seems I find myself on my Pinterest when I should be answering emails, meeting deadlines,...
A few weeks ago I mentioned Maria’s recipe for Barbequed Chicken Salad with a Cilantro Honey Lime Dressing (if you haven’t made it yet…don’t walk, run!), and shared on our Fac...
Hello friends, happy Monday! I have a great diy to start your week off right. Years ago I bought a pack of Lavender Dryer Bags at a health food store and I loved them. I tossed them in the dryer with...
I so wanted to have this vest pattern up before Easter, but I ended up testing for my little guy up until the night before. Although, who needs a holiday to get dressed up, right? I so love this styl...
What do you get when you mix food coloring, vinegar, and baking soda – then combine that with two bored kids. An hour and a half to get something done, that’s what. I am at a conference t...
I love simple techniques that make my life easier, and when I saw how Maria cut her watermelon it was one of those “Oh sheesh, where have you been my whole life?” moments. It’s the ...
When you’re a kid, nothing compares to that feeling of the last day of school, do you remember? It’s like you have a lifetime of Summer before you with mornings of sleeping in, late night...
I know what your thinking – just when you thought the internet had overdone the tissue paper flower…Destri has to throw in another one. Would it help if I told you it had sentimental valu...
Strawberries are in season and it’s time to get that ice-cream maker out again because I’ve got a great frozen yogurt recipe for you that is healthy and delicious. We love strawberries at our house s...
I love love notebooks. I use them for just about everything and rarely leave home without at least one. They make perfect gifts too because everyone needs one, even if they don’t know it –...
Every year, I struggle with ideas of what to give my Mom for Mother’s Day. She has everything, needs nothing, and surely has plenty pictures of my family. This has been the case for what seems ...
Hello friends! I hope today finds you with sunny skies and well behaved children, neither of which I have. I went outside and it literally feels like you could squeeze water out of the air. I suppose...
Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a great weekend. I had plans to get all kinds of things finished, but instead found myself outside enjoying the great weather. Good thing too, it’s supposed to...
Outside of a few skirts and shirts I haven’t done much sewing for myself. For some reason I have always thought anything outside of that was more difficult than it would be worth; but lately I ...
I was trying to think of something perfect for a Mother’s Day gift kids can make and in my search I found these Cookie Flowers Aubrey had made years ago. I just love that they combine three thi...
Do you ever eat something that you can’t seem to get it out of your mind because it just tasted so good? Well these bars that my friend Heidi made is that something for me. She made them...
I have spent the entire weekend playing with PicMonkey. There’s all sorts of things you can do with this powerful online photo editor. For instance, I made that graphic up there – I’...
Hey friends, how’s the Spring cleaning coming along? You’re finished? In the middle looking for motivation to keep going? Or just tired of the subject and wished everyone would move on...
So it’s late April and by now we all have our Spring cleaning finished, right? Baseboards scrubbed, all the blinds taken down and sprayed, every wall washed (do people still do that?), and eve...
One of the greatest things about being a play therapist and being a mom is that I can say without a doubt that our home is a playful home. And my hope for my tiny contribution with these somewhat reg...
No grill? No problem – just grab that crock pot, toss in some chicken (frozen or thawed), add your favorite BBQ sauce and turn on low. In a few hours you’re smelling that yummy chicken an...
Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a great weekend. We spent ours in Dallas and we’re making our way home today. I wanted to share some of my favorite spring and summer posts from years past; th...
One of the first things we learned in cosmetology school was how to do a scalp treatment, and for good reason. For all the benefits they provide, I think it’s crazy they aren’t a regular ...
Hello friends! I just had to share my success story here with all of you. Destri has been trying to convince me for years (literally) to pull out my sewing machine and make my three girls some...
String Painting Kids Craft – aka - A Keep The Kids Busy For 56 Minutes Craft. We all need them right? Those pull them out because you know it will give you that hour you need to get something...
I dare say with Easter Sunday last weekend many of us have left over ham – which for me is the best leftover meat because it freezes great and you can use it in every meal of the day. I like t...
Happy Monday friends! I hope everyone had a great Easter weekend. We had a relaxing one filled with sunny days – I even had a chance to get my hands dirty making a planter out of the ever pop...
Okay friends, I’m almost finished with The Fat Quarter Pillowcase Dress Collection, then I promise to lay low on the whole subject! Today I have an option that replaces the sash or tie in the ...
Last night it hit me that I would be cooking Easter dinner, ACK! So I did a quick search of our archives, because I knew Maria had posted a ham marinade that got numerous rave reviews. I even got o...
Hello friends! Today I have a front tie or back tie option that I am excited to add to the Fat Quarter Pillowcase Dress collection. Using a front tie is a great way to make a pillowcase dress look ...
