Since the weather has been so nice lately, Sadie and I have been spending a lot of time at the park for play dates and such.

No good!So, I thought, instead of tossing her sandwich, banana, … [Read more...]

I just HAD to do some sewing last night, so my mom was nice enough to let me come over and commandeer her and her machine last night for some Easter sewing.
