For those of you long time readers, hello! Do you remember when I did this tutorial, way back when? In time, the pattern became lost and undownloadable (it's a word don't worry about it), but I found my hard copy recently! YAY! So I fine tuned the pattern and digitized it and it is now available to download and print for free … [Read more...]

Sadie had her heart set on an outdoor movie night party this year, and lucky for her, August is the perfect month to have one of those in! My in-laws have an amazing outdoor screen that we used, (similar) and it worked out great! We had quite the crowd as many families joined in on the fun! It was BYOS-Bring your own seating-and we put out all … [Read more...]
Secrets and Suitors book review
October 10, 2019 By Leave a Comment
So excited to review another of my talented sister's amazing novels! This one is titled Secrets and Suitors! I absolutely adore this book. The story is compelling, original, and fresh (I read a lot of Regency so this should mean something lol!), and the characters are so realistic. The protagonist, Nora, is quite shy and deals with some social … [Read more...]
kids clothing review
October 1, 2019 By Leave a Comment
As you might guess, with four kids around the house, that equals a lot of clothes! Kids clothes are (obviously hehe) some of my favorite things to make, or pick out! I've leaned away from making kids clothes over the past few years, just a preference...mostly because there are SO many cute options out there! And getting wholesale children's … [Read more...]
simple wood necklace organizer
August 31, 2019 By Leave a Comment
I've seriously meant to make this for so long, bought the hooks and wood even, and then promptly lost the wood. I lose everything, people. I lose my phone at least 2x a day, I lose my sanity on the regular, and I have even hidden birthday presents so well that I had to give them the next year. Cuz I couldn't find them til then. So basically it … [Read more...]

laundry room remodel
May 28, 2019 By 7 Comments
This particular room and remodel has been a looong time coming! Our laundry room was the one room that had not been touched since we moved in 10 years ago-not even to add shelves or anything! There were more pressing projects to be done first, like the backyard and that took a long time too since we did most of it ourselves. I had this laundry room … [Read more...]
pantry makeover
January 30, 2019 By 7 Comments
The KonMari method has been sweeping social media and the world at large, and swept me along with it! I am a regular purger of things-I like to call it "editing" my house-so I'm used to the process, but after watching the Netflix show it gave me a renewed energy to pare down and streamline so we can live our best lives! Or, at least make getting … [Read more...]
