yellow and coral knit top
September 24, 2012 By 12 Comments
I just cannot stop myself. I am in deep with coral and yellow (add some mint or teal and it's all over). I thrifted a big yellow and white striped shirt to refashion for one of the girls, and Sadie needs shirts more than Charlotte right now, so she got it. (you should see C's drawers, they barely close!) She's been growing into all of Sadie's old … [Read more...]

September 21, 2012 By 25 Comments
Yes, I've hopped on the Bento lunch bandwagon...this way of packing lunches has a big appeal to me! Even though Sadie doesn't start kindergarten til next year, we still pack a lunch to go to parks and play dates at least twice a week. (the girls are requesting them on the weekends too....lol!) A few reasons are: 1. Less plastic waste-it's all … [Read more...]

September 10, 2012 By 21 Comments
You've probably seen those cute gauze swaddling blankets, right? They're all the rage nowadays. We didn't have that kind of tomfoolery when I had my last baby, so of course I had to get in on the hottest new baby item! I thought I'd try making some of my own, because that's what we bloggers do, am I right? I got my fabric on fabric.com and ordered … [Read more...]
car seat canopy
September 7, 2012 By 13 Comments
It's always fun making useful but cute things for babies, right? I've always had summer babies until now so I never thought a car seat canopy would get much use before (I bet it would have, though, at least to keep it dark when baby was sleeping)...but this time I figured November can be chilly, even here in Cali, and it might help keep strangers … [Read more...]
