I imagine it’s difficult for parents to connect to their children if they don’t have things in common. I wonder and hope that she stays into cooking, gardening,… [read more]

Are you getting pumped for Valentine’s Day?

But if I just do something different each year and… [read more]
My friend Katie, aka Wellness Mama, has a great recipe on her website for healthy marshmellows. I have been wanting to try to make them oh, for like 3 months, ever since my friend Lauren told me about her homemade marshmellows (which are not healthy, so I went searching for a heathier alternative). I had intended to… [read more]

Holy Moly. This is the easiest wreath I have ever made. No sewing at all. Took me 15 minutes from set up to clean up. It’s not the fanciest wreath I have made, but I like it. First, I bought a yard of red burlap fabric from Hobby Lobby. You could buy regular burlap and then… [read more]
I first visited New Orleans on Halloween of 2001 or 2002 (can’t remember, if that doesn’t tell you how much fun I had, I don’t know what does). A good friend from high school who is originally from Louisiana and was attending college at LSU, so I went to visit him and we drove… [read more]

Like I mentioned the other week, I am obsessed with collecting and archiving Penelope’s artwork. I wanted to figure out a way to do something special with her holiday artwork so I can bring them out for display each holiday as a part of my holiday decor. My living room has a couple of big… [read more]
My friend Bethany had a baby about two months ago and she somehow managed to whip up a little Halloween DIY with a newborn. She is one of the craftiest people I know (she actually handmade my homecoming dress my senior year of high school), so I could totally see her nursing a baby and… [read more]
