We have been going, doing, seeing, being, swimming, dancing, bike riding crazies this summer! I have a post half started with some of our adventures, but for now let me just say, we’re happy to be home for a while! Bennet better get with the program, we’re a family that likes to road trip, and …

Circle top – Modifying a Ready to Wear Tee
I have a million other things to do (first birthday party tonight!) but have been wanting to blog so badly. After years of blogging I just get this itch when it’s been a while! I made the girls matching tops by modifying RTW shirts (well Bennet’s was a onsie, but I’m not a onsie fan …

Kids Clothes Week – Day 1 & 2
I have some major catching up to do on the blog. And a post has been started with photos of fun things we’ve been doing. But it’s Summer Kids Clothes Week and I decided I had to participate. So here’s what I’ve made so far: My little poser. This is a sweet and easy little …
Bennet with a simple DIY Montessori toy
Bj made this simple Montessori type toy for her out of a scrap piece of wood and a dowel. I found the rings here. Sorry about my squeaking, that happens when I get excited. Bennet is 11 months old.

Teeny Tiny Trainer Tutorial
Tuesday was tiny, Bennet is tinier! Add to that starting EC earlier than we did with Tuesday and there are not many trainers that fit my wee girl. I did find these from Charlie Banana (it doubles as a swim diaper) and got one. SO cute. But since I sew and my friend showed me …
A little kitchen needs good editing.
Oh my little kitchen. 9.5 x 12.5 feet (including the walkway to get to the basement) was just getting so overrun. Really I had just crowded too much in there I think. I didn’t take full before pictures, but you saw the disaster it was the other day. When we went to put in the …
The dressing up has begun
“Mom, she likes it!”
The Arron and Erin
I highly suggest you make one. Ciabatta bread with mayo on both sides (I used soy free Vegenaise, it’s better than mayo, really). Have the deli slice you very thin salami Layer on spinach and roasted peppers Thinly slice an apple and take out the star (the core) If you want it add provolone (I …
Around the house in 15 minutes
Quickly. I finally got to paint without “help” (Tuesday worked near me painting all her canvases pink, but mine escaped her brush). Some of the underpainting Tuesday probably worked on, these canvases have been out for years. Tuesday claimed this one for her room and I’m glad she did. I really like. I think it’s …
