Do you remember the blanket/sleeping mat that I sewed for Jordan? I didn’t really measure it. I just eyeballed the fabric, made a loose plan in my head and started sewing. I only had to rip the seams one time… ha ha. I was quite proud of it. sent it to school with him.. and [...]
So Jordan started his new preschool this week. Well, sorta started. They really take into consideration that some kids have never been to preschool or day care, or even out of sight of mom…. (or other primary caregiver). Monday was the parent’s orientation. We learned the rules of the school, proper protocols and all that [...]

Sometimes you just have to go with what makes you happy. I saw these pictures linked on Elle’s blog and was so smitten with happiness, I had to create my own version. Here are the original shots of inspiration by whenbessattacks:

I finally had a chance to get back into my paper supplies, it’s been far too long! We had a challenge at Concroption for the DT members to scrap a 2 page 12×12 layout about our dreams/goals for this year. I scrapped my phrase for the year, do it now.

I love reusable grocery bags. Plastic grocery bags have always left me with a bad feeling. Maybe it’s that I worked at a Grocery store when I was in college and I know that paper bags pack items so much neater and are more likely to be reused than plastic (in my household)…Maybe it’s because [...]
