My kiddos started school yesterday! We’re in the throes of another insanely busy school year … I jokingly told my friends I’ll see them all in June. And I’m only half kidding. I snapped the obligatory first day of school photos but this year my kids held handwritten first day of school signs as a […]
Making a Silhouette with Pixlr
In my post about my DIY heirloom necklace, I told you I’d share a simple tutorial for making a silhouette with Pixlr, a free online photo editing program.I experimented with a number of things when attempting to make my silhouettes {Photoshop Elements, my Silhouette software, and Pixlr} and found Pixlr to be the simplest, the […]
A Doll Dress
Stella, who has been so loved that her eyelashes have fallen off, is Tate’s chosen guest at her upcoming birthday party. Of course, she had to have a dress to match. If you like what you see, would you consider following me? I’ve started truncating my posts … please pop over to my blog to […]
Grilled Tortilla Pizzas
Summer is not the time that I want to do a lot of heavy cooking or heat up the house with the oven so this recipe for grilled tortilla pizzas is one of my favorites. This pizza recipe came from a friend of mine and she agreed to let me share it here after we […]
A Pinterest-Inspired Silhouette Necklace
Are your Pinterest boards full of amazing projects? Mine are. And I try to actually tackle a pile of them. This silhouette necklace, pinned a year ago, was next on the project list. I’ve always loved it! I even bought the little charms months ago and stashed them away, waiting for this necklace. […]
Little Doll Candle Holders
I’m in full party mode around here, preparing for Tate’s dolly party in a few weeks. Last week I shared Tate’s little birthday dress and today I’m sharing the cutest little candleholders. I saw this idea here and loved them but decided I could make my own {super simple and far cheaper} version. I used wooden […]
Grilled S’More Bananas
A couple of weeks ago I told you I’d share this super simple summer recipe with you. We love this grilled treat, especially because it has an element of healthy in it. It’s really yummy with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on it too {after the grilling, of course!}. Place a banana on a […]
Chalkboard Paint Lunchbox Notes
Do you like to leave little notes in your kids’ lunchboxes? I do. I even sneak them into the lunches of my big kids sometimes. This year I decided to try something a bit different and I created these chalkboard paint lunchbox notes. I bought a variety of lunch box containers in different sizes and painted […]
Tate’s Birthday Dress
My little surprise baby is turning three next month. We’re planning a dolly party and I’m busy doing what I love … planning, pondering, and working on birthday projects. The birthday dress is finished. Does it look a lot like last year’s dress? I love this simple pattern. I had already settled on a dolly […]
A Beach Souvenir
We were recently in South Padre Island and I brought home a little sand as a souvenir. My friend, Tara, collects sand from every beach she goes to and I think it’s such a neat keepsake. I used a glass vial from Pick Your Plum, filled it with sand … … and added a little […]
Mandarin Orange Savory Salad
Summertime around our house means lots of salads, both as meals and as side dishes, lots of fruits and vegetables, and lots of refreshing ingredients. When I was given the recipe for this mandarin orange savory salad, I knew my family would love it. And they have … we ate it three times in one […]
How to Make a Rope Swing
Despite the fact that it’s been 108 almost every day this week, I try to encourage my kids to unplug and play outside as much as possible. We have a backyard pool and a really great playhouse but I wanted to give my kids something else to play with in the back yard so I […]
Easy Crab Pasta Salad Recipe
Summer at our house means many bowls of cold crab pasta salad, a favorite and very easy recipe of mine! I love to make a double batch so we can eat it for dinner and then have leftovers for lunch for the next few days. It stores well in an airtight container in the refrigerator […]
A Spy Journal
I shared this project at Cherished Bliss a week or so ago and thought I’d share it again here in case you missed it: a spy journal that would make the perfect homemade gift for a boy. I started with a simple lined notebook and sewed a camouflage cover for it. I kept it super […]
