I love comfort food. The cold days of winter just make me want to put a pot of soup on the stove, break out the bread machine, and huddle up with the family. You too? This recipe for corn sausage chowder is delicious. And easily thrown together at the end of the day. If your […]
A Favorite Things Party
Kennedy celebrated her birthday last night … she’ll be thirteen this week. I can’t believe we’ll have two teenagers in our house! Kennedy decided to have a Favorite Things party and it ended up being a great evening of things that really represented her. A green and blue balloon canopy covered the food […]
Tomato and Leek Bisque
This morning I’ll be hosting my second annual soup swap, part of the larger National Soup Swap. We had so much fun last year and it was great having a freezer full of soup for lunches. This year we’ve added a few more ladies and I’ve been looking forward to it all week. I […]
Playing With Food
Luke and Lila love kindergarten and they love learning to spell. Spelling with cookies? Even more fun! We broke open a package of Earth’s Best Organic Letter of the Day Cookies and did some hands on spelling. It’s very appropriate that Cookie Monster is on this box of cookies because when the homework was done, […]
A Trophy Shelf. The Sequel.
Okay, it’s not really the sequel. But I can’t believe I’m actually posting about another trophy shelf. Now that Luke’s playing soccer, the trophies are coming in and I decided to go ahead and add a trophy shelf in his room. I lucked out {again!} and found another ledge shelf like Lila’s. $3.99 at Goodwill. […]
Hot Cocoa with Friends
Although it often doesn’t feel much like winter here in Texas, a hot cocoa get together with friends is always a fun way to celebrate winter. The simplest of gatherings are my favorite: a few planned but simply executed details and time with friends are a lovely combination. These hot cocoa party ideas are simple and […]
A Sneak Peek :: Duct Tape Party Accents
Kennedy turns thirteen this month and she’ll celebrate with her friends this coming weekend. She came up with a fun theme and the party preparations are in full swing. The colors Kennedy chose are so cheerful and you can never go wrong with polka dots, can you? Duct tape {in bright colors and patterns} is […]
House Love
The homefront got a little vinyl updating this week. I loved my old welcome sign on the front door but it had started to peel and I was ready for a change. I saw this idea and had to copy. I think it suits the informal air around here. And the nasty number decals finally […]
Tate’s Potty Party
Remember my post about potty training Tate? Well, it worked. She’s officially potty trained! When Luke and Lila got potty trained, we celebrated with a little potty party. Nothing big, just a way of congratulating them and enforcing the achievement. Yesterday, Tate had her potty party. Grandma and Poppa came over and we celebrated with […]
Vinyl Monogrammed Wall Art
We attended a wedding this weekend and I decided to use my Silhouette to make a monogrammed gift for the bride and groom. I copied an idea I’ve seen all over the internet and I was really pleased with the way this vinyl wall art turned out. I used three different fonts and two colors […]
A Beaded Bulb Cover
During my last trip to Canton, I saw beautiful a beaded bulb cover in a shop. I absolutely loved the simplicity of them and decided I’d try to make my own. I think mine needs to be tweaked a bit but I do love the look of it. Simple glass beads and wire. I didn’t photograph […]
The Best of 2011
One more peek back at 2011 and then it’s all about 2012. I decided to join the masses and post my favorite projects of 2011. In January, I overhauled my fabric stash. I got rid of everything I won’t use and color coordinated everything I chose to keep then stacked it on a cheap new […]
A Sundae Bar
We’ll be ringing in the new year a little early with the kiddos {no one is ready to stay up till midnight around here!} and we’ll be doing it with a sundae bar with sprinkle-dipped waffle bowls! I bought ready-made waffle bowls and added a bit of fun by dipping the edges of the waffle bowls […]
Wrapping Up December
December flew by and although I loved all the Christmas fun, I’m ready to take a breath and head into a new year. But first, I’ll share a few of my favorite projects with you. In December, I hosted a Christmas party for Tate and her friends, delivered treats to our neighbors, hung the stockings […]
