This artichoke spinach cheesy baked pasta recipe is a weeknight favorite at our house. It's quick to make which makes it perfect for busy nights when dinner has to get on the table quickly. It's also great eaten cold for lunch if you have any leftovers. I like to make a double batch of this recipe and bake it in a 9x13 pan so we can enjoy it for an extra meal. This ... continue reading...
Invited
The invitations for Tate's party are finished and ready to hand out to her little baby friends. We're having a Pinwheels and Posies party in shades of pink and orange. I used spray adhesive to make double-sided paper then cut pinwheel shapes and attached them to thin dowels using quilt pins. The pointy ends of the pins are bent down against the dowel and then hot glued to prevent poked baby ... continue reading...
Knit Birthday Hat
This knit birthday hat post contains affiliate links. I just finished Tate's knit birthday hat that she'll wear at her first birthday party and I couldn't love it more. It's the icing on the cake for her birthday outfit and the perfect topper for my youngest baby! When I saw the Celebrate Hat pattern on Petite Purls there was no question in my mind that I'd make it for Tate's ... continue reading...
For a Pool Party
Kennedy's having a few friends over for an end-of-summer pool party next week. This afternoon we whipped up these fun little flip-flop invitations {the idea came from American Girl magazine}. To make them, simply cut a flip flop shape from cardstock and cut another layer slightly smaller in size. Glue the two layers together then punch holes with a hole punch, feed ribbon through the holes, ... continue reading...
A Label
I seem to be on a sippy cup theme these days. Since Tate is almost at the point where she's ready to go into the church nursery (or maybe it's that I'm finally ready), she needs a label for her cup. I saw a cute idea at a craft fair a number of months ago and whipped one up today. A sweet ribbon label. Using my embroidery machine, I embroidered Tate's name on a wide piece of grosgrain ribbon ... continue reading...
The Birthday Suit
Not that kind of birthday suit. I just finished the little outfit Tate will wear for her first birthday party. A simple applique on her shirt ... ... and a ruffly skirt (inspired by this). A raggy-edged bib will be worn during the cake eating. There's a hat too (it's the pièce de résistance) but it's not finished yet.Can't believe my little munchkin will soon be one. I'm linking ... continue reading...
Easy Grainy Bread Machine Recipe
I recently experimented with a new bread machine recipe and it was too delicious not to share with all of you. This recipe uses Red River cereal {a Canadian hot cereal} but if you can't find that, some type of very grainy hot cereal or oatmeal would also work as a substitute. Easy Grainy Bread Machine Recipe Makes 1 regular sized loaf 1 1/3 cups lukewarm water 2 tablespoons ... continue reading...
Pig Sippy Cup Holder
Inspired by some cute knit water bottle cuffs on etsy, I decided to try knitting a little pig sippy cup holder for Tate. This is a great beginner project and you really can't go wrong. Add fun details as desired to create a sweet custom cup holder for your little one! I started with pink scrap yarn for this little pig. This project doesn't take much yarn at all. On circular needles, I ... continue reading...
A Paper Flower Baby Mobile
I love this floral wreath mobile found in the latest Pottery Barn Kids catalog (but not for sale like many of the fun decorative features in PB Kids) and since Tate is transitioning into her crib and her shared room I had to make it. I used a grapevine wreath ($2 on sale at Hobby Lobby) and used floral craft punches and all my scrapbook paper scraps to make lots of flowers. I layered some of ... continue reading...
A Potted Chair
Years ago, I altered this old barstool to make a neat planter for the area near my front door. I found a tall chair with a straw seat (a garage sale find for about $7), painted the chair red, and cut the straw away from the middle of the seat until I had a hole big enough to snugly fit a pot. This chair has held different plants over the years and now holds a very leggy mum plant that I was ... continue reading...
A Lego Party Playdate
Since, being twins, Luke and Lila have {so far} always had joint birthday parties, they've never been able to have gender-specific themes. I decided it would be fun to let them have their own theme playdates this summer. Lila had her fairy tea a few weeks ago, and Luke had his Lego party playdate today. We mailed out little invitations in advance of the date {simple cards that hopefully ... continue reading...
Little Spoons
Party planning is well under way for Tate's first birthday. I love wooden spoons and found these small spoons (perfect for little mouths) on etsy. I stamped an orange "1" on each and they're ready for the festivities. I've started truncating my posts ... please pop over to my blog to read the rest! ... continue reading...
Pop Rocks Lollipops
These pop rocks lollipops might be one of my favorite ideas ever for the Fourth of July. I first saw them on a website that no longer exists and knew they'd be a big hit with my kids! To make them, you'll need a star shaped lollipop mold, white candy melt, lollipop sticks, and blue or red pop rocks. {The blue pop rocks tend to look green once they're in the chocolate so if ... continue reading...
Cars To Go
I really like all the cute car caddies I've seen on different blogs but when I saw this car shirt, I knew I had to make one for Luke. I changed it up a bit, making the road into a letter 'L' and making a little house to hold the cars (a house that looks a bit crooked in the photos with a slightly puckered roof ... hmmm.). When Luke woke up this morning, his car shirt was the first thing ... continue reading...
