I’ve been super reserved about announcing anything prematurely. There are so many wheels in motion and so many things have to line up perfectly for this to work – but I don’t care anymore! I want to shout it from the rooftops!!! WE ARE MOVING INTO A HOUSE! My rockstar of a husband bought us…
When Stevie was a baby, I used the IKEA RIBBA shelf in his room as a bookshelf. It was awfully cute. But one big problem? The books kept falling off! The lip of the shelf was just too low and all those big board books were constantly tipping over. So I eventually took them down and…
OK just one more craft for the week. I am DIY-ed out. It had to be easy and it had to be inexpensive. With my logic, ornaments are small – therefore faster to finish – so I figured I’d go in that direction. This one took longer than the ribbon ornament because you have to cut out so many squares,…
Oh, this tinsel tree. I made so many mistakes that it took forever and I had to redo it 3 times. It’s not difficult by any means, but I didn’t have a tutorial to follow, so I was winging it. And we all know how that goes. My uncraftiness really had a chance to shine…
These pom-poms are kind of my favorite. I loved having fluffy little pets all around the house. And I enjoyed throwing them at Stevie’s head continually while he wasn’t looking. Perfect rainy day activity. Plus, they look so cute on the mantle! Baby Jesus and pom-poms go together right? Here’s where I found the easiest…
This week, I’ll show you a few of the craft projects I attempted for Christmas. My whole entire life, I have always tried to be a crafty person. But I’ve realized over the years, and all of the failed attempts, that I’m just not. And that’s ok. These ones are actually so easy, they made…
Oh Gadoo. You poor old sap. You really had the life didn’t you? You had a blonde, funny BFF who loved you and snuggled you and fed you and generally enjoyed your company. As her belly grew larger and larger, you had no idea what was in store. You thought that protruding pillow was for…
This weekend was one that I am not mentally prepared for to be over. Sure, nobody ever really wants Monday to roll around, but when you’re busy, the days all sort of blend together and what difference does it make if it’s Monday anyway? That’s been life for several months. But this weekend! Oh this…
Almost 8 years ago (!) – back in March of 2006, before Paul and I got married, we really wanted a cat. OK, I really wanted a cat. Paul was kind enough to play along. We were on the lookout for an orange tabby, because obviously they are the cutest. But because they’re the cutest,…
So I guess Thankful Trees are a thing now. I had passed one up on Pinterest and thought it was a cute idea. Maybe a blog reader or two haven’t seen these yet. When I first decided to make one, I thought “Where can I buy sticks?” (And that just shows you how my brain…
