I can’t believe I forgot to post Halloween Pictures! Too much going on, I suppose! Anyway, the kids had a grand old time with Halloween this year, which was wonderful because this is the first year Ethan didn’t cry over it. Once he realized that he got CANDY, he was stoked. Here are my little […]
Let’s begin our Vegetarian roller coaster with a lovely Spaghetti Squash recipe! Now, I am generally not a huge squash fan. Admit it…. even the name doesn’t sound all that appealing, right? SQUASH? Sorry, but that doesn’t sound fun. Nor does it sound like something I want to cook and eat. However, my lovely husband […]
I was never a very healthy child and doctors just couldn’t figure out what was “wrong”. As a baby and toddler, I was often ill and labeled “Failure To Thrive”, even though my mum was doing everything she could. When I was 7 years old, I went in for my first surgery. I had […]
I don’t know about you guys, but Panera Bread makes some of the best tasting soups around and I always crave them, especially the Broccoli Cheese Soup and the Potato Soup! I have FINALLY found a way to make the potato soup at home and it tastes (almost) the same! I had searched on Food.com and […]
Turn your old coffee table into a fabric-covered, upholstered ottoman or cocktail table! I had been eyeing up a particularly expensive ottoman at Pottery Barn, but I KNEW that it was something I could do at home, without spending a fortune, so I jumped into it and decided to also create a tutorial for everyone […]
Several months ago, we determined that an upstairs craft/sewing room wasn’t working, mainly because I was unable to use it once the kids went to bed (or napped!) because of the noise. (original room found here ) After much thought and discussion, we realized the best location for my studio would be a portion of the […]
Well, there isn’t much I can say after this week’s debacle, so I will simply share a few fall photos! I absolutely love this time of year when the temperatures finally start cooling down and everything looks so beautiful and colorful. Plus, this time of year gives me an excuse to make my awesome pumpkin bread. […]
So, today was one of those days where you can’t do anything but laugh and shake your head. In the two short years that Ainsley has graced the world with her mischievous presence, she has managed to get herself into quite a few noteworthy situations. Today, for instance, was no exception. Today involved a call […]
Garrett (Mr. Mouse House) told me I should call it Flashback Friday instead of Photo Friday. What do you all think? Sound better? I feel like I should call it that because he came up with it and deserves some recognition. 🙂 Either way, Photo/Flashback Friday will commence. I have to start with the Bumbo […]
I have decided to designate certain days for certain topics/ideas, mostly to get myself organized. Fridays seem like a great day for me to share simple photos from the week, kind of like a general recap! What do you think? Photo Fridays will commence! Jacket I made this week. Available in my etsy shop! The […]
It feels like so long ago that we decided to revert our dining room from playroom back into a dining room! Here are some of those long forgotten posts here and here. Oh, and don’t worry, the kids are fine and didn’t even bat an eyelash at the removal of their toys. They now have […]
Of of my most frequently asked questions in blog land (and in real life!) is “How Do I Paint Furniture So That It Doesn’t Look Like Crap?” Literally. People have asked me that exact question, many many many times. Figured it was time for a lesson of sorts. One of the most popular items I […]
One of the hardest parts of Motherhood is having to take care of your children even when you are so sick that you can barely get out of bed. Even worse is when one of your children (or both!) are sick as well. Sigh. That sums up my week in 100 words or less. Today […]
I really don’t even know where to begin… I have been so busy with various things and I am feeling a little reflective at the moment. It is these types of moments that remind us of who we are and where we want to be, who we want to associate with, and where we want […]
