This past weekend was the Walk Now for Autism in Mount Laurel, New Jersey (where I grew up!) and I was thrilled that my family came out to support Ethan and walk with us and helped us raise a bunch of money for research. Thanks guys! The weather was amazing! We are still wondering if […]
Goodness, I am so proud of Ainsley. She has been booking modeling jobs left and right and just recently, she was asked to be the cover model of Kids Crafts 1-2-3. Not only does she have the cover, she has several pictures inside. (Oh, and don’t forget to check out my articles too ). […]
I am over at my friend Suz’s blog today for her amazing When We Were Young series. This is one of the coolest blog series’ out there, as it features your favorite bloggers and pictures of them from when they were young. I have recreated a dress that my own mum made for me and […]
The ladies over at Simple Simon are holding their annual (and hilarious) Ugly Duckling Vintage Patterns series and it just so happens that I have a penchant for such humor. Several months ago, I had stumbled across this gem while shopping online: I immediately posted about them on my Facebook page. I don’t think anyone […]
For my second contribution over at Go To Patterns, I chose the Maxwell Top by Shwin . Go over to the Go To Patterns Blog to see the rest! The first thing Ethan said when he saw the finished top was “Cool!” That pretty much sums it up… if a 6.5 year old boy thinks it is […]
I love, love, love when I have an excuse and a reason to sew for Ethan! Sewing for boys is so rewarding and it seems like I never get a whole lot of time to do it. When I was asked to join in on the Caanan’s Incredible Blazer tour being held over on Pattern […]
Hey guys! I am over at Craftstorming today for the awesome 12 Days of Christmas series that Laura is co-hosting with Suz from Sewpony. I am so happy that they asked me to join in and share some of my favorite photos of Ethan and Ainsley. Make sure you check out the […]
I have noticed for quite some time that I have been falling behind with the personal posts that were the start of this blog. So begins “In the Life…”. These posts will be inconsistent and published as I can, but hopefully these will help me continue to record our family life. I love that family […]
I am over at Ladybug Bend today in honor of Sensory Processing Disorder Awareness Month. As many of you know, Ethan has Autism, but he was also diagnosed with SPD when he was a baby. Taya is the owner of Ladybug Bend patterns and she is donating the proceeds of her weighted vest pattern […]
Yesterday, I posted about the amazing Sew Fab Sale (go HERE to purchase your bundle) and now I get the fun job of sharing several items I created from some of those patterns. Up today is the Ethan Shirt from Scientific Seamstress. An Ethan for my Ethan? Sweet. As with all of the Scientific Seamstress […]
This is a big year for Ainsley. She has returned for her second year of preschool, but this year she is going 3 days a week and staying for lunch! Ainsley is so excited and I am just so happy for her. Look at the difference a year makes! Oh siblings 🙂 Last […]
What??? I have a first grader!! He is going to be in school ALL day and I am still in shock about it. I realized last night as I packed his lunch, that this will be the first of hundreds of lunches I will pack. Sob! Ainsley HAD to get in the photo too These […]
The other day, I was in a busy grocery store with both kids. As we were walking in, Ethan pointed and laughed at a man. I didn’t even get a good look at this man because I was so mortified, but I remember the look on the man’s face. I vividly remember this man appearing […]
Do you guys ever come across a product and think “Oh my goodness… I WISH they had this when my kids were babies!” That happened to me a few weeks ago when I was contacted by Baby Shusher. This awesome product was created by 2 parents, desperately tired and looking for a solution to get their new […]
