My family usually plans at least one great, celebratory meal when we get together. Between my Mom, my Sister and me, we come up with a menu and divvy it up. This year for Easter, my Mom found some amazing recipes and we had so much fun putting this meal together. Grandma and the boys … More Tasty Tuesday – Easter Feast
This is a super fun, super easy DIY. My kids love it. (So do I!) We keep jars of colored pasta on hand at home for when crafty inspiration strikes. The boys use it to make necklaces and pictures. The process is so easy. What you need: Dry pasta – any shape or size. Tubes are … More Make It Monday – Colored Pasta
It’s been a bit quiet around these parts. March has been and continues to be a very busy month. I’ll get back into the swing of things soon. In the meantime, I thought I’d talk about the first day of Spring here in Central Oregon. Wednesday, March 20th was the first day of Spring. We … More Happy Spring

I like to keep my hands busy if I’m watching tv or just hanging out with the boys, but if it’s not easy and to hand at the moment, it’s hard to get motivated. What I’ve been doing lately is to prep several embroidery designs so that they are ready to go when the mood … More Make It Monday – Embroidery On the Go
It’s been a bit of a short week for me. My husband and I went away for a few days to Ashland, Oregon as an early anniversary getaway. Next month we’ll have been married 14 years! I’m pretty excited about that. I’ll say something about our time away and those 14 years in another post. Here’s … More Fashion on Friday – February 8, 2013
I love the stories that clothes can tell. The memories that they can evoke. Take this dress. Love it, super comfy, bright, fun. It also has a bit missing where a goat had a nibble when we went to a petting “zoo” at the pumpkin patch with our kids and some friends. And the boots. … More Fashion on Friday – February 1, 2013
