Holy Mother's Day weekend from Hades!! I have a mom and a mother-in-law that are truly incredible. Totally selfless, thoughtful, and generous. I had this little plan all worked out to give back to them a little over the weekend. Surprise pedicure appointments were made, dinner was planned, and my youngest sister and I got together to prepare a gift for the salon. OHHH I was excited about the treat...
I've been working on some design projects lately which means lots of research for inspiration and ideas...and that always takes me off the beaten path. But that's how you find out about new things, right!?!? So what if you're 500 miles from where you need to be.... *sigh* The good news (I think...) is, you may see a few more design type posts in the future as that is where...
I love this book. I really sweet friend sent it to me after our wedding with a little thank you note. It was such a thoughtful little minding! I think it would be perfect to send to someone after a fun family dinner, a birthday party, a weekend with friends..... There are loads of great resources for making photobooks these days and many are much more elaborate and complicated than...
It was my dad's birthday this past week and I wanted to make something with the Littles for his garden. He and my mom have been working on an awesome vegetable garden that I will write more about later. But since our Littles are a bit too little to do anything that requires too much skill, I went with painting rocks that Grandpa could add to his flower pots, as...
My youngest sister is brilliant. Beautiful, creative, talented.....BRILLIANT! And she can give a good gift card gift! So often we struggle with what to buy someone for their birthday, Christmas, anniversary, you name the occasion and we have all scratched our heads endlessly trying to think of the perfect gift....and panicked when we get to the night before with still nothing. (OK - maybe some of you perfect folks have...
Even when life is crazy, and you're not sure how you will survive, for me I look at my Littles and am so thankful for each of them. That's not to say that they are perfect and that every minute is easy, but it is to say that they make my heart smile! For my birthday last year, Addie (and Dada) gave me a sweet little necklace with Addie's name. ...

It was a crazy busy week again (What weeks aren't for moms?? Do any of you have a new found respect for your mom?? I sure do!) And I can't believe it's just over 4 weeks until the newest babe is here! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE don't make a showing any earlier!!! I love ya and can't wait to meet ya, but you just go ahead and stay nice and cozy...
I have a darling friend from college that I adore and love. We lived in the same dorm, and she was as spunky as can be! Always smiling, friends with the world, a total spitfire! I'll never forget visiting with her in her dorm room the first time and seeing her hooked up to what looked like a small refrigerator, and breathing into a mask... My friend has Cystic Fibrosis....
