Today I am so happy to be over at my friend Jessica's blog. (Ok, so I've never met Jessica in real life.

Mustache Monday
Remember these? Well, Stacy (my sister-in-law baker extraordinaire) got some new molds and stopped by Friday afternoon with some new stashes for my crew to try out. Obviously they were a hit.

Making Binding/Bias Tape from Scraps—A Tutorial
A few weeks ago we had a chance to guest post over here: The post was an invitation to find ways to use up the scraps that we all stash away because we just know that one day they will come in handy.

$5 Friday—4th of July Board Shorts
I usually do 4th of July outfits for the kids....or in past years it has been a dress for Hannah and then finding something that matched for Aaron. But, with two boys this 4th (yay!) I thought it might be fun to do another matchy-matchy type outfits. (They're only little for a few years....right?) And this year, I kind of wanted to go understated. I don't know why really....I just did. Probably, mostly so they would be outfits that they could all wear again without screaming "I am a 4th of ... View the Post
