I have this problem...I can't bake any number of potatoes without at least one of them exploding in my oven. This is true. Here are the facts:1. We have baked potatoes with our dinner at least once a week.2. I always cook at least one extra potato because I KNOW that at least one of my little spuds is bound to turn itself inside out all over the interior of my oven.3. I am forever cleaning potato guts out of my oven.4. No, I don't wrap my potatoes in aluminum foil...but I know I ... View the Post
Easy Fabric Bookmark and some thoughts….
I know I alluded to this last week, but things are beyond busy around these parts. I am sure they are in your homes too. The end of school is so close (but not close enough) so it's just been running around like crazy. This week we have 6 evening events in 5 nights---and I haven't peeked at the calendar next week. I can only handle so much.... On top of that there are some big blog things going on behind the scenes (with some major deadlines to boot) so I certainly feel like I am swimming ... View the Post

Here's the story of how I turned Grace's hair green: Saturday was Holi Fest at the Sri Sri Radha Krishna Lotus Temple.It's an annual event and loads of fun so when my ... View the Post
The Art of Homemaking: Because they deserve my best
When liZ and I went to hear Daryl Hoole give a homemaking talk last fall, one of the things she said that night stuck out to me as if it were written in a neon, blinking billboard across my forehead. It was the phrase... "Children deserve your best, not what is leftover."I have been thinking about that thought a lot lately...and have changed it to "my family deserves my best, not what is leftover." I am not sure what it is like at your house, but just about the time the big kids come home from ... View the Post
Sew Red
A few weeks ago we were contacted about receiving and reviewing a copy of the new book Sew Red. Sew Red is the first sewing and quilting book to put a stylish twist on raising awareness about heart disease in women. We actually received the book and looked through its beautiful pictures on the way to the sewing and stitchery expo in Seattle and were so impressed with all the projects from sewing celebrities such as Amy Butler, Tula Pink, Anna Maria Horner, and Vanessa from V and Co. But the ... View the Post
