"I cannot endure to waste anything so precious as autumnal sunshine by staying in the house." -Nathanial Hawthorne Yesterday I should have finished up the girls costumes, vacuumed the kids bedrooms, folded the laundry, and photographed the dress for today's post. Instead my husband and I took the kids to a local farm... ...where we stayed until we were all frozen, smelled like goats, and the sun had long gone down. It was a glorious evening and I don't regret my decision. Tonight we will be ... View the Post
Disney’s Jane Costume
This year Halloween is filled with lots of firsts and lasts at our house. Isaac is 4 and so terribly excited for his "first real Halloween class party" and the oldest so graciously informed me that he didn't want a costume this year. My kids are at such different stages of life......but I am bound and determined to enjoy this Halloween with each of those different kids at each of their stages. It's all so different for each of them. The youngest can't wait to march in his own Halloween ... View the Post
The Art of Homemaking: The Last Time

So I did. When we climbed ... View the Post

Halloween Costume Collars (for lots of different costumes!)
This last Spring, we did a project for Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Stores for their Fall Lookbook. For it, they gave us four themes and we brainstormed and sewed four projects up that fit those themes, which we love! (We really do still love sewing for themes ;) For the Halloween Chic theme, we decided on some old-school Halloween Costume Collars that could be made with simple collar pattern....so the lion, the clown and the ballerina costumes were born! And we really do love them....they were ... View the Post
