Marathons and Monsters
A little more than 2 years ago I had baby Ruth.Along with my sweet baby came some very unexpected complications.Complications that took me over a year and hours worth of physical therapy to overcome. Prior to my pregnancy with Ruth I had been involved in running quite a few races with my siblings but after the delivery I could barely stand up-right and running again seemed to no longer be an option. But I was lucky...and about a year ago I was able to start running again.(And because I'm a big ... View the Post

The Art of Homemaking: The Measure of a Person
I came across this quote recently and loved it. It's been on my mind for a couple of weeks and I am glad for Miss Ann Lander's wisdom. And I have needed it in the last little while... Like the day that one of my littles came home from school crying because "so and so" was mean to them....I re-iterated Ann's thought. That we may not like the way that everyone treats us, but we can show what kind of person we are by the way we treat them, even if it's hard to do. And I have even talked to my ... View the Post
Helpful Tips for Perfect Pressing
Today I am sharing a post that I shared awhile back over at the Moda Bake Shop. I used to think that "pressing" and "ironing" were the same thing until one fateful night... I was at my pattern drafting class which was taught by a wonderfully eccentric retired wedding dress designer. The instructor was helping me with a dress and sent me over to "press" a seam. I walked over to the ironing board and began my version of "pressing". Within seconds I was being very LOUDLY reprimanded and ... View the Post
