A few weeks ago I got an email asking me if I could make-over my kitchen what would I do. Well...when baby Ruth was only 3 months old my husband surprised me one day by bringing home a truck load of wood.Wood flooring to be exact. (Enough to cover the entryway, family room, hallways, dining area and kitchen.)And I was excited.

Spring Look Book: The Faux Bib Shirt. A Tutorial.
This is one of my favorite outfits from Gracie's spring look book. The shorts are some hand-me-down pants that we were given but that weren't long enough.

Spring Look Book: The T-shirt Dress Anyone Can Make (With the How To)
This is the best thing I've made Grace in awhile. Best as in she likes it the most. I think that is because I left the skirt long...like she wanted...so she doesn't have to wear leggings (or any sort of bloomers) underneath.

Spring Look Book: Inspiration 2013—Black and White

Right now...I am crazy for all things black and white.It's clean and crisp and modern and graphic and I just love it.Although after I just said it's "modern" I have to admit that I've probably been influenced by what I've been watching lately...and it's anything but modern:"The Dick Van Dyke Show".It's my favorite show.(Nerdy but true.)And I just finished watching all the episodes sequentially. ...
