Can I tell you that I love freezer meals? I really do. They started out as a necessity for me during a rough time in my life but I have grown to love them. They really are a life saver. I don't know what it is about a freezer meal but I feel like such a better wife and mother when I know that I have something in the freezer that I can pull out on a whim and feed everyone in an hour or so. (Now that's not saying that I don't call my husband and tell him to stop at Del Taco for 59 cent taco ... View the Post
A Handmade Christmas: Traveling Sewing Kit
Over the next couple of weeks liZ and I are going to share some handmade (AND EASY) gifts for those on your Christmas lists. Today's project is about a thirty minute project that would be perfect for a sewing friend or anyone else who might need a cute little zipper pouch. And here's how you make it... I did the embroidered picture of the thread first, but you don't necessarily need it. The pattern can be found HERE. (Don't be nervous about the rounded top....if you open the zipper it ...

Holiday Ruffled Collar Necklaces
I've had these necklaces on my mind for quite awhile now and yesterday I finally sat down for a few minutes and made Grace two of them. I liked the idea of adding something a little fancy and a little ruffly to Gracie's outfits this holiday season but I wanted something that could be removed and worn with different items. So a ruffled necklace seemed like a perfect solution. And I like the back of these necklaces as much as I like them from the front. These necklaces are inexpensive ... View the Post
Holiday Photobooth Props (Printable Patterns)
Remember when the photo booth prop rage was going on? And everyone was putting mustache's and funny glasses on sticks? Well, in the middle of all that I kept thinking it would be cute to do some seasonal photo props on a stick to play with at family gatherings. When Halloween came around I started some really fun ones but then I never finished them...or photographed them...BUT the other day I had all the kids home with the flu and for fun (and to break up the boredom) we made some ...

It was the best of hems….
It was the best of hems....it was the easiest of hems. (Reallly it is.....) I have one little skirt tutorial leftover when when I did my lookbook that I forgot to show you all. The skirt is made from sheer polka-dot fabric and need to be lined, so I decided to line it and hem it all at the same time, much like a bubble skirt. If you need a sheer skirt lined and hemmed too, here's what I did... That's it.... Happy Monday everyone!!! PS--The Riley Blake Fat ... View the Post
The Art of Homemaking: You’ll Never Believe Who We Met This Week
We can't believe it ourselves.We met the one and only Daryl Hoole!(And she even signed our "Art of Homemaking " books.) Elizabeth and I went to hear her speak Wednesday night at a nearby University and she was everything we imagined she would be. She was dressed in an amazing red suit, pearl necklace and dangly earrings. She is a lady. I enjoyed watching how she carried herself almost as much as listening (and taking 5 pages of notes) to what she had to say. She had poise and ... View the Post
