Things around here have been busy lately...well...that may be a fantastic understatement...but for today I will leave it at busy. Very busy. And while I feel like I am in over my head and drowning I can guarantee I am not the only one struggling... I have been frustrated because in my dream world aside from being independently wealthy and stunningly beautiful I would also have a maid. Or at least have a schedule that would be conducive to a consistent weekly cleaning and errand running ... View the Post
How To Ask Your Kids “So How Was School Today?” Without Asking Them “How Was School Today?” (The Printable Versions)
A few weeks ago I typed up and posted some questions that I was asking my 4th and 1st graders after school....it was something that was on my mind and I decided to share it....I thought maybe someone else might want to try a few of them to...I didn't realize it would get such a large response... ...I guess we all want to find ways to keep lines of communication with our children open...

And Then He Turned 10 (An Art of Homemaking Post)
My oldest (Simon) turns 10 this week. A decade has gone by in the blink of an eye. And I don't want to blink again because when I open my eyes another decade will have passed and my baby boy will have become a man. Our children are only children for such a short amount of time....it very much makes my heart ache to think about it...how will I ever let them grow up? As Simon's birthday approached this year my husband and I did a lot of talking. We really wanted to make his birthday ... View the Post
A Pleated Skirt for #SewYourStyle
Today I get to share a skirt that I made for the JoAnn #SewYourStyle National Sewing Month Challenge. For this challenge I got to make a non-quilted item using quilting cottons and Pellon....um....awesome! I love quilting cottons and Pellon and I wanted a new skirt for fall! It was a perfect match.
