Every year for the past few years Elizabeth and I have built some sort of summer PVC project for our kids and this year is no exception. This year's PVC project may just be my favorite so far.And the kids LOVE it.In fact Simon's been working up a routine to do with it to earn a little extra summer cash.Ok, so maybe the four-foot-man-eating-chicken routine was really all my idea.But with him willing to dress up and humor me by posing like a crazy person for a few minutes I just couldn't help ...

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.

With Heartfelt Gratitude I’d like to Thank The Red Solo Cup
Last week was our spring break and I was so excited. I literally counted down the days until it came and meanwhile had made a list of activities and projects to do during those long anticipated days that I'd have all the kids home together. I seriously couldn't wait. And we started off great---taking Simon and Grace to Holi Fest and later that evening to an Easter Egg Hunt at my parents house. But as we played in the yard that night we noticed that something was wrong with Ruth and by the ... View the Post
