My girlie recently turned eight and while I don't usually do big parties (yes, I am lame and I totally admit it) I did do a family luncheon for her baptism day for family and some friends.The first thing you all need to know is that when we just invite family over....it's still a big group (think 7 siblings that live close plus spouses and kids)....so I think we planned for close to 50 people.And since it was August and over 100 degrees outside we decided an indoor lunch party was the best idea. ...

$5 Friday: Summer Cloud Paintings
Hello. Sooooooo today is $5 Friday and I do have a project to share. However, it's not the project I intended.

The Bateau Dress
My fall calendar is looking like chicken scratch with all the events on it right now and it's not even September yet!

It was in my stash and I thought it would make the perfect summer dress.I didn't line it but used blue bias tape to finish the ... View the Post
The Art of Homemaking: All because I was sanding…..
Lately, I have been feeling like I am failing as a mother. I know it's normal and I know we have all been there, but the feelings have been so real and so overwhelming lately.Let me share a couple of examples....I have one child that is struggling with growing up, toss in some learning issues and childhood anxiety, and life isn't so simple. And I don't know how to help. We have talked to professionals, written up plans for the school---but starting school next week isn't helping with my ... View the Post
