The Art of Homemaking: It All Started When My Husband Lit the Wok on Fire

"Order helps a home to run smoothly...much frustration and time are saved...order sets the stage for power and accomplishment, and when a home reflects tender loving care, everyone benefits."---Daryl Hoole (The Art of Homemaking)I'm trying...heaven help me I'm trying but somedays (or weeks) it seems that the universe is conspiring against me.I've been working on Facet No.4 "A Place for Everything" and making my home a sanctuary .  But somehow, this week, instead of our home increasing in order ...

$5 Friday– Bowtie Flip Flops

We are a flip flop family in the summer.  My kids have been counting down the days until they can wear flip flops (their school dress code doesn't allow them...and even though I have heard for weeks about how everyone else is doing it....we are trying to follow the rules.)But, summer is almost here!!!! YIPEEE!!! And that means it is flip flop time!  I found flip flops recently for 98 cents (now that is a deal) and so I bought three pairs of pink for Hannah.  And since I have a pink girl, I am in ...

Gracie’s Must Have Summer Maxi Dress Tutorial

Today I am sharing a quick and EASY girls maxi dress tutorial! I made this dress for Gracie the other night and she wore it all day yesterday...it's a new favorite.

A Melon Blocked Skirt

Ok, today I've got another skirt... Right now solids are my favorite fabrics---more than prints...more than stripes...more than polka dots (and that is saying something because I really love stripes and polka dots) and this skirt I can make out of any combination of solids I choose. It's a new favorite of mine and it's really easy to make (one of those nap time projects). Here's how to make one: First measure your little one's waist. Now take the waist measurement and double it.  ... View the Post

Movie Nights, A Projector, and $150 Target Gift Card Giveaway

Movie Nights are a big deal around these parts in both of our families.They are usually reserved for Friday nights and are filled with popcorn, licorice (black for some and red for others) and lots of pillows, stuffed friends and blankets. And, as moms, they just happen to be some of our favorite nights. There is nothing better than cuddles, unmistakable kid laughter and the general craziness that comes when five people are watching movies together -- especially when one of the viewers is a ...
