Would You Rather Holiday Edition

My kids love to play "Would You Rather" all the time...in the car, at the dinner table, on the way to school, whenever...and my husband and I can't help but join in. Here's how to play...someone asks a question like "Would you rather never eat breakfast again or only eat breakfast foods for the rest of your life?" And then the debate begins. It's a good time.

What is Swiss Chard and How to Use it

A Farmers Market popped up at the park next to my house this summer and I fell in love.

Free Baby Quilt Pattern!

The When Skies are Grey Baby Quilt is a project that we have had on our to-do list forever!!! So when I found the kits already cut and and mostly sewn up (only one border needed to be put on one quilt) I knew I needed to get them finished up. And however many years later, I really do still love this line of fabric so so much! It is so versatile, but makes the CUTEST baby blankets and quilts. So, today we are FINALLY sharing a project that we meant to do when the line first came out (better ... View the Post
