Sewing, Crafts, and Home DIY
We are at the end of Potty Training Week 1 for my 3-year-old, my second boy. I think I speak for everyone when I say that potty training suuuuuukkksss!!! Truth be told, it's not THAT bad but it's a lot more exhausting than I think we expect. You have to spend a LOT of time and vigilance, staying on your child, helping him/her go to the bathroom every 10-30 minutes, staying super positive, and cleaning up yuckiness. My house is actually … [Read more...]
My mother-in-law saved all of my husband's Legos from when he was little. I mean seriously--entire, complete sets preserved for the last 20 years. That's some serious care. All the Legos from my house growing up are missing tons of pieces and my mom probably threw the rest out. Anyway, so one day she pulled them all out for my 5-year-old son to start building with. They would spend hours building Legos together. And she started to … [Read more...]

I know I missed the deadline for the whole Teacher Appreciation week on this project but since the end of the school year is coming up, I'm sure that teacher gifts are still a hot topic! These pencil vases were SUPER easy and quick to make, very inexpensive and versatile. Anyone can whip these out and you can use anything you have--pencils, colored pencils, pens, markers, crayons. I put some flowers in these vases but you can also fill … [Read more...]
I'm pretty fortunate...I've never had a problem with dairy. I can eat ice cream, cheese, milk, till the cows come home (pun intended.) But my husband and kids are not so much that way. And so many other people around the world suffer with some level of lactose intolerant. To be honest, my family is not that intolerant...if that's the right way to say that. But if they have a lot of lactose for extended period of time, things start to … [Read more...]
One year ago my brother released his wife from life support and officially let her spirit leave this earth. It's the anniversary week of the hardest week of his life, of really our family's life. I know that so many of you have said so many prayers for my brother and his family and I appreciate that so much. One year later, I can't say we are all doing much better and healed up nicely. But it's not so bad. My brother told me this … [Read more...]
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of ZzzQuil for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. I sometimes suffer from insomnia. Not all the time, but I go through phases where I just toss and turn for hours before falling asleep. And if my kids wake me up in the middle of the night--not a prayer that I will be able to fall back to sleep before another three hours. I seems to happen more during stressful periods when I have a … [Read more...]
A few months ago I showed you my Craft Room Pegboard. I'm getting ready to share the entire Craft Room Space but today I'd like to show you 25 inspiring and organized craft rooms. I have so much stuff to organize that I'm always looking for new and attractive ways to arrange my stuff and keep it organized. It's so much easier to be creative when everything is in the right place and you don't have to spend forever looking for what you need, … [Read more...]
