Sewing, Crafts, and Home DIY
I am a craft blogger. This must mean that my house is super cute and perfectly organized and clean all the time. This must mean my kids are constantly sitting down with my undivided attention to do unique and creative crafts with me. This must mean that everywhere I go I carry my SLR camera with Huge Lens snapping amazing photos of my kids to blow up huge and frame on my gallery wall. Right? Right? Nope. Well, sometimes. Rarely. … [Read more...]
Valentines is approaching. And the same old flowers and chocolate candy can get a bit predictable and therefore, non-special. Something I want to try this year to make Valentine's really special is to do two weeks of loving acts for my husband. We took a test last week to discover our Love Languages. We were both very different, but everyone has some of all of the 5 love languages. I made these cute printable cards to do 14 days of Love to … [Read more...]

Well here's the real news, accompanied by a long Story of My Life. Congrats if you read it all! About seven months ago, my husband started a new job. And about six months ago, my husband realized he absolutely loved his job and never wanted to leave. This was amazing news! … [Read more...]
I'm a Greek Yogurt fan. I don't love regular yogurt but Greek yogurt is thick and creamy and full of protein, so it's a winner. But nowadays there are lots of different brands and varieties and it can be easy to get stuck in a rut picking the same brand. There might be a better one out there and you would never even know! So I took the Yoplait Greek VS Chobani taste-off challenge to see which one was better. I have tasted several Chobani … [Read more...]
So the other day we discover my 3-year-old has been trying to clean the bathroom mirror with Lysol. And then we found out he had sprayed it directly in his mouth. Such an awful moment for everyone! Ever since then, my husband and I have been feeling a lot more inclined to buying the more natural ingredient cleansers. We've never been pro or against them before, I just wanted to buy a cleanser that worked. After the Lysol thing, I was ready … [Read more...]
January is my arch-nemesis. With the exception of the four years I lived in sunny Arizona, the other 25 years of my life I have gotten seasonal depression in January (on the flipside, I got seasonal depression in September in Arizona.) It's never been so bad that I needed medication or therapy. And this post is not about treating serious cases of Seasonal Affective Disorder. Simply put, I get the 'winter blues.' The winter blues consist of … [Read more...]
Valentine's Day is a weird holiday for me...it's always determined by how the new year is going. Sometimes I get lucky and don't get sick and am not super busy. And then there's this year. Last year I had a nice little Valentine's setup and decorations. But this year, I'm thinking nothing will happen until February 14th. However, if I do get a moment, I might make one of these super cute and very simple Valentine decorations. 1. … [Read more...]
