So number 1 on my list yesterday did work…I totally felt better. Because you ROCK. And yes, I feel like a big dork using the term “rock”, it’s even worse that I put it in all caps…but it’s true my friend, it’s oh so true. Here’s where I was this past week before the pneumonia […]
Down but not out…again
Sophie has pneumonia. Can you believe that ridiculousness?? It was almost exactly one month ago that Sam came down with pneumonia (after 5 consecutive weeks of a horrible cough) & it was around 20 days ago that we found out Parker had cancer followed by him passing away 13 days ago. Last night when I […]
Hungry? DIY Mockingjay pin
I don’t read a lot of books. This isn’t something I’m proud of but it’s true. I love the act of reading so I have dozens of books that I’ve attempted to read but I all too often get bored, skip sentences & inevitably end up never picking the darn thing up again. Not so […]
Best. Day. Ever.
Orange Chicken in a bag…seriously.
Can you believe this… Is from this? Yep. I always wonder about those meal in a bag gimmicks, I mean how good could they actually be? Well this was actually pretty darn good. Now don’t go setting your expectations too high. It’s still basically a frozen dinner but I’d totally recommend keeping a few of […]
How to dye hair with chalk (pastels)
Sam had a few little girlfriends over on Sunday night which proved for the perfect opportunity to try out ‘chalking’ their hair! (thank you so much to Angela who shared the chalking Pinterest link with me!!) The results were HYSTERICAL. The idea is you wet hair & ‘draw’ color on with chalk, you then heat […]
Where am I?
P’s allergies were out of control this weekend so he spent most (all) of it laid up with swollen bloodshot eyes & a nasty case of the pity parties. This of course meant I was on duty most (all) of the time which meant no crafting & minimal blogging. Sadness. Such is real life. Do […]
Etsy Love {Rainbow}
I’m such a sucker for rainbow…I splurged on that tote in the middle. It hasn’t arrived yet but I think it’ll be the perfect summertime bag. I’m also kind of in love with the bangle made of birthday sprinkles. Want more? I started a rainbow Pinterest board here. (Items from left to right: Rainbow dyed […]
Ruffles & Sunshine
This project is actually over on the kaneshow blog today but I just had to share these 2 pics… Lately I’ve found I haven’t wanted to open my own blog because I don’t want to see all the sad stuff that’s happened. I thought maybe this would bring up the happiness average a bit. (Full […]
