Do you get emails like this? “25 unexpected uses for a tennis ball in your house” “45 ways to use wine corks” “56,127 tips and tricks that will change your life FOREVER!” Usually they’re such a ripoff but every once in awhile I come across one that is actually awesomely helpful. Today the girl’s Grandma […]
Foxy Girl
The other day Sophie asked me why I don’t sew her any dresses? UGH! ((twist knife)) I guess Sam is just so much more vocal about her interest in fashion & dress design so we end up having these little sewing pow-wows in my sewing room & I make her things. That and the fact […]
How to make a too big t-shirt smaller, cuter & something you’ll actually wear
P brought me home a shirt from his radio show that I was so excited to wear except for one small detail… It was so big it could show up on doppler radar. I had a choice, stick it in the overstuffed ‘maybe I could wear it as a nightgown’ drawer OR makeover! (I know, a […]
Mommy Metamorphosis
Peek-a-boo! Wondering where the heck I dropped off to this past week? Perhaps it was a secret caribbean vacation that P swept me off to, or maybe I won the lottery & was busy shopping beachfront properties while also building orphanages. Or maybe, just maybe, I was sucked into the sick kid’s blackhole where you […]

I had stashed away the tutorial because back in April I submitted it in hopes a certain publication would pick it up but alas, it’s now officially […]
Teal Tween Bedroom Makeover
Do you remember ohh, about a week or so ago I was telling you about my neighbor who’s daughter wants a bedroom makeover? Well, she’s officially 12, TODAY! After chit-chatting and going through pictures from my ideabook & pinboard that I created for her room she decided to go with a more neutral wall so […]
Sam’s Katy Perry (or Candyland) Birthday Party: The cake, decorations & activities
TheDecor: More than just Ms Perry the party was specifically inspired by the California Gurls video. I was a little worried about how to pull that off but it turns out there’s tons of great ideas out there for a Candyland themed party & most of them worked perfectly! The giant lollipops were probably […]
Cheater’s Steak House Salad
Want to make a nice date night dinner for you & your honey but have less energy than a sloth competing in a watching paint dry contest? Here’s a little backdoor trick I pulled last night… (apparently I’m also still tired today because after staring at my screen for 10 minutes that was the best […]
9 lives
I knew I’d have to babyproof my house when we got pregnant but the lady at the Petsmart adoption center somehow failed to mention our cat would require that times 10. At first we thought, aw, how cute, a kitty in a drawer but then she dove behind the open drawer & we had to […]
