Giveaway Day Winners

First of all, let me just say thank you to everyone who entered.  I read every single one of your comments, retold your jokes, chuckled at the funny things your kids did, tried out your recipes (special thanks to two different readers who directed me to Pioneer Woman’s iced coffee) and visited your websites.  It [...]

Friday Favorites–Graduation

My little girl, the blonde, screaming bundle I feel like I just brought home from the hospital, is graduating from high school in a couple of weeks.  As we expected, it’s been a bit of an emotional roller coaster lately.  Leaving behind childhood and heading into the adult world is big and scary.  I’ve been [...]

This Giveaway Day has concluded – join me in congratulating Blu on winning these sewing supplies!   It’s Giveaway Day once again.  I love the fact that Sew, Mama, Sew organizes and hosts this a couple of times each year.  It’s a fun way to discover some new blogs and shops.  Settle in with a [...]

Friday Favorites–New Life for Old Clothes

This is the time of year when I always find myself standing in front of my closet with a critical eye, ready to start tossing.  Sometimes it’s things that have just seen their last outing, thanks to a hole here or a stain there.  But often, it’s just that I’m tired of looking at a [...]

Knitting Knobby Necklace

I have at least half a dozen projects in motion right now, none of which are finished.  But, I did finish something recently that I started YEARS ago.  So many years ago, in fact, I’ve lost track. If you’re not familiar with what a knitting knobby is, maybe you know it by another name, such [...]

Friday Favorites–My Birthday

I would swear I just had one, but according to the calendar today is my birthday.  My oldest child is graduating from high school soon, so my husband is taking me shopping for a dress.  I feel like I need a button to wear that says “Call me ma’am and suffer the consequences.”  But they’re [...]

Caramel No Bake Cookies

I’ve been volunteering in the College and Career Center at my kids’ high school for the past couple of years.  I’m assigned a group of teenagers, and my job is to help them figure out how to achieve their post-high school goals.  We help them find scholarships, information on colleges, internships, military contacts, volunteer opportunities, [...]

Friday Favorites–Pinterest Finds

This week, I decided to share some of my favorites from my Pinterest boards.  I try not to visit every day, because if I did nothing else would ever get done.  Today though, I spent a LOT of time there.  My daughter called it procraftination.  Smart girl. This canvas project from Virginia and Charlie has [...]

Shopping

I’m a big fan of shopping online.  I love being able to sit at my computer, in my pajamas, and look for anything I might need.  Or not need.  It also makes me happy that someone will bring it to my door. You all know I have a shop on Etsy, but they’ve come up [...]
