OK, so Fridays are serious business at Little A’s school (and consequentially, for Little A as well). They are spirit days and if you wear red or a viking shirt (or both!) you get a treat and earn points for your class. The class that gets the most points wins the “Viking” to keep in …
[Anticipating Kindergarten and an….]
Little A is going to his first day of Kindergarten tomorrow and we had to pull together an “All About Me” poster for the event. Being up against a clock and having most of our stuff in boxes (I can’t seem to find the boys art supplies anywhere and we are all going a tad …

As we’ve been unpacking and trying to get settled in to our new place I’ve been having a few nostalgic pangs while remembering our previous place of residence.

While on our recent travels to see family and friends I couldn’t help but be inspired by my lovely nieces. After spending a couple of days with them I knew right away that I wanted to do a simple sewing/dress up craft with them. Lucky for me, they were willing to indulge their silly I-must-create-while-even-on-vacation …

Last weekend we were able to attend the fabulous LA Renegade Craft Fair which has become a favorite Los Angeles experience for us. It has also become a beloved spot for finding unique, one of kind, back-to-school t-shirts for Little A and this year we made it a point to be on the look out. …

My older sister recently welcomed her 4th little girl into the world (5th child total, as she has one boy) and I couldn’t be more happy for her. I wanted to celebrate this new little darling, baby Ella, so I decided to make her a quilt. I have had this idea for a simple herringbone …
