When Kate Pruitt, of Design Sponge, asked me if I wanted to contribute a few DIY crafts for us older “kids”, just in time for the holidays, I jumped at the chance. You know that I’m completely enamoured with kids crafting but I welcomed the chance to kick up the sophistication a notch. This week …
Sweet Baby M turned three weeks today and we are all head-over-heels smitten with her. I was hoping to have her birth story up on the blog last week but with four-year-old birthday parties, sleepless nights and grade school coughs and sniffles, things have been a bit “congested” around here. I do however have plans …
I can’t believe I only have a month (or less) left before our bitty baby girl arrives! I’ve been trying to do my best to prepare for her arrival amidst all the many things going on here – back-to-school, illustration work, blogging and more!
