I’ll admit it I caught the big. The quilting bug. Honestly though I made a quilt for Lexi what kind of a mom would I be if I didn’t make quilts for the rest of the kids too. I started back in January cutting out pieces for the boys quilts. Then because his birthday was coming I decided to complete Rory’s quilt first. Now remember back to Christmas Stockings in the December Recap, you see there was some reason to my madness of the different stocking styles. I was lucky on this one because I had a couple pieces still...

The planning for this party seemed to start forever ago! I asked Rory what kind of birthday he wanted this year and he excitedly told me a rainbow and unicorn party. I think easy enough and plan on a few decorations and to make the same strawberry cupcakes (note: I alter the recipe to have 1c pamela’s gf pancake & baking flour & 1/2c pamela’s gf bread flour) I made him last year because they were delicious. Then one day I start thinking about the decorations I saw on Facebook a while back of OhMeaghan’s Rainbow + Rollerskate party and dropped her...

Woo Hoo this is the last monthly recap post tomorrow I’ll have just a regular concise post for you aren’t you excited?  Early in the month I decided to restock our freezer with pancakes.

I started with plain, then was asked if I’d make apple, then banana nut, then I went crazy and also made cranberry orange, lemon blueberry and a savory tomato, basil & mozzarella that we had for dinner. Jack received...

I didn’t take a ton of pictures in January so you are saved from a post with eleventh billion pictures in it again.  Lexi got a kindle and this was how we found her (and often still do) for hours on end.                     Then I spent a bazillion hours on the couch watching the 1st season of Game of Thrones and part of Homeland and talking with my Dad who was still visiting while I knit Jack up this new friend from this pattern. Then even though it seemed like we...

For as busy as November was December was even busier! I hope you enjoy pictures!  December started with a revamp of all the body butter packaging. Then came my last show of the year with the West Elm + Etsy event. I had a blast stepping outside my box display wise and using props from the store. Then because Rory had gotten his cast off he was ready to start riding his bike. Finn couldn’t be out done so was happy to play on Jack’s scooter. Then I had the kids paint some wood cut out birds as decorations for...
