Our New Office & Craft Room
I am just thrilled to be able to show you my home office/craft room/guest room. Yep, it has a lot of functions. Originally this room was going to be our guest room. Complete with a full size bed and everything my grandmother would need when she came to stay with us on occasion. That was one of the things we looked forward to when we found out we'd be moving back to California. She passed away just a couple of months after we moved here and it was heart breaking to think that we wouldn't have ... Read More about Our New Office & Craft Room
Serving Others With Mr. Grinch
With the Holiday Season upon us, our thoughts are easily turned towards serving others. I thought it would be fun to create a Family Home Evening lesson on it. We watched a couple of short video clips on serving others. One video especially touched me and the kids really enjoyed it too. It is called "The Coat". Apparently we aren't the only ones it touched. A group of young girls saw it and decided to take that spirit of giving from the movie and start a coat drive for the needy. They ... Read More about Serving Others With Mr. Grinch

Impromptu Tea Party & Mini Doughnuts
Kaylee has really been into baking lately. She loves helping me in the kitchen. We've used the easy bake oven a few times, but honestly, I HATE using that thing! It always sounds like a great idea, but the food has a weird texture and takes forever to bake. I decided to come up with some little baking ideas that she can REALLY help with. First up....mini doughnuts! I found this mini doughnut pan at Hobby Lobby for $9.99, but I had a coupon so I got it for $5.99! I thought that was a ...

Sewing Photo Book Gift Idea for Grandma
We made this sewing photo book of many of my grandma's sewing projects, and gave it to her for her birthday. It was so fun watching her go through each page and reminisce. A great gift idea for legacy seamstresses! Sewing Photo Book Gift Idea A few months ago I shared the project for my Grandma that I was working on. A book, documenting some of the many sewing projects that she has made over the years. The book ended up being 275 pages, and only covered a percentage of the dresses and ...

4th of July Cardstock Wreath {Kids Craft!}
Here is a fun and quick wreath to make this week with the kids, or without, but it is easy enough to do with them ;) To make it even simpler, you can just cut out the stars and glue them to the base instead of making them 3-D, but I think the 3-D stars are fun and aren't hard. Either way, it will brighten up your front door this week!Click here to go to the one we made last year and the tutorial!Here is a quick picture of my kiddos last year on the 4th of July! We added food coloring ... Read More about 4th of July Cardstock Wreath {Kids Craft!}
Buffalo Chicken Wraps
I LOVE buffalo chicken! Wings, pizza, you name it. My favorite buffalo flavoring is Texas Pete's wing sauce. Usually when you make wings you combine hot sauce with butter. Not with Texas Pete's. With this, you simple toss your chicken in the sauce. Done. The flavor is awesome. Not too spicy, but enough kid to be buffalo sauce. I used some inspiration from Skinnytaste and came up with a dinner that we really enjoyed. And the chicken was just as flavorful and juicy the next day for ... Read More about Buffalo Chicken Wraps
