I’m popping in quickly with the first installment of a little free printable I’ve been working on. It’s taking a little longer than planned as I’ve been preoccupied with birthdays and fundraiser obligations. Do you find yourself unable to say “no” even though you really don’t have the time?!

Duct tape gives it a colorful boost and adds a little durability to boot! My daughters would live this cardboard play house from She Knows [...]

We’ve had the rainiest summer down here in Florida than any I can remember in recent history, and, while I am thankful for the water, it has surely spoiled many plans for parks and pools and general outdoor fun. We’ve been relying on our fully stocked game closet to help keep us occupied, but as [...]

I usually only think of Labor Day as one of the bookends of summer. It’s not a day that garners as much attention as more popular holidays, but there is still fun to be had aside from barbeques and final trips to the beach! Try using the day as a chance to celebrate different occupations! [...]

I have yet to find a good store-bought lunch box that will take my kids through an entire school year. Maybe one of these would do the trick? Lunch Bag Sewing Patterns and Tutorials This bag is from Ellen Lucket Baker’s (of The Long Thread) book 1, 2, 3 Sew, and I absolutely love it [...]
