For Mother's Day I made my mom and mother-in-law drink coasters. I have seen some of these pins on pinterest and been dying to try them out! One of the pins that inspired me was Lindsay at "The Cottage Home". Her tutorial is beautiful and done with scrapbook paper! Go check it out! I fell in love with these things and went crazy making them! As I saw how cute they were, I added more coasters to my "make" pile! All of a sudden, I was making over 45 coasters and they were for Mother's Continue Reading
My Creative Spot (part 2)
As promised, here is what is currently clipped to my memo board. The two charts are a behavioral system we picked up from Caleb's teachers at school. They use it in the classroom. When our kids are obedient on the first request, do something unusually nice/thoughtful, are encouraging, or have good "quiet times" we give them a sticker. (Waking up with dry pullups/underwear is also a current sticker get-er) Once their chart is full of stickers they get to pick something out of my prize Continue Reading
My Creative Spot
Creating can be a messy, messy process. My little craft corner in the house had grown and grown into a monster since my last post about it.

I got some christmas money in December that I have been saving to Continue Reading
I love Pinterest! It's been a bitter-sweet relationship between Pinterest and me. It began with a curious sense of exploration and hit a bump in the road when I discovered one of MY creations was out there so publicly. Haha I can laugh about it now, but at the time I really kind of felt betrayed. Two years ago when I was prepping my daughter's bedroom I made a hair bow holder for her many hair bows out of some left over chicken wire that we had used the previous summer to make a compost Continue Reading
I think I may have misled you (part 2)
Ever since I made Reagan's baby quilt over a year ago, Caleb has been asking for me to make him a quilt. So, I thought his birthday was a good time to do it. He went with me to pick out the fabric, and you know he had a blast with it! He got so excited with every fabric. There is two toy story fabrics in the mix. One pattern I thought was "too big" for my size squares, so I was trying to encourage him away from it. He had to have it because it had ONLY Buzz on it. Buzz needed his own Continue Reading
