My sister, Olivia, is in town from Arkansas with my little niece, Charleigh. It's been so much fun hanging out with them for the past week and a great help distracting from all the house stuff we have been going through. Olivia, just graduated from Liberty College, and I couldn't be prouder of her. As part of her graduation present, I made her this little sign. Today, I want to show you how to make it while giving you some tips that I have learned on how to freehand paint Continue Reading
Girl’s Craft Night + Baby Shower
The other night I got a chance to throw a little girl's night + craft night + baby shower all in one event with my friend Erin. We had a blast planning it together for our good friend Dana, and it ended up being such a fun night.

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.

(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
