With my children’s outgrown clothes, I divide them into four piles: save for future, give to friends, donate to charity, and not-sure. The not-sure pile usually has clothes that I like, but are stained and can’t be given to friends or charity. Do you have a pile like this? It feels wrong to just throw [...]
We are gearing up for another party at our house. (Yes, it is quite overwhelming to have Paul’s, then mine, then Christmas, then Clara’s, but then we’re done for awhile.) Clara wanted to have a “snowflake party.” After asking her about six times over the course of a few days, she [...]
Cleaning out her attic the other day, my mother-in-law found some “vintage” fabric at her house and suggested I make PJs with it. I thought, sure… wouldn’t hurt to give the pattern that I was planning to use for Christmas PJs a test run! While I don’t love everything about how these PJs turned out, [...]

I used [...]

With about twenty minutes and some embroidery thread, I had a faux pocket tee embroidered on a plain onesie.
This works for girls and boys, depending on your colors, of course. It also could be a nice neutral handmade [...]
Every once in a while, your little boy needs to be “dressed” up, right? I usually try to dress my little guy nice for church on Sunday, but there are many occasions where something a little bit dressy is needed. The problem is, you still want your little man comfortable. Enter the onesie-embellished tux, tie, [...]
As you may have seen in a previous post, at the end of last month, I hosted “An Indoor Picnic in the Hundred Acre Wood” for my daughter’s second birthday. It all started when I saw the physical likeness between my daughter and Christopher [...]
