I don’t spend hours on Pinterest like I did in the beginning. Part of that is I have gotten busier and therefore made less time for it, and part of it is shifting my focus from PINNING, to DOING. My pinterest is filled with Cute Kids Stuff, Food I Love, Inspiration, Things That Make Me Laugh, and more…so much more. I love looking through each album to get new ideas or remember something that has helped me….but the one that…
Don’t Let Summer Vacation Terrorize You: Tips for a Fun Family Vacation and Taking it in Stride We’ve all seen them before. They wander with their dead eyes, disheveled clothes and frazzled hair, through airports, or are seen tumbling out of cars trailed by crumbs and empty juice cartons. They are zombie moms; moms who are trying to navigate summer vacation but have become disoriented by all the hassle. But summer vacation doesn’t have to be a source of stress.…
Well if you follow my facebook page {and Canadian news} you are probably well aware of the devastating floods in Southern Alberta. Calgary, where I was born and raised was hit the worst, with Medicine Hat {lived for first 5 years of my life and visited regularly as a kid} and Edmonton being hit as well. Calgary and the surrounding areas {High River for example} are experiencing mass amounts of destruction and thousands of people are kicking it into high…
It’s been a while now since this beautiful machine made a temporary home with us. And while my kitchen is cleaner as a result of it not being the table centerpiece – I’m still very very bummed. So are my unfinished {and un-started} sewing projects. It’s take me so long to write this post for one major reason – I didn’t know where to start. I mean, what to mention first, what will you find valuable, etc. So I made…
Ready for my thoughts on the last two Julep boxes I received? {Read about November and February Maven Boxes Here} The American Beauty Maven Profile was changed to Modern Beauty for the March boxes. It was precisely for this reason that I chose not to skip the March box. I was not a huge fan of the multiple polishes each month {can get excessive quickly} and was THRILLED they were going to be changing it up with more full…
I’ve already done a Julep review once before, but seeing as I still haven’t cancelled my subscription and managed not to skip some months in time – I had 4 beautiful boxes waiting for me at the condo. Yay to my sister in law for bringing them back for me {she went at a different time}. Wanna know what I got and what I think? Well, okay… First things first – Julep made some changes to the American Beauty maven…
Blurb has come back to offer a fabulous 25% discount on any orders placed from now until April 15th {yep, a week away}. I know this is fast…and sometimes it can be difficult to figure out EXACTLY what you want to do. So let me give you some ideas! Mother’s Day and Father’s Day are just around the corner – consider a Blurb book for Grandma and Grandpa filled with photos of their grandkids. Maybe all photos of the kids…
I am nearing end of the loan period for the Dreamweaver XE that was sent to me by Brother Canada. And honestly, I DON’T WANNA GIVE IT BACK! **Stomps Foot** And also, my friends and I are sewing the crap out of it – and loving every minute. We have already made embroidered shirts, 3 dresses, 1 skirt1 appliqued shirt, bound a quilt, and are currently in the middle of quilting another small quilt. PLUS – There are about 3…
This One’s For The Boys! #makingmemories #disney #brothercanada
One thing I know from my accessory making days, is that boy items are LIMITED. There just isn’t that much out there for the little guys, so it’s especially fun to be able to make something *boyish*. Jonah’s been begging me for a shirt to match the pyjama bottoms I made him for Christmas, and this was the perfect opportunity. He is THRILLED! And he felt the need to present his jammie bottoms in a yoga pose. lol And a…
