How to Make a Dress From Pre-Smocked Fabric – In Less Than an Hour! (she: Cami)

how to make a dress from pre-smocked fabric

Hi! It’s Cami from TIDBITS, and I’m so glad to be here again today! I’m going to share with your how to make a dress from pre-smocked fabric because it’s that time of year again.

The time when you pull out your kids’ clothes for the warmer months – only to realize they have outgrown every item of clothing from last season.

And you reflect on the fact that they are growing faster than the weeds outside – and that is saying something.

Or is this just me?

How to Peel a Kiwi Flawlessly – With a Spoon! (she: Cami)

how to peel a kiwi

I was peeling a kiwi one day, the same way I always peel a kiwi, mind you. My husband stopped in his tracks and asked me where I learned to do that! I thought to myself, “Doesn’t everyone know it is best to peel a kiwi with a spoon?” Then I thought real hard, and remembered it was about 10 years ago, in a college cooking class, that I learned it is best to peel a kiwi with a spoon.
And then, all of a sudden, I felt really smart because I remembered something from college (definitely not from a Math class). At any rate, if you want to learn how to peel a kiwi so it is flawlessly curved and with maximum flesh reserved – check this out!

5 Indoor Winter Activities (she: Cami)

I live in the Rocky Mountains – the part of the Rocky Mountains that is usually snowed in from Thanksgiving to Easter. Not this year, though. We had an especially long Fall, and Spring is already on it’s way. We had one huge snowfall on Christmas day, and it’s been melting ever since. Are we the only ones with a super mild winter this year?

Part of me wants to enjoy this. The other part is wondering how we will water our crops this year. As for the rest of my family – well they are kind of bummed about all the enjoyable winter activities they missed out on this year. So while the birds chirped outside, I decided to bring winter indoors for a day, and we had a BLAST creating a winter wonderland right inside our living room. We had so much fun, I had to share these 5 indoor winter activities to enjoy, when winter doesn’t happen outside.

Photographing Kids – 10 Tips for Taking Successful Blog Pictures (she: Cami)

Photographing kids

I often get asked how I get my kids to pose for pictures, especially when they are often for my blog. Children don’t generally love being asked to sit still and smile, or stand just a certain way while we snap picture after picture in their face. They would much rather be off playing, I assure you. The thing is, for general life capturing moments – it really is best to take pictures that represent the moment as best as we can. However, being a blogger, I am often after a certain shot and trying to showcase an item as best as I can on a wiggly, impatient child. Photographing kids like this can bring many challenges for the mommy behind the camera.
