For the past 6 years, I’ve been staring at my table thinking, ‘Dang. I need a centerpiece.’ So, for 6 years I’ve been keeping my eyes open for something I loved…and then last Friday, I found it. An awesome floral arrangement, in MY colors, perfect for my table, at Pier 1. I grab the price…
Homemade Honey Graham Crackers makes two dozen 2 1/2-inch cookies adapted from the cookbook Miette: Recipes from San Fransisco’s Most Charming Pastry Shop My Notes – An easy way to get your cookie dough perfectly even is to roll to the dough between 2 1/8-inch dowels.

Well, we’ve kicked off another homeschool year. And, I’ve been promising this post to so many people…sorry, I’m slow.

My little Isabelle cracks me up! She’s such a joy to have around. People love to be around her and just silently wait, because they know she will say something so nuts, it will make them laugh/cry. She’s fiesty, clever, hilarious, original, and sooooo awesome. Oh, and she’s four years old now! She could stay…
My kids are in love with finger painting prints. They literally won’t stop making them. It must be the ooey gooey goodness of getting your hands dirty. Or maybe it’s the surprise of the swirling colors when the print is made. Even I made a couple. I couldn’t resist! Here’s how to make them. Get…
