Kenzie and I hit a summer neighborhood festival this weekend, and a local art studio had an incredible table set up. There were mounds and mounds of yarn, fabric scraps, feathers, pony beads, sticks, pine cones, just a pure mishmash of materials. The philosophy behind the studio is to engage in creative play without any…
Finally, a Pinterest win! Thank you to www.ATeachingMommy.com for this incredible, downloadable, free PDF plan. You made my summer! I’m in Chicago, and all the materials for this project, including the sand, cost me about $30. I had to Macgyver it a bit…my Home Depot did not carry the 3-way connector (the corner piece) that was listed, but…
This place is less than a mile from where Jeff and I had our wedding reception. 🙂
Finally! It only took me nine months to finish (coincidentally, the same amount of time it took to make Kenzie), but I’m so happy with how it came out. I used a Mahogany 120×90 tablecloth that I picked up off Amazon for about $50. These are jacquard tablecloths, which mean they’re woven in a certain way so…

May 13, 2014Daddy’s Birthday Kenzie and the DuckThe other kids at daycare explored the concept of ducks in water…Kenzie is still too young to sit up on her own, so she got to explore the very concept of eating duck, a perfect activity for the Chinese in her. 🙂…
My friend Ang was expecting a baby girl, and decided that in lieu of a registry, she just wanted everyone to help build Madeline’s wardrobe. Visions of cute little dresses, bonnets, darling little shoes, you get the picture. So I wanted to come up with a way to display the gifts as she opened them….
I love rummage sales! Especially when you go at 10a, and all the good stuff has already been picked through. It just makes it more challenging. (Okay, we overslept. Anyway…) Clothes are piled 4ft deep on fold out tables, and there are dozens of women plowing through the heaps. I dug right in and snagged…
