MIA…

Wow, I have been so absent this summer with my blogging! We have been so busy during the summer taking lots of quick little trips around the PNW, as well as just enjoying time as a family... However, recent events have made me realize how important it is to value all of that family time …

Linen Loungers-P4P

I didn't realize this until the weather finally started to warm up, but apparently I love wearing the same style of casual shorts. You know- the cute running shorts (but let's be honest, that's not what I use them for!), made out of adorable woven fabrics, cute hemlines, etc. Just walk into any Nike or …

Lil’ Firecracker

Well, we had a wonderful time celebrating the 4th of July this year. We were able to spend five amazing days at my in-law's lake cabin filled with all kinds of friends and family. Now, when I say cabin, I actually mean a cabin! It is one of the few originals left on the lake …

Lainey Suit- M4M

Well, it was Addy's turn to get a swim suit! Made for Mermaids is releasing their "Mermaid Shores Swim Collection", which includes so many different suits for both girls and women. We were able to test out the new Lainey Swimsuit, which has so many adorable options. The Lainey Swimsuuit is a two-piece suit with …

Suit Up!

Swim suit season is officially upon us. I've been busy the last few weeks making suits for almost everyone in the family (once again, hubby is left out!). There are so many fun options that have recently been released for almost everyone in the family. Here are just a few of them, with more to …

I am so excited to be a part of the Made for Mermaid/ Patterns for Pirates "Sew What Do I Wear- Summer Vacation Edition" blog tour this year! Summertime is one of my favorite times of year. From the beautiful sunny days, to the time spent with my kids, even the thought of a possible …

Matchy- Matchy

I always feel bad that my son doesn't seem to get as many new outfits as my daughter. Let's face it, there are a ton of patterns out there for girls, not so much for boys! However, Made for Mermaids just released an entire family collection of patterns, making sure that even the boys can …

Oh-La-La… More Big Changes!

Well, apparently my goal is to see how many changes I can make to my life at once! I have recently made another big step (yeah, taking a leave of absence from my job is still the front-runner, but this is another big one!). I have officially signed up to be a Senegence Distributor. What …

Time’s a Changing

For those of you who don't know, I am a teacher. From the time I was a little girl until now, I have always known that's what I would like to do "when I grow up". I have been in my current position for 13 years, teaching middle school... in the same district...even the same …

Happy Easter!

Well, I might be a day late to share, but we had a wonderful Easter. My sister-in-law and her family live about 4.5 hours away and we spent the weekend visiting and playing! The trip down was... well... interesting. It took us about 6 hours, including a dinner stop and a bathroom accident by one …
