A Quick Gift for Father's Day

At our house we always seem to be slightly behind and end up cramming to get our father's day gifts done the night before that special day. Sometimes they don't go as planned and we spend a frustrating time figuring out what to do. This year we decided to change this (maybe the rain, rain and...

Newborn photo shoots are fun. But what do you do with all those pictures? Here is an idea that is sure to be a hit. At least it has been with my daughter and her friends.

Keeping It Simple - Show and Tell

I hope your holidays were full of fun with family and friends. I listened to people make their New Year's resolutions the other night.

Keeping It Simple - Tags All in the Hoop

And they were all jumbled together in huge tubs so it took the kids some time to find the one that belonged to them. So, this week we made In-the-hoop tags. Here is...
