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...

Keeping It Simple - Oh So Popular - Embroidered Photo Blocks

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.

Ok, I admit I am used to small dogs - Papillons, which are usually 7-10 pounds. So, when this pretty Brittany Spaniel jumped in my lap right behind the little Cosmo early...
