Last year sometime I read an article online, which I did not keep so I can’t give credit to, all about using teen and women’s formal dresses from the thrift store as dress up clothes for little girls. I thought this was a fabulous idea, and when my MOPS group had a rummage sale I […]
Warning: Do Not Leave Child Unattended
I originally thought this post might be a good entry for Listen to Your Mother, but then I decided there’s no way there’s a moral or heartwarming end to this story. So I share it with you now. You’re welcome. I am lucky to be a work-at-home mom whose child goes to day care. For […]

Rice, Rice, Baby
There are so many cool things on Pinterest, and I know it’s hard for all of us to create things as fast as we pin them. It’s all too easy to pin crafty goodness and never actually make anything. So, I’m going to make an effort, at least once a week, to explore something I […]
