What Do You Want to Make Today?
Clearly I watch too much Food Network. Last week I was talking about “here’s what’s happening” and this week I’m stealing episode titles from “Good Eats.” Shameful. Over the weekend I decided at the last second, hours before going to a friend’s house for dinner, that I was going to make a pasta salad to […]
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 […]
