In case you weren’t around for this post from earlier this week about the sweet little party I put together for my daughter’s third birthday, head over there to check out the full spread. As I mentioned in that post, I rarely put a party together that doesn’t entail some goodies from Lettering Delights. I…
Positively Handmade
As easy as…
As I mentioned in my post yesterday about my outdoor bench update, until this week, my Fourth of July cushions were still hanging out on my front stoop. Bad, right? I had had in mind to make a new, season-neutral set to take their place, but it took until the bench was freshly painted and…
Front porch bench update
I was the lucky recipient of a darling little outdoor bench from one of my dearest friends a couple of summers back, but I recently started noticing that the wear and tear of the seasons had taken its toll on its appearance. That’s putting it lightly. In poor blogging form, I neglected to take a…

If you’re just tuning in, you might like to head over to check out this post from Monday about my daughter’s third birthday party, a Frosty Treat Party complete with a visit from the ice cream truck. We had such a fun time! Today I’m going to share with you the menu from the party….
We all scream for…
…Ice Cream! This summer’s heat can only be summed up with one word: hellacious. Seeing triple-digit temperatures for each and every day in the extended forecast no longer causes me to bat an eye.

A remedy for summer bored-itis!
Create a fun lineup of puppets straight from a Picasso painting with your children this week! Let me show you how. Let me preface this post by stating what is most likely the obvious: In a household with three children aged 4 and under, we eat a lot of macaroni and cheese. And I do…
Fabric Calla Lilies
I love to create wearable pieces that are sophisticated, yet spunky. And, as I’m sure y’all are starting to see, I just can’t function without a healthy dose of color. 😉 Looking at my calla lily wreath hanging in my kitchen a couple of weeks back, it dawned on me those flowers would really pop…
DIY Pillow Forms
Two things you might not already know about me: #1) I like to save money, but I like to do it in style.#2) When I don’t feel like hauling my crew over the river and through the woods for close to a half hour each way, my only option for craft supplies is Super Wal-mart.It…
Patriotic Outdoor Pillows
Matt and I are total nerds when it comes to history. We love the History Channel. We read history books by choice. We actually named all of Jack’s stuffed animals when he was little after American presidents. (Which explains why his best buddy, a stuffed blue puppy, is named Abe instead of Fido.)…
Wire Pea in a Pod Necklace
I have been wanting for ages a necklace to remind me of my three little sweet peas. I first fell in love with this Pea in a Pod necklace from Red Envelope right after Charlotte was born, but since Miss Cecily joined the mix after she did, I am glad I didn’t invest in the…
