I’m helping out with the little E Machine’s Thanksgiving party at her preschool. Here are the little Oreo turkeys I’m constructing:   You can find instructions for making these here: http://www.food.com/recipe/oreo-cookie-turkeys-142998 HAPPY...

As the corn season comes to an end, we are trying to use what we can in some yummy recipes. I found a delicious recipe for corn fritters and they are the best fritters I have ever had. I found the recipe here. The great thing is it has zucchini it it as well and the kids ate it all! I think...

Miss Molly turned 2 on Wednesday. Today we had her little family party. I made her a special dress with what seems to be the new color combination: red and aqua! I made matching hair clips to complete the look. ...

The end of summer is bitter sweet for me. Although I am utterly tired of the heat, I will definitely miss the fresh fruit, fresh veggies and all the amazing dished you can make with these items. My wonderful father-in-law is constantly bringing fresh fruits and veggies from Virginia when they...

Remember the fabric covered bracelets I showed you here and here? I don’t know why I hadn’t thought of this before now but it is also the prefect template for a beaded bracelet. I had some beads leftover from the Redneck Wine Glass project and it popped into my head that the beads...

We finally got ourselves together enough this season to actually plant some tomatoes and a few other items for a little garden. I have been shocked at all the tomatoes we have actually gotten, but I am not a huge tomato fan and since my husband can’t eat them all on his own I wanted to find...

Today was a big milestone in our household.  My little boy had his first day of kindergarten!  I wasn’t worried about getting tearful because I was so excited for him to start this chapter.  Maybe it is having a boy that makes less sensitive?  What do you think?  I was so excited...

I usually LOVE the challenges that use different products or different platforms but this episode was just too weird for me. I felt like the stilt walkers were bizarre and made everything look really odd. I also felt like the judges (as one of the designers stated) should have been judging a...

Yesterday I showed you how to make a pair of capri toddler pants from a dress shirt.  Now I am going to show you how I made the coordinating tank top.  I had a yellow Fruit of the Loom tank top in my craft room that matched perfectly so I folded it in half and ironed it to make a straight...

Mr. Goodwill recently brought home a load of clothes he picked out for me and one of those items was a long-sleeve dress shirt that, although cute, was way too big for me. I decided it would make a super cute outfit for Molly! I figured the arms of the shirt would make a really cute pair of...

My grandma lives in a retirement community that provides free coffee every morning up at the extended care and community center facility.  One morning when we went up for free coffee the gift shop was open so we went inside.  I saw a really cute bracelet that was made using safety pins and...

Since I left for vacation the day after episode 1 for Project Runway Season 9, I am posting my ratings for both episode 1 and 2. I am already in love with this season. I think there are going to be some amazing and dreadful things this season! I have my doubts about this Anya who claims to...

Even as a little girl I remember feeling a sense of peace, tranquility, simplicity and joy where my grandparents lived in Manheim, PA.  Both of my parents were born and raised there and my sister and I always loved going to visit.  One of the greatest places in the area (in my opinion) is...
