Landry just turned 2. Where has the time gone? My baby is turning in a little girl in the blink of an eye. She talks (in 2 languages, I might add), she runs, she dances, she has opinions, and over the weekend, she started trying to sing the songs playing on the radio. Cutest thing … Continue reading »
Extreme Makeover: Sewing Table Edition
I mentioned a while back that I really wanted a serger. Well, got one for Mother’s Day. And, it’s awesome! I don’t know how I sewed without it before – it makes sewing sooooo much easier!

Everyone has to start somewhere
I just took up a new hobby. Sewing. I always said that sewing skips a generation, because why do you need to learn to sew, if your Mom can do it for you? Well, my Mom has left us to go to a much better place, so I must learn in order to give my … Continue reading »
