My three year old daughter wears a lot of ponytails, especially when it’s 100 degrees outside like these past couple of weeks! She does wear a lot of pretty hair bows, but while cleaning out my craft closet I found a bunch of ribbon that I thought would be perfect to dress up some of [...]
While at Goodwill a couple of weeks ago I spotted this handmade storage table with cool moldings. It was $20 and I really couldn’t think of a good use for it. But after seeing it go unsold for about a week, I finally had to snatch it up on 50% off furniture day! For only [...]

Don’t you just love summer vacations? Right now we’re in the middle of spending 7 lovely days at one of our favorite destinations: sunny Panama City Beach, Florida. We usually head down with my parents and siblings, and it’s my daughter’s first time since she was just a baby. What I adore is watching her [...]
