German chocolate cake with strawberry butter cream frosting. (I ordered the little sugar flowers on top from Bake It Pretty. I was trying to keep things simple.)

Well, we pulled off Saya’s second birthday party, and I think it was a success. She had a great time, and when it comes down to it, that’s all that matters. It was fun for me to see all of her friends having so much fun together. I want to share some photos of party [...]

Saya’s clothes that I ordered from Smallville arrived. They are perfect, just as I suspected they would be. This dress looks great on her. She has been receiving compliments. The clothes actually arrived a while ago, but I have been so busy lately that I have been neglecting this blog a bit. Saya is turning [...]

Our internet was down for 5 days. We had to wait for a new modem to come in the mail. It was pretty strange for us to go so long without internet, but Junji and I both agreed that it was kind of nice. We listened to the radio and spent more time hanging out [...]

Junji decided that Saya should own these shoes, and I have to say they look very cute on her. He made a good choice. They are Converse All Star slip-ons. We bought them at Babies R Us, but I found them for sale online here. We were debating between the lace-ups and the slips-ons, but [...]

This morning I sewed while Saya played, then I sewed while she climbed all over me, then I sewed while she napped. I finished up this simple camisole top. Saya cooperated with the photo shoot at first. She’s starting to get over it. She makes her escape!

I have been browsing around this website, looking at cute Japanese clothes. (Click through the brand names on the left side of the screen to see all of the clothes.) How I wish I could find more stuff like this here in the states. I like them because they are simple and sweet. I am [...]

I decided I don’t care how cold it is outside—as long as it’s sunny.
