I didn’t take many photos over the weekend like I usually do. I got too distracted by our new Flip HD video recorder, which is awesome! I love how small it is and how easy it is to use. You don’t even need to read the user manuel. You can just take it out of [...]

Today I left my house at 8:30 am and drove for 2 hours in the pouring rain with my sister. We were going to pick up a sofa I found on craigs list. We drove home again in the pouring rain with the sofa strapped to the top of the car. The whole time I [...]

I have set up an etsy shop where I am selling aprons for toddlers and preschoolers. I started out making aprons for my daughter, and I love them so much. Not only do they look adorable on her, but they also protect her clothes from lots of messes. They’re great for art projects, helping out [...]

I’m on a mission to make a birthday present for an awesome three-year-old. It has to be handmade, relatively inexpensive, and above all it has to be fun.
