This year for Thanksgiving, the kids helped make place holders. These were really easy, although I did have a hard time finding large enough pom poms for the turkey’s head. Which is why they’re a bit hairy- I ended up using pom poms that would go on the top of a knit hat instead of …

We’re thinking about what we have, to determine how thankful we are. Then we are thinking about what presents we’re going to get. That’s why I try to make an …
This isn’t the post that I was planning to write for today, but it’s just something that I felt I needed to write. So bear with me- it isn’t a typical post for me. But I wanted to express how sometimes we don’t need the big and glamorous, but we can find more comfort in …

When we were preparing to have Miss Magoo join our family, I came across some adorable aden + anais Muslin Swaddle Blankets. Seriously, these are some amazing blankets, but I just couldn’t justify the price. Later, when Little Man was just over a year old, I came across a used Aden and Anais in the …
