photo from Martha Stewart.com On the list today—these are so flippin' cute! I really want to make them. I wish I had seen these a few days ago. I need to remember to check Martha's site earlier then 48 hours before each holiday. photo from Martha Stewart.com I am in love with these little fans. It's a printable PDF project so I know I can do this with the girls in time for...

I realize not everyone wants to make their own deodorant. It probably falls into the category of lollipops for some, and for me, crackers. I just think, "Why?" However, I found myself revisiting the homemade deodorant issue again lately, and here's a few good reasons why; I stink, conventional deodorant ingredients freak me out, the natural stuff rarely works for me, and when I have...

This ice cream bombe was made for Father's day. It was so good. It's vanilla ice cream with a layer of crushed graham crackers and java chocolate chip ice cream in the middle. Chopped cashews are sprinkled on top. Pretty tasty. The girls wanted to make it. They weren't into the coffee flavored ice cream, but they didn't mind because they were eating the vanilla out of the carton...

I didn't make Liddy's party invitations this year. This is a big deal not because I felt guilty (these are so crazy cute I am thrilled to have found them) but because I Iove making invitations and all paper type items for the kids and was sad to not have the time to design any like Sadie's last b-day invite or Liddy's birth announcement.

And I love diagrams that have white lines on a dark background, like old blueprints. This is making me so happy. And hooray for using fabric for wrapping gifts and not paper that just gets thrown away....

Window shopping at La Garconne. These are all from the sale section. Both these dress have such great belts. Belts make me happy. These dresses make me very happy. This is so flippin cute and this gathered bit at the bottom would look so bad on me. Just horrible. These wonderful pieces made me all excited—so I went out and bought 4 plain t-shirts at Old Navy....

So, I'm not mad at this dress anymore. It's been 2 weeks now, or maybe just one week. We are friends. Middle child loves her and actually cried when she was getting washed, which is a first. I realize now I was unconsciously trying to recreate this dress which is dear to my heart (it's from mini boden) and I get a little panicky when I think of it getting too small, so I am really happy I...
