Sewing with young kids

I love to sew!  Forget Naptime crafts...sewing, baking, and gardening are all a close tie for my all time favorite activities to do with kids.  They learn SO much by measuring, pinning, and choosing fabrics with me.  We have LOTS of friends having babies this and next month, so we are busy making gifties like these! I like to combine some home-made with some store-bought to round out our gifts! My projects may not be the cutest or the most perfect, but they are definitely made with love!  ... Read more...

Welcome Banner for Grandparents

Teacher School Supply Box

New Teacher School Supply Box Drive

Shhhh… What teachers would never tell you is that this is their favorite time of the year. Why you ask? The answer's not what you think.  The middle of summer is the best school supply shopping time! I have not met a teacher who doesn’t love and need school supplies for their classroom. School supply budgets are getting cut throughout school districts in our nation and teachers are finding their own resources to ensure children have everything they need to succeed. I can't think of a ... Read more...
