or at least I was with my mom’s help. I am pleased with how they turned out, the girls love them and that makes me even happier!
Right before we left I figured found a tutorial (HERE) for a skirt that I really liked. We just happened to have this Moda and Amy Butler fabric sitting [...]

We are home from vacation, hence the lack on content around here for the last week +
The end of our trip included a couple days in North Carolina with good friends who understand a bit of our life and vice-verca. Twins are a trip, for better or for worse. Many people thing it’s all cute [...]

Why do kids have to grow up so fast? Really, look at this:
We were getting ready for church and everyone ended up in a dress. They all looked so grown that I had to take a picture…we were late, but I didn’t care. When did this happen. The twins aren’t so tiny anymore. And the [...]

In their Christmas stockings at Grandma’s this year, the girls found some bath foam. You know the kind. It’s a bit like hair mousse, but soap and for kids to play with. We have had the darndest time trying to get the things to work. Then the other day it was as if they just [...]

I love getting farm fresh eggs. It’s the simple things in life that often give us pleasure and this is just one of them for me. A gift of a dozen eggs from roaming chickens makes me smile!
My kids love it just as much. This picture is a bunch my cousin brought by for us. [...]

Forget a basket on the front! This would be fun on market days. Put a kid or two in the back, add market goodies, then head back home. I love the vintage look.
Thankfully the ride home is mostly downhill.

Here is a photo of our little Ilean from around Easter. It’s an awful picture of her, she would b embarrassed for me to show it I am sure. Her top-knot is not done properly, she could use a brushing, and that darn reflection that dog eyes get in pictures…regardless, she is a hairy beast. [...]

There are two farmer’s markets this year. Two of them, in our little town, at the same time…it’s a bit odd.
I really hope that there is a good bit more produce and farm fresh goods this year as compared to the last couple years. It will be interesting to see (and I will report) what the “new” [...]

I made Ricotta Gnocchi about a week ago for dinner. It was this months challenge for the Daring Cooks over at the Daring Kitchen. I am not sure that I have ever had the traditional potato gnocchi before so I have little to compare it to. This was so very tasty. It was easier to make than [...]

It is that time of year again!
I had to drive 30 miles south, but I had an itch to go to a Farmer’s Market and our local one doesn’t start until next week. As it turns out, I had something else to do in that town as well, so it made it worth the trip. [...]
