So I got a little behind posting about the 'Sew Classic Clothes for Girls' Book Tour this week. I'm in charge of Savannah's Kindergarten holiday party, so I have been busy getting ready for that and just trying to truly enjoy this holiday season with the kids. We made several different Christmas cookies yesterday and have been having a wonderful time. They're only little once, right? I'm sure you understand. But I'm back this morning to update you on where the tour is located and which blogs are doing giveaways for the book. … continue reading
Love for Ruby
The thing I love most about the blogging is the sense of community. There are so many different women that I interact with on a daily basis and perhaps have not met in real life, but I still consider them my friends......some of my dearest friends.

My mom (Grandma Jane) actually just had open heart surgery to replace her aortic valve about four weeks ago, … continue reading

This post is sponsored by Michael's, but all opinions and photos are 100% mine.

And as sad as I am to admit it, a whole lot of nothing. So when Michael's sent me this new Recollection Calendar Kit, I was over the moon. Finally a way for me to document our special moments each year without feeling like I have to do a full scrapbook. … continue reading
