This month we wrap up the 2020-2021 school year for PTO and planned for 2021-2022! I am going into my 3rd (and final) year of being the PTO President for my kid’s elementary school. Every year we have a big planning meeting in June for the next school year. Gifts are my love language –…

Since my kids were really little I have been wanting to make them each a quilt – even buying fabric for them – but of course I never got to it and now they are totally over the original fabrics (flowers for her, cars for him). So I started from scratch, this time getting input…

I was going to save this activity for my summer newsletter but decided with all the craziness going on now with the Coronavirus, that I would share and add a little fun for kiddos who are off of school due to the virus. I did this project with my kids back when O was almost…

This project has been on my list for almost a year now – and we just got them updated before the next birthday parties!  I blogged about  birthday books back in 2013 – see the post HERE.But now my daughter is just about to celebrate her 10th birthday – so we have 9 birthdays worth…

The big princess party is getting closer and I just finished up all of the favors for the kiddos.  I made fun bags that I will share soon – but first I want to share the princess wands that I made for the princesses!  And I wanted to share how I made them with you!…

I love banners at parties!  You might have noticed that in some of my other party posts.  I even just posted a tutorial for a fabric pennant banner HERE! For Miss O’s princess party – I wanted to use some fabric that I had used as table décor at my wedding.  It’s pink and sparkly and…

My sister’s and I loved playing with Barbies!  We would make houses on the floor with our hardback Disney books and play for hours.  One Christmas we got a beautiful Barbie house that my Dad made from plans he got from my Aunt.  It was so awesome!  3 floors and an elevator!  Over the years it…

We are heading to the beach soon and I felt like I needed a nice big beach bag!  I have been so busy with party projects and sewing for my kids that I thought I deserved a little selfish sewing (plus my birthday is coming up soon)! A quick search on the internet I found…
