This is a parenting tip that I just barely learned with baby #5. it’s so advanced and so counterintuitive that only the most advanced parents may employ it*: If your child starts to throw up, DO NOT pick the child up and dash madly for the closest bathroom. You will only leave a giant trail […]
For Fess-Up Friday I’m showing you my amazing mail-sorting and storage system. You guys are going to want to add this to your Pinterest boards for sure. Okay, so it’s really just a giant bin that the mail gets tossed into. Or sometimes we just throw the mail near the bin. You might not be […]

I got together yesterday with my old high school friend Kim. Jasper and her daughter got along very well. As in “madly in love”. It’s so cool when your kids get to meet your friends’ kids–and they get along! Sorry the pictures are blurry. I was laughing so hard I couldn’t hold the camera steady.
I’m about to walk out the door to JoAnn Fabrics. I shall be buying fabric and sewing a pioneer outfit for my oldest daughter for the Pioneer Trek this weekend. It’s a tradition of Mormons to recreate a pioneer experience for the teenagers every few years. Of course starvation, death and cholera will be omitted […]
Unlike most bloggers these days who have a charmingly dressed toddler and a sweet baby who is constantly and adorably photographed, I have tweens and teens and a couple of grown up kids. We moms of older kids are more of a silent bunch. Not because we don’t have anything to say–quite the opposite! But […]
HEB (the best grocery store in Texas, hence the World) sent me some new Primo Picks to try out. Primo Picks are interesting/cool/extra awesome products that they feature at the store. Since I am always game to try new things, I was pretty jazzed. I waited until the kids got home from school before I […]

Because I was on a high from the jam-making I decided to be super domestic and make a tablecloth for my kitchen table. It’s one of those square tables that I’m seeing more and more, but nobody makes tablecloths that size (60″ sq). So I bought some darling polka-dotted fabric (In blue and green […]
More than any other nail art question, I get asked how to paint roses on fingernails. Everyone assumes that since roses are so pretty, they must be incredibly difficult to make. Not so! Making a straight line is about a million times harder! This tutorial will show you how to make a perfect rose garden […]
As I have mentioned before, I have a keen talent for losing things. This week I have lost: Isn’t this a cute earring? I agree. Too bad I only have one now. (I just got them in December! Frustrating!) How do you lose a big cake pan like this? I can’t tell you how, only […]
For How-To Tuesday I’m going to tell you how to have a good Halloween. So what if this is entirely non-applicable for another 364 days! You can memorize this list for next year. 1. Carve Jack-o-Lanterns. Roll your eyes when your 10-year-old daughter says that pumpkin guts make her sick. Try not to yell at […]
