Food: Texas Sheet Cake

2 Comments

A favorite tradition of mine growing up involved driving to grandma and grandpa’s house (either one, both sets lived about 15-20 minutes away), hanging out with cousins and eating dessert. My parents and aunts and ...

    All Kids Are Artists

    Penelope’s really come into a creative grove since she got her new studio. What’s even more awesome/remarkable is how all of the neighbor kids congregate in the tiny hallway to create artwork with her. We’ve ...

      Fantastic idea! E is constantly creating – I can’t wait until my Dad finishes her art table and set up a creation station for her. So important to foster artistic expression at a young age.

    2. Missy says:

      What a great idea! And maybe once I’ve posted it on my blog she’ll let me keep it down to free up some room on the wall. We’re being over run by fantastic 4 yr old art! I love it, but it’s getting a little out of hand :)

    3. What a great idea! I’ll make sure we participate :)

    4. LOVE IT! I’ve been feeling so unbloggy lately, it hasn’t helped that there is now no home for the notebook… This might help me get back in the groove

    5. Alysa says:

      Again…another wonderful idea. Can’t wait to see what P cooks up. Have you read the book “Walking on Water” by Madeline L’Engle? It’s all about art, writing, and recapturing the creative spirit we had as children. I think you might enjoy it.

    Tutorial: Galaxy Print

    I’ve noticed that if I can’t do something in my studio (if it makes a huge mess), I rarely muster up the motivation to start it. This was one of those rare occasions. I made ...

    4. kristin says:

      This shirt is awesome! Looks great on you. And your postpartum tips were hilarious and true! :)

    5. Lindsay says:

      That is a gorgeous color! I love peplum tops, and they look great on you, too.

    6. Melissa says:

      Love! You should seriously consider a pattern drafting workshop in addition to your calligraphy workshops. I would be there in a heartbeat!

    7. Heather says:

      Yes on the peplum tutorial. It’s so cute!

    8. Natalie says:

      I would love a tutorial! I haven’t had any luck finding a peplum to fit just how I want.

    Thrifty: Leather Sandals

    It’s been some time since I’ve posted any of my thrifty finds. Living on top of a mountain hasn’t really lent itself towards impromptu thrift store excursions. Seriously it’s been months since I’ve been anywhere ...

      Where is that fabric store? I am just dying to know!

    2. Lindsay says:

      I love the sandals! Hopefully Felix loves them too. :)

    3. Anna says:

      I know you mentioned a while ago that you thought you had found the reason Felix wasn’t walking or talking yet. Do you mind sharing that? My niece is a non-verbal toddler and I wonder if it may be the same thing.

    4. Katie says:

      Adorable jesus shoes. You briefly mentioned that you were taking Felix to a new specialist a few weeks ago. Did you get any answers? No pressure to share, just curious about an update.

    5. Sabra says:

      Cutest sandals ever. And such a steal. The pair I bought my daughter are on the small side. We’ll probably only get a few weeks of wear out of them. But that just means I need to go back and pick up another soon, right?! :)

    6. maddie says:

      Jesus shoes! Ha. That’s what my dad calls them.

    7. jessaca says:

      So sweet! My son was a late walker. We had to do therapy with him and he still has some eating issues as well. Just wanted to let you know I understand the frustration!

    8. Bethany says:

      I love those sandals! It was so amazing meeting you. I hope I get to see you again sooner, rather than later.
