Proof Positive of Project of the Year, tada!


Happy Valentine's Day!




Happy Birthday Thomas!



Circle Skirts






Neck Warmer









Here are some of the projects I have been up to lately. It would be fun to have more time and money to devote, as well as less OCD perfection seeking tendencies that keep me from actually starting certain activities, but so far so good, and I can't wait to give form to the next idea! It's exciting to have so many plans but frustrating to not be able to do them all at once!

Oops! I almost forgot- okay I did- The train I made up after getting ideas from family-fun and seeing the loaf pan oreo wheel ideas got me going. I got the circle skirt tutorial from one of my most favoritest sewing BLOGS! Dana-made-it. She is so snazzy and snappy with her ideas and they are easy to follow. The heart banner was an idea from this month's issue of BHG and the neckwarmer was just for fun because I have this friend who has this thing about having a warm neck. While paper routing with the window down in the winter. Cold in the neck-region? I'll say.

You are so skinny and pregnant. You look so tall too! I need to come up with a fun cake to make for Amelia's birthday, I love yours.

Thanks! PS I look tall b/c John was sitting while taking my pic, I'll try to remember that in the future. I think birthday cakes are pretty fun to make. Especially whimsical polka dot cakes with sprinkles or round candies or cookies and Martha Stewart's website is really fun to look at for kid's cakes for getting the creative juices flowing. The easier the better, I realize decorating is more for me than anyone because I put in all the time, and the kids don't really care but they know it's special and they have a good time.

Hello-

I was wondering if you accept guest posts? I have an event that I would like to tell you about, that incorporates dancing and how it relates to fitness and staying healthy. Primrose Schools is hosting a Dance Off competition (with proceeds going the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals) for families and I think it is something you and your readers would enjoy!

I look forward to hearing from you!

Thank you,
Emily Patterson

Granola Recipe adapted from a Smitten Kitchen Recipe

My friend just made these and gave ME some!  I feel so honored!  They were really crispy and clustery- new word?  So I'm sharing them with you.  Love, Paige   6 c. Old Fashioned Oats 2 c. shredded coconut 2 c. Rough chopped Almonds (I pulsed in the food processor 5-6 times) 1 c. Wheat Bran 1 t. kosher salt 1 t. cinnamon Combine all dry ingredients then add these wet ones. Stir until covered. 1/4 c. Olive Oil 1 c. pure maple syrup 3 egg whites  Whip until they are frothy and pour into oat mixture. Stir until combined.  Spread on a lined baking sheet, pressing it down gently. Bake for 40 minutes at 300. Turn large portions of granola like you are flipping a pancake. (trying to keep it clustered) Bake for 15 more minutes at 300. Check to see if its golden brown all over. If there are any patchy spots. Turn the granola one more time and bake for 5 minutes.  Let it cool and crispify on the baking sheet. Enjoy. Or...

A Pregnant Post by Paige about Pregnancy

Here's the belly progression: 6 Months 8.5 Months Warning! This post may contain personal musings about pregnancy. It may read like a journal. It may contain baby excitement and overall feelings of joy. So I have been stepping on things lately. Mostly toys. How is this possible, you ask? Those of you familiar with my adroit walking skills may be puzzled at this point. I know I was until I took a shower this morning. And I couldn't see my feet at all; not a hint of them, no toes, nothing, not even when leaning forward could I see anything but a belly button sun on the horizon of a large earth belly. And that is why I've been stepping on things. Thomas' toy hammer, a plastic giraffe, the zipper of John's coat . . . The loss of my peripheral vision going down is apparently complete. I can't see where I am stepping! What a frightening feeling. I have also been walking into common household objects with my belly. Doorknobs and chairs. Major medial disco...

Myrtle Beach

Recently we moved to Myrtle Beach, SC.  It has been quite the adventure so far, including moving across the country by car and being out of our home for 9 days before receiving our new house keys.  We have been to the urgent care a couple times and the hospital getting a finger glued back together and a forehead stitched up.  We drove between storms of snow and tornadoes, safely arriving in what we Wilsons consider summer weather, but we have been told to wait until July for the real humidity and heat. Our charming house is twenty years old and very cute.  It has kitchen dining and living rooms downstairs and bedrooms up. It was getting a little awkward when we purchased our electric lawn mower online and then waited several days for it to show up. We have made new friends with our culdesac neighbors, church members, and cub scouts. One of our favorite things is our neighborhood pool at the end of our street, six houses down.  We are really happy that Spen...
