It’s not quite summer. But when you have an impromptu dinner feeding this many kids and friends while they play in the backyard on a giant blow up waterside – it’s officially summertime. My girls get out of school tomorrow. The round the clock feeding will begin first thing Wednesday morning. I’m talking about when you […]

Babywearing yoga
The popularity of babywearing has grown significantly since my last three girls were born. Snazzy carriers fill up the crunchy mom stores. The market is huge. Moms collect them. Moms do everything in them from laundry to dancing to shopping to yoga. So when our local Babywearing International of Knoxville chapter asked me to teach yoga at […]

Fat quarters, library bag, bib and more
I joined an Anna Maria Horner fabric of the month club when I was pregnant, planning to sew all these beautiful things for baby girl. Summer, pregnancy and three girls made that impossible for me. Then a new baby and three girls made that impossible for me. And now, with all my fat quarters staring […]

I’m officially 40

It was the Valentine Bake sale that I’ve organized for years. The day was filled with love. I took a mediative walk in the snow through the woods at school. […]

They had a sleepover recently to make bath salts, perfume, essential oil roller bottles, heart soaps and more. I took a few photos of them in action. The three friends started […]

Because it’s yummy to […]

It is also the best time I spend with baby girl, staring at her from all different perspectives and watching her grow. She found her toes […]

Snow day MEAT soups
I have a confession to make here before I go on. Ready? Breathe….. After 20 years…..I am no longer a vegetarian. It started with a homemade grilled hamburger from local beef when I was pregnant and anemic. It was so good I ate another. Then we bought a pig from our farmer, after it was […]
