Here is the dress I sewed as a gift to Calla, my niece, for her 2nd birthday. The round pocket is for all her little trinkets. I love the Amy Butler fabrics in this dress, and would’ve loved to make one for myself…except that it might be a little overboard for auntie and niece [...]

We watch television a couple times a month, and when we do, it is usually an episode of Globe Trekker on PBS. (We do not get cable, thank goodness, or I may be tempted to obsess over the Food Network.) Last night, I drooled over the scenic scapes of volcanoes in El Salvador, [...]

These two are three days apart. It’s more fun than I ever imagined to raise our families together, my brother’s and mine. Calla is so yummy I could eat her. Her parents are pretty cool too.

We’ve returned safely from a week-long trip to Williamsburg, Virginia, where we had a wonderful time experiencing our country’s beginnings with my husband’s parents, brothers, and family. Though they’d visited many times before, my in-laws decided to treat the entire family to this unique opportunity that we might experience it all together. Vacations [...]

Addis was here to lead a one-day conference on Spiritual Gifts today at Church. The coolest part of the conference was that we never took a personality test, or defined [...]

All of you who know me know that our family resents the television. Not that any of us, including the toddler, aren’t mesmerized or enticed at times by it’s many charms and kitschy pageantry of eye candy. We would just rather do anything–talk, learn, explore, play, look at each other–than sit in [...]

Caleb, my eldest, turned six today! Not only could he read his own cards this year, he was mature enough to understand our family’s conscious decision to move away from having a big birthday party each year. Being that I am a cake-decorating, favor-making, theme-executing, party-loving kind of Mama, I was initially [...]

8 AM–Received Valentines and gifts from The Boys. Lots of canoodling. Presented my Valentine with a mix of love songs made off iTunes, among which were Roberta Flack’s version of “My Romance,” Stevie Wonder’s “You Are The Sunshine Of My Life,” Joss Stone’s remake of “L-O-V-E,” and Vince Gill’s “Whenever You Come Around,” (which [...]
, and am enjoying the opportunity to teach and disciple my children at home. When not busy with family, I love to paint, sew, garden, host teas, cook, play the piano, mentor younger ladies, and redecorate my girlfriends' homes.
