You know side dishes that you go back to over and over again because they are yummy and easy and go with everything? These crispy, herb-y, parmesan-y potatoes are one of those for us! I can’t believe we haven’t ever put the recipe on here, actually. Time to remedy that. INGREDIENTS 6 russet potatoes Coarse […]
happy donut day (and a few fun donut ideas!)

$3 party decor (an engineer-print-made-fancy)
Burke had a birthday last week! And even though seeing “8” on his cake makes my stomach hurt, I have to admit, I really love this age. He is settling into himself and we see bigger pieces of Someday Burke all the time. He is an avid reader and tells me something I didn’t already know […]
DIY unicorn dolls
Piper seems to have caught Unicorn Fever in the last few months (she’s requested “unicorn and glitter” as the theme for her next bedroom- ha!), so naturally this magical mystical creature was the theme of her half birthday party this year {Sidenote- we aren’t starting a ‘half birthday’ thing. We just already have a FULL […]
DIY kids apron
If you walk into my parents’ kitchen on any given Saturday morning while we are there (and many evenings), you can find Piper standing on a stool next to my dad, making something yummy. Her favorite thing to make with her Papa is sourdough waffles, but she would cook or bake with him anytime. And […]
rainbow sangria
Happy almost-summer, friends! After the pretty deliciousness of the rainbow layered lemonades, rainbow sangria was the only logical plan, don’t you think?

Our lineup includes blueberries, green apples, lemons, oranges, red apples and dragon […]
DIY flag banner- handmade nursery decor
This is one of my favorite projects from Bohden’s little nursery nook. I shared it at Skip To My Lou awhile back as a handmade Christmas gift, and then promptly decided to keep it and hang it in the then-foster-nursery-turned-Bohden-nook. It’s so easy to customize, works great in a nursery, and also makes a great […]
DIY pineapple pillow
One thing that I love about living in the tropics? It seems like an excuse for Pineapple Everything. Pineapple shirt? Of course! Pineapple snacks? Necessary. Of course the day would come when a pineapple pillow was requested, and affirmed. This little gem actually currently occupies space in Baby Girl’s nursery (which reminds me that I need […]
quick and easy DIY burp cloths
Can I tell you something? I think baby projects are my favorite kind. I remember having a never ending To Make list after Piper was born- not the burdensome kind of to do list, the I-can’t-wait-to-sew kind of list. This last couple months have felt like that again. Baby girl is accumulating quite the stash […]
nesting (round 3)
I have always wondered if I would nest as an adoptive mama. While I was pregnant, my nesting urges were overwhelmingly strong. In fact, when I was pregnant with Pi I couldn’t sleep, so I spent hours each night during my third trimester washing baby clothes in Dreft and deep cleaning every inch of our […]
