Do you guys calls this yumminess Puppy Chow? I’ve heard it also called Muddy Buddies, or Monkey Munch. But we call it Puppy Chow around here- and we love love love it! This recipe has an extra special ingredient- COOKIE BUTTER. Because cookie butter all the things. You could even make some for your Valentine. […]
strawberries with chocolate mousse (sugar free!)
Since Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, and since me and my littlest Valentine have been doing all sorts of baking and treat making lately, I thought I’d share a couple of fun Valentine’s treat ideas on the blog this week (though, pretty much you could make these anytime for year round deliciousness). Today’s […]
darling dress in 20 minutes (made from a tote bag!)
Last week I shared a whole pile of dresses that I made for Pi last summer. This dress was part of that lineup, but also comes with the easiest make-your-own directions ever, so I thought I’d share them. But let me back up- when I saw this darling romper (that Miranda made from a fabric […]
pink mimosa bar
So our new house was christened with it’s first baby shower a couple weekends ago (for the sweetest family at church that just got a new foster baby!). Piper helped me with the planning and it was heavy on the pink (plus swans and flowers for good measure). I’m so slow at editing party pictures, […]
DIY valentine’s chocolate box makeover
I think every year I declare my love for Valentine’s Day. I know lots of people hate it- just not me. 😉 Any reminder I can get to gush on my loves is good by me (plus, I’m reworking a couple of our old Valentine’s traditions and super excited about it). For starters, I grabbed […]
a pile of piper-dresses
Pi and I are currently making plans for her Easter dress (choosing fabric, her pointing out dresses she loves, etc). Which reminded me of the PILE of dresses I made last summer when sewing and reading (and so much prayer) were my therapy in an extra rough season. And I never shared any of them here! […]
tart cherry bruschetta
I’m always looking for yummy baby shower or party recipes (or recipes for appetizers to bring to events!). If that’s you too, you must make these Tart Cherry Bruschettas! Even better, they’d be the perfect addition to a Valentine’s Day menu… INGREDIENTS 1 baguette 1 container whipped cream cheese (12 oz) 1 Tbsp powdered sugar […]
how to make a girl’s poncho
Before we went to New Zealand last spring, I made Piper Jane a little poncho. She wore it the whole trip, and it became one of her go-to’s. Now that we’re in New Braunfels ‘winter,’ she has been wearing her poncho all the time again. And since it was seriously SO easy to make, I thought […]
lined fabric organizer bags
Part of every January for me is getting-things-in-order- I love having a ‘reset button’ of the New Year to sort and organize and re-order. And last time I hauled around a diaper bag, I loved having several lined bags to keep things in their spots within said diaper bag. {Side note- I kind of forgot exactly how […]
New Years Cookies- yummy and sugar free
Guys, my mama introduced us to these ‘healthy’ cookies and I can’t stop making them! Not only are they super yummy, they get their ‘sweet’ from bananas and are otherwise sugar free. They’re the perfect thing to keep in the freezer for crazy school mornings, or mid afternoon snacks, or a New-Year’s-Overhaul-Approved sweet treat. Totally […]
