DIY Loft Bed for the (pre) teenager
Liam, our oldest child had a birthday at the beginning of September. He turned 12 and now thinks he’s a teenager. Truth be told, he probably is more mature than a lot of teens, but he’s still just my little kid. In our family/ religious culture, there are a few kind of big birthdays– 8,…

Summer Mode
We are in full-on summer mode around here and, as such, I just want to be out enjoying the sunshine.

Special Announcement
I know it’s been a little silent around here lately. I have been working on projects, I just haven’t documented them… like, at all! I will try to scrounge up some pictures of things I’ve done recently. The projects from here on out (for a few months, anyway) will be frilly and sweet in nature. …

Pattern Testing
Ai, yai, yai! It’s been a busy and stressful couple of days, weeks, months. Actually, if we’re being truthful, my stress and busyness factor went up exponentially about 2 years ago and has only gotten worse since then. Here’s what’s made my life a daily mad house on the brink of insanity lately: 1. School…
