October Random
Another month gone by too quickly. I've: Been reading A LOT. Learned couponing. It's not what I thought it was so it will take me a long time to fully grasp it. Not been feeling well these couple of weeks. Low Vitamin D (again), etc. Continued to volunteer teaching catechism and singing in the Sunday... Continue Reading →

Where Did Summer Go?
My 6-year-old started first grade. It's been hard for me to grasp this. It feels like she was just born yesterday. My 11-year-old will be starting middle school soon. This will be her first year in middle school. I don't want to even think about it yet. I tried to hold tight onto summer. In... Continue Reading →
Flapper Dress
My daughter asked me to buy her a flapper dress for a school play, but instead, I decided to make one. I've never sewn a full dress but I gave it a try. It didn't turn out too bad.
