Thoughts on family and faith.

I have had a rough morning.
I woke up crabby and just about everything that has happened up to this point has made me more crabby, except for this.
When my youngest refused to go back to bed after waking too early, he was restless downstairs with just me. When we went to go get [...]

Holiday Wrap. $22-30.

Garland Christmas Card. $16 for set of eight.

Holiday Post Cards. $10 for ten.
The non-Christmas stuff is gorgeous, too. But it’s the folk-like charm and yet modern edge of the [...]

I packed in secret. We plotted in secret. We talked in code for months. [...]

Crewcuts.

Found this via DesignMom. Couldn’t agree more with her that the stylists did an amazing job on this catalog.
There’s a tiered ruffle dress in there that is so cute it makes me wish I had a little girl to dress.

King me.

I spent some time on King Arthur Flour’s website this afternoon and found some recipes to play with. I’m actually salivating as I type, they look so yummy to me.
