My mom is great at hair, so it was a no-brainer to call her after watching you tube videos and practicing and practicing.
She can tease like nobody’s business (she did study hair in the 60’s).
Jessamyne’s hair is done with this tutorial in mind.
Camryn’s came from Missy Sue.
Ready for prom . . . . . .
That is the tag line for this great shop my Sister and Brother-in-Law have. All purchases benefit Orphans in some way. We were able to be a part of a photo shoot – well, Naso was a part of the photo shoot.
And, some of the finished products. . . . .of course these are all of Naso, but the ones of my nieces and nephew are precious!
OK, there is some real personality there!
After Nora got her new Sprout Tops hat, she wouldn’t take it off. When I went to bed a couple of nights ago, here is how I found her when I peeked in her room. That must be some hat!
This amazing painting was done by Albin Veselka, a friend of ours as part of the Covenant America project. Reading about this project and his involvement, just gives me chills.
Chocolate Chip Bacon and Orange Kissed Pancakes
Clever and fun art.
Avocado Tuna Salad: my new favorite lunch.
Really love the style of One Canoe Two, found on The Lettered Cottage
I tried spiralized zucchini this week. Loved it!
New column by Design Mom might actually bring back some creativity to daily lunches.
I think it’s my least favorite thing right now.
In-between cleaning out the barn, putting on farm sales, begging for race sponsorships, visiting running shoe stores, and organizing volunteers, I am still sewing. I’ve had some great projects lately. If you want a closer look, head on over to Piping and Pleats and check it out.
If you know me or have followed my blog in earlier days when I was actually blogging, you know that I love to decorate. And, if you have followed me recently, you know that I have a deep love for South Africa. So, with some birthday money this summer, I bought this beauty.
When the kids started school, I did quite a bit of cleaning and finally hung it up. It makes me happy.
Do you remember the old school maps that your teacher used to unroll?
The girls are still trying to figure out how old it is.
It’s probably not the right scale for that wall, but I love it and it’s staying.
I got an email with a link and a subject line of “25th Wedding Anniversary.” And just in case he thought I wasn’t taking him seriously, there was also a note that says, “For Realz”
Does he know me, or what? It seems impossible right now, but I can’t wait . . . . .
As a bonus, we had a tour with our girls at Sweet Frostings in Spokane.
Sally, one of the owners was so great with the girls. We had a wonderful visit.
It just makes you happy, doesn’t it?
I loved the cake pedestals and the service was wonderful.
The cupcakes were also enjoyable. Sweet.
Darling Bunnies. Don’t these just make you happy?
We don’t do “sugar” cereal, but occasionally I like lucky charms and this Magic Munch looks over the top.
I’m a sucker for maps and this one is cool.
The unexpected pink in this room is luscious.
Dark Chocolate Milk Jam Tart. Not sure what milk jam is, but this looks divine.
Every once in a while, when I go through my iPhone photos, I find some interesting things that have come from kids absconding with my phone. Take a look . . . . .
