May 21, 2012 in Making our House a Home

T-shirt Quilt

May 18, 2012 in Made by Mom

It was about this time one year ago that I shared photos and a tutorial about the T-shirt Quilt I made for my brother as a High School Graduation Gift. Several years earlier (about 6-7 years ago), I made one for myself. It recently made its appearance on my blog [...]

Josiah’s First Birthday Party

May 8, 2012 in Announcements, Mommy Musings

My Selah Mae turns 1 tomorrow. I seriously can’t believe how fast that year went. I am really very truly convinced that it went faster than Josiah’s first year (which also went fast). My parents and brother are visiting us at the ranch for “birthday weekend” (Selah’s B-day is the [...]

The Evolution of Our Kitchen

May 3, 2012 in Making our House a Home

A few weeks ago, I revealed our new bonus room…and the week before that, our living room. Sandwiched between them is the kitchen. This is what it looked like when we bought our house:-We bought our house as a foreclosure, so we expected we might have to purchase our own [...]
