We’re pretty relaxed about learning to use the potty around here. I think having a big family and a busy schedule sort of leads to that. They all learn when they’re ready to learn. Charlie’s getting pretty close to making the transition to undies full-time so I thought some fun momma-made undies were in order!My…

Charlie’s Crazy I-Spy Quilt
I’m so excited to show you Charlie’s finished quilt! I actually finished it the night before we left Florida two weeks ago on our family trip, and I had no time to take pictures before washing it, drying it and loading it in the car! These pictures were taken here outside the great little cottage…
Modes4U Fabric & Travel Bags for My Boys
Traveling with little ones is so much easier when everyone has their own place to keep and carry their things. We’re away from home right now on a trip that includes several different destinations and quite a bit of time in the car. Just before we left, I stocked up on activity books for three-year-old…
Crazy Mini-Block Set #1 for Charlie’s Quilt

Their conversation bubbled over with excitement about the mission they’d been assigned, knowing that their new jobs as friends to little ones in foster care would bring smiles to faces and…
KCW Day One: Earth Day!
Since the first day of this season’s Kids Clothes Week happens to fall on Earth Day, I felt it was quite appropriate to recycle some old grown-up wearables into a few new little-one wearables! I started with this pile of polos that I picked up recently at a thrift shop. One of the things I…

The Casual Lady for Spring!
Did you know that Made by Rae‘s Spring Top Sewalong is wrapping up this week? Several years ago, I sewed a top for myself every day of Spring Top Week. How did I possibly have the time? My schedule has definitely filled up since then. I really, really wanted to sew something for myself before…
Covert Robin: What I Received
Yesterday, I shared what I sent off to my Covert Robin. Today, I get to share the lovely gift that I received! Ella from Throw a Wench in the Works sewed for me, and she sent me Un-Paper Towels! These have been on my to-do list for so long, and I’ve never gotten around to…
