There are moments that I wish I could freeze time. Watching Harper, my six year old, skip down a trail in Lake Tahoe this weekend was one of those moments. It was pure joy she was experiencing. To watch her scramble over rocks with newfound agility, coordination and growing confidence was pure joy for her…
We are loving the ease of iron-on transfer paper to create our very own fashions. I have to admit that I really enjoy the simplicity of this project and the end result.

There are so many cute swaddle blankets on the market now – but I wanted to try and make some myself for a fraction…
I don’t know about you, but I am always thinking of something new and handmade for my girl on Valentine’s Day. I had a stash of felt and came up with a hand stitched heart ponytail holder. You can really make them in any shape you want. I made three ponytail holders in forty five…

Reading is so important in every child’s development. It is such an amazing way for parents to connect and bond with their babies. Some of my fondest memories with Harper as a baby is rocking in the chair and reading to her all snuggled together. I still remember how it felt to see Harper react…
