Guest Post Today!

Kristen, a high school friend of mine, has a great recipe blog called "Confessions of a Not-So Domesticated Newlywed". I'm guest posting over there today!

I could probably pull up some pictures of us as far back as second grade, but I really don't think either of us want those floating around blog land (I'm pretty sure we both had some awful '80s bangs). 

 

Here we are at our high school reunion a few months back. 

See you back here next week. Thanks for reading my blog.

I have 3 young boys so I know exactly how you feel! I love online fabric shopping, although my husband wishes I didn't ;>) I'd probably buy a lot less if I was in a store having to also keep track of the boys! She has so many great fabrics in her shop; loving Ellie Farm among many others! Thanks for chance to win! Rhonda (marshudson at comcast dot net)

I will email you to get your contact information!

Last Day to Enter Fabric Giveaway

Just wanted to remind you all to enter the fabric giveaway from Sew Fine Fabric! 

We're picking a winner tomorrow!

Homemade Salsa

Last week, the weather was superb for grilling out. This week, not so much. 

One night when we were going to grill, I wasn’t sure what we could have as a vegetable accompaniment for our chicken. We have a bunch of grape tomatoes that were past their prime, so I made them into salsa! I used my Vitamix blender, but you could make this recipe in any blender, I’m sure. (Just don’t over mix! You’ll end up with baby food consistency salsa!)

Vintage Skirt

I’m not usually one to show off what I’m wearing. That’s because it usually isn’t anything very interesting or unique. However, this skirt was my grandmother’s. After she passed away three years ago, I wanted to have this skirt (plus three others that are the same wrap-style). I have no idea where or when she got it, but I wore it to church last week for the first time ever. I got several compliments about it, so I thought I’d share it on here for all those readers who may be into vintage fashions (it is probably from the 1970’s).
