My friend, Andrea, is forever making things. Remember these? She just finished making a kitchen set for her little girl, and it turned out too cute not to share. If you have some time, motivation, and a few power tools, you can make one for a [...]
Do you use fans in your house? I love them! Not counting the fact that I love them because I do not have air conditioning in this 200 year old house, I love them mainly because the noise is soothing, and the circulating air feels good. What’s better than sleeping with the windows [...]

There is a blog called The Creative Mama, where a bunch of mom’s post about the things going on in their lives. Sometimes they post about recipes, sometimes craft projects, sometimes life lessons.
