Working on our “secret” project! My Mom came out to visit this weekend. I can’t wait to show you what she made for one of the girls, but it will have to wait until a little later this week. This weekend, she came to help with our annual chili day. Normally, we make enough to have several meals in the…
Catching Up Archives
The February 2006 archives are finally up! Courtney and I had the most fun looking back over these posts. It’s amazing the little daily things you forget over time. I’m so glad they’ve been recorded. Maybe tomorrow I’ll get really adventurous and try for March 2006!! *smile* Wishing you a great day… With my love,

Baby Crafting…
Well, it’s no surprise, we’re itching to start some baby projects around here. Paul and I happened to be in Hobby Lobby a few weeks back and I found this cute little hat with iron-on transfer flowers. I couldn’t resist. Here’s the finished project: I love the new transfers they are carrying these days. Really cute!!
Maternity Skirts…
Well, I’ve looked and looked. Almost every site mentioned has had maternity mini-skirts (I’m really not sure why anyone would want to chance wearing one of these considering how out of control clothing can become in those last pregnancy months!), or none at all.
