Happy Birthday, Andy!

It’s my little brother’s birthday today. He’s not the type to mind if I don’t send himĀ  a card, which is good because I didn’t make him one. Instead, I’m going to share my favorite picture of him with my little munchkin. Are you MELTING? I mean, seriously. Allie has four uncles, but Andy is bound and determined to be …

A Little of Everything…

All you need are strips of fabric and batting 2.5 inches wide. Then you fold them into quarters and sew down the middle to form long fabric ropes. Once you …

Beach Baby {Layout}

I feel like I need to apologize in advance for the inevitable earworm this post is going to cause. Ever since I thought up this layout (like 3 weeks ago) I’ve been randomly busting out with “LONG HOT DAYS (do do do do do do) COOL SEA HAZE (do do do do do do) JUKE BOX PLAYS but now it’s …
