Sniff Sniff…

My little boy is growing up!! He sat at the dinner table tonight…and ate his WHOLE supper…and didn’t dump it on the table (that’s something we’ve been working on…) He looks like SUCH a little man…pretty soon we’ll be taking him off to college…(don’t mind Jason’s expression…I caught him mid-swallow I think!)

Everyone needs one of these…

If you use a lot of ribbon, you understand that it sometimes gets wrinkly! Well, in my grand prize from the Savvy N Sassy Christmas Crop last month, one of the tools was a ribbon iron. I tried it out tonight…and I LOVE IT! EVERYONE needs one! AND I have some incentive for you…if you [...]
