Will You Be My Bridesmaid?

January 29, 2012 by Crafty Teacher Lady +

My best friend from college is getting married!!  I met Victoria on my very first day at UMaine back in September of 1999.  Our dorm rooms were three doors away from one another and the RA arranged a 'get to know you' dinner in the commons to meet the other girls on our floor.  That's where we met... Twelve and a half years later, through career changes, moves, and

Well Isn’t That Clever!

January 27, 2012 by Crafty Teacher Lady +

I'm totally and utterly obsessed with Pinterest as I am totally and utterly impressed by what other people come up with!  You know, those ideas where you think 'why didn't I think of that?'.  One of my boards is entitled "Well Isn't That Clever" and is a place to pin really awesome, useful ideas!  Like... Using toilet paper rolls to keep wrapping paper from unrolling!

What I Wore Wednesday

January 25, 2012 by Crafty Teacher Lady +

Linking up to The Pleated Poppy for What I Wore Wednesday! I have one outfit for you this week (bravo, me!) because I took a picture with natural light on Sunday before heading to my cousin's basketball game! While the lighting in this photo is good, my face makes me look like I'm in pain (or have narcolepsy)! Ha! I'm big into the pink & gray color combination, very pretty for

Absolutely gorgeous afternoon making memories with Absolutely gorgeous afternoon making memories with my sweet girl! We picked the best berries, then went home where my little sous chef practiced her fine motor skills by cutting the strawberries for homemade shortcake- my all time favorite dessert (and quickly becoming C’s favorite, too)! 🍓 

The last couple of months have been super challenging regarding some unexpected health challenges for me, resulting in an emergency surgery 4.5 weeks ago, and getting back to feeling good enough to go on outings like today was at the top of my priority-list! I felt good and had a wonderful time with my best little bud!! 🥰

Also shout out to @browdersfreshpickins for allowing us to pick all along the outside rows so that C could easily use her walker in the field!
Happy Easter from our (reluctant) Bunny Stanley 🐶 and our happy little Reese’s-loving gal!! 🥰
It’s always such a wonderful start to the weeken It’s always such a wonderful start to the weekend when a visit to @cafe_davina is on the agenda!! If you haven’t been, this adorable coffee house and crêperie is located within the beautiful grounds of the @thepinnerhouse, a boutique inn with cozy rooms and cottages! Both are a must visit in downtown Suffolk, VA!

And just like that, she’s 4!! ❤️🥰🍓❤️🥰❤️

We had a small family party while in Maine and I had so much fun putting together all the details! My favorite part of the decor was making the cake toppers to put onto a plain white bakery cake (I also added some fresh strawberries). I printed some strawberries and flowers on card stock and glued them to wood skewers. I made the pennant flags and bunting out of fabric from Joannes and used the same gingham for the table runners. It brings me so much joy to put together a little birthday party for my sweet little girl! Watching her grow and seeing her personality blossom is the greatest privilege of my life…she’s the best thing to ever happen to me! 

And on that note, Happy Birthday, C, and Happy New Year to all of you!
