As a die-hard coffee drinker, sometimes I don't get quite enough of the other kinds of healthier liquids into my system. To remedy that, I've been making smoothies lately. I toss in whatever I have on hand - for this particular one, I used strawberries, frozen peaches, frozen blueberries, a banana, and a generous splash of coconut milk.

I ... Read more

I'm dreaming of exotic adventures - I haven't traveled outside of the country in years and haven't had anything resembling an adventure in ... Read more
KCW Guest Post!
Hooray, here's my exciting news: today, I'm guest posting over at the KCW blog! I'm over the moon about this, especially because participating in the KCW challenge last fall was truly eye-opening and amazing. It was my first time and the community was so instantaneously welcoming and enthusiastic, and it was incredibly validating to know that other people are as crazy about handmade kids clothes as I am! I had a fabulous time and can't wait to join again this year. Today I'm prattling on ... Read more
