Last week was crazy. School fundraisers and dentist appointments that involved hours in the chair to have a 30+ year old filling ground down so I could be fitted for a crown (and that I'd completely forgotten was an appointment that would last most of the day) and title transferring for the inlaws new car and such meant I didn't keep up with a … [Read more...]

If I Don’t Know What to Do With It . . .
Look at this cute, odd velvet bow-type-thingy. My daughter and I worked in her room on Monday while the kids were out of school for President’s Day. When I ran across the bow, I knew I recognized it.

What to Do with Old Prom Dresses
