Friday night, when I got home from my fantasy football draft, I was looking around on Pinterest and kept seeing these tulle tutus for girls. I checked out some of the links and figured out how to make one. Saturday morning, Morgan and I set out for Hobby Lobby to get the supplies. Thankfully, the tulle rolls were on sale for 50% off. (Whew!) She picked out the colors– pink, blue, green and white. Supposedly, according to her, that is the color of Tinker Bell’s fairy princess dress. I bought a roll of tulle for each color, plus a…

Do you have recipes? Do you have a recipe book or recipe box? Are you recipes just shoved into a binder or drawer or strewn all over your counter? My grandma died when I was 6.

My husband doesn’t read my blog… I’m not even sure he knows what the name of it is. Whenever I started talking about it, his eyes glaze over and you can tell he isn’t paying attention. That’s okay. That means I can tell you this story and he will never know. We took the kids to the aquarium this past weekend. One of the exhibits is a rain forest room with animals and birds.
