DIY Cake Stands
Tweet I have a slight obsession with cake stands. I love their elegant look. I love the height they create in a table-scape. So naturally when I came across do it yourself instructions to make cake stands out of candle sticks and plates, I rushed out to snatch up supplies! Bonus? This might be one [...]
How Does Your Garden Grow?
Tweet There is something incredibly therapeutic about digging, sowing, planting, watering and fertilizing. Getting your hands dirty, the scent of wet earth and the satisfaction that your hard work has paid off in the form of green plants, beautiful flowers and healthy fruits. Now that my daughter is old enough to wield a trow of her own, we have [...]
Valentine’s Dinner In
Tweet I don’t know about you, but just thinking about the work that goes into going out for dinner on Valentine’s Day exhausts me. Finding a sitter, finding a reservation, finding something to wear, finding the kiddo’s favorite jammies, finding a time when my husband can get home early enough for dinner but late enough [...]
When The Bubble Gets Busted: Local Church Volunteer Suspected of Child Molestation
Tweet You don’t need me to tell you that being a parent is tough stuff. From the moment we learn of our child’s conception (quite possibly for years prior to that) we navigate the chlorine-free, all-natural, no added chemicals, Montessori, teach-your-child-to-read methodology with expert prowess. We own our convictions and are eager to share what [...]

Every nook and cranny of her house was gorgeous and cleverly and meticulously neat. Obviously Oprah has a few (read: many) [...]
DIY Holiday Wrapping Paper
Tweet Cripes wrapping paper is expensive! And the cheap stuff rips and tears. Let’s be honest, how a gift is wrapped, matters. When I receive a present where the wrapping is as good as the gift inside, it makes it even more special. So how do you get quality wrap at a great price? You do it [...]
A Very Crafty Thanksgiving
Tweet With Thanksgiving literally around the corner, what better way to keep the kiddos busy than with some quality time and crafts. Especially crafts that make your home and table feel festive! The Thankful Turkey I love this little guy. While I was making him, I thought of a ton of variations for how, what, [...]
iLove my iPhone (and here’s why)
Tweet A few of my friends – including our own SMB co-founder Joy - are finally getting around to buying an iPhone and have asked for recommendations on which apps are ‘must-haves’ for mamas. The things about iPhone apps, though, is that there are SO many (name a need/want/desire/hobby and I assure you, there’s an app for that) and finding [...]
DIY Chair Cushion Reupholstering – Big Bang for a Little Buck
Tweet This is a great project to give your existing furniture an inexpensive update – or give a new piece your own style! Our kitchen bar stools get a lot of use and therefore quite dirty. My daughter Baylor’s highchair used to connect to one and now she seats herself at “her” stool for each meal – [...]
