easter-ish, including a family gathering, indoors!

Posted on April 5, 2021May 14, 2021by sarah

And now, for this year’s Easter festivities and shenanigans. First off. Anna and I signed up for a natural dyeing workshop at the Village Fabric Shop.

We were still all living under quarantine. Good times, really. Let’s see. There was a Buffalo Bills-less Super Bowl. We watched. Ate wings. Ho hum. […]

the leftovers of January ’21.

Posted on February 1, 2021May 13, 2021by sarah

Well. If you’ve followed along, you’ll know that January was a bananas month in our little fam. My return to teaching didn’t leave much time for anything else. Aside from a weekend hike and Isaac’s birthday, my month was mostly a whirlwind of lesson planning, mental breakdowns, sitting in front of a screen for 15 […]

christmas cookie extravaganza!

Posted on December 22, 2020May 13, 2021by sarah

much the same as my stress making of pies for thanksgiving, i attempted to bring all the holiday joy by baking a million cookies. i kicked things off with some old favorites from over the years, plus some hits from last year. i made up the cut out sugar cookie dough (regular AND gluten free!) […]

october 2020 happenings around home.

Posted on November 1, 2020May 13, 2021by sarah

initially, our travel plans for october took up the entire month, so we weren’t planning on much halloween decorating. but we came home a week early, so the obvious choice was to go all out decorating for halloween and/or fall. the girls and i went to a little farm stand in lewisville (rogers nursery) where […]

Posted on October 1, 2020December 29, 2020by sarah

after dance class last week, anna told me that her teacher was planning to bring cupcakes for the class, in celebration of her own birthday. i knew i couldn’t let that happen, and volunteered to make cupcakes to send with anna. no one should have to make/buy their own cupcakes. anna picked out the decorating […]
