Starbucks + Girlfriend = Starbucks Cup Flowers

Starbucks + Girlfriend = Starbucks Cup Flowers

I admit I rarely go to Starbucks, I love Starbucks but I rarely treat myself to Starbucks.  One of my dearest friends Michelle told me she was taken me out for coffee Sunday.  It was wonderful we talked about life (husbands and kids), blogging and self promotion.  Michelle is a writer and understands the need … Continue reading →

Homemade Play Dough

The last time I made this was three years ago.  My daughter was two and we had only been in our house about a month.  I had the day off from work and I wanted to do something fun so we made play dough.  She also tried to eat it, it didn’t taste very good … Continue reading →

Pyrography (AKA: Wood Burning)

Felt Play Tent – Work In Progress
