Apostrophy

I normally don’t love cloth purses but these are really something. And hand-made purses are usually so overpriced in my opinion and these are not! I double bonus. Oh and by the way, she is from Utah! Triple bonus.

They are from the Etsy shop Apostrophy.

Pink Flower Pleated Purse $20.00

So Sorry

Blog-o-sphere,
I am so sorry for my lack of posts. With a wedding last Saturday, one today and girls camp this week (that I’m in charge of), I’ve barely had time to eat, let alone blog.

If only I could blog from the wilderness. Hmmpf.

I promise to be a better blogger when I return!

But for now…

Yum.

Little Matisse



Check out the children’s art project I posted about yesterday on Cookie (including instructions). It’s fingerpainting multiplied by cool.


I LOVE this art idea from Design Mom. I can’t wait to do one with Cohen. So simple and so artsy. I love them!

Fun.

This is seriously the cutest idea I’ve seen for a wedding. They had a bubble table! So fun to do at any party really? And so fun to make giant bubbles and watch them float into the sky. I must steal this idea for my next wedding!

Baby Powder Magic

We had a great time in Southern California. I just love it out there. And I miss it so much, but it’s good to be home. We did the zoo, the beach, the shops, the eats.


I learned THE BEST tip from a friend of a friend out there…

Next time you go to the beach, bring baby powder. You put it on after you are done at the beach, the powder absorbs the moisture on your skin and all the sand rubs RIGHT OFF. It’s amazing! We were practically sand-free by the time we got in our cars. It’s pur genius. I can’t believe I just discovered it!
