Pineapple Guava
This is a plant that I had never seen, and certainly never heard of, until Texas. For that matter, the first time I learned of it was through Ison’s Nursery & Vineyard. My husband had ordered a few Muscadine grapevines from them and we had been happy with the prices and service, so we were looking […]
3 Months of Cloth Diapering
I was going through photos on my desktop and noticed I had this one just sitting there. It’s from the All About Babies & Kids Expo in Houston, held back in July. By this point, I had been cloth diapering only a month, and had been in touch with Sara at Kissaluvs, to get permission to post […]
Sometimes, You read something you really NEEDED to hear…

Meanwhile, here in Texas, we’re finally getting out of the 90s and, by golly, I’m ready to garden! Despite our family being sick, I’ve tried to get […]

When I happened upon this 20 minute ruffle dress tutorial today on Baby Making Machine, I knew that I could turn it into a dress… and […]
