Books of the Bible Flash Cards
It has been over a year since I showed my face in this space! So many things have changed in that time. The majority of my time used to be spent blogging sewing creations, but now my world is a more even balance of sewing, mom-ing, hobby farm life, and homeschooling! We aren’t doing much at all for homeschool this summer because truthfully I got too burned out and needed a longer break (We’re trying 6 weeks on, 1 week off next year to hopefully prevent some of that burnout). But my kids also do so much better when they’re on a consistent routine, so we’re still having Morning Time…

Our 2017-2018 Homeschool Curriculum | Review and Next Year’s Plans

Sweater Weather
We’ve had a much colder than normal winter here in SC and between the cold weather and what feels like never ending sickness (that’s life with littles for you), I just want to wear all.the.sweaters. Made for Mermaids to the rescue! The newest additions to the Lounge and Lace Collection – Mama Stella, Stella, and Dolly Stella – are the perfect solution. I’ve already made 3, and I anticipate I’ll be making even more through the rest of winter and spring. When a new pattern is in testing, I tend to make a ton of versions for my girls, and only one or two for myself. But this time, I…
