Teachers need hugs sometimes. And chocolate kisses. Remind the special teachers (or anyone else) in your life of God’s love and yours too. Print out these pretty cards and attach to a mouth-watering chocolate, sure to make a teacher’s lips curl. I made these sweet treat tags to gift to the teachers at…
How to Repurpose Gift Bags
If you’re anything like me (which I’m guessing you must be, or you wouldn’t be visiting), you have a closetful few gift bags hanging out in your digs, taking up space and waiting for use. It seems like a tragic waste of “pretty” to toss a brightly printed and festively designed gift bag. After…
Pretty Ponytails
A friend of mine recently chopped off her lush, curly locks (oh-so-envied by me) days before having her son. “What is she thinking? “ I wondered, as I twirled long tendrils round and round my fingers. Fast forward five months from the births of our babies. I get it. My girl pulls hair. Hard. I…
P.S. Write back soon!
My best friends live some thousands of miles away. Too many miles to count, in fact. It’s always great to hear from them, especially via snail mail. My eyes *glisten* when I receive parcels stamped with Helvetia, USA and India. Thanks girls!! Rrrrriiip! I’m not a “well-refined” handle-with-care kind of girl. Take the time this…

Via Red heels can be as classy as can be. I believe that every woman should have and wear a sassy little pair of red heels. Not only will the color pop make you smile when you peek into the closet, but when you slip them on you’ll want to dance a little. They make…
Etsy Love: My Sunshine Designs Giveaway

Those blessed enough not to know a tee-shirt leak spot, please disregard this post entirely. Washable, reusable nursing pads are great, as they are eco-friendly, usually made of soft natural fibers, and easy…
Wear it: The White Button-Down
Everyone has this classy, basic piece in their wardrobe, but if you’re anything like me, it rarely sees sunshine. Since we’re moving soon, and I’m purging all clothing that I cannot justify a reason to keep, I began searching out ways to get more wear out of this basic white button-down top. Here’s today’s outfit,…
Fresh-Smelling Suitcases
Tip of the Week: Add a dryer sheet to your storage boxes and suitcases to keep bugs out and the suitcase smelling fresh (unscented also does the trick!). If you have the type of suitcase with a netted inner pocket, place the dryer sheet inside the pocket so that it does not come in contact…
Armor All to the Resc-Shoe!
Who would’ve guessed that the easiest shoe polish & protectant lives in the garage with car wax? I began using Armor All to spiff up my heels a few years ago when I found that I couldn’t bring myself to pay for shoe polish that I’d only use once or twice a year. The perks:…
