New year, new brows

Our eyebrows got a makeover today. I used a new dye and tinted Mama’s brows and my own a nice brown. Though the product I used on us previously claimed to be light brown, it always seemed to turn out much too dark on our pale skin. I was really pleased with the new coloring.…

Big hugs from tiny arms

Mama and I were thrilled to have a hug-filled visit from some of our family today. In the years since we’d seen these beautiful girls, they’ve gotten so much taller and even sweeter! We loved spending the afternoon with them and their wonderful mom, Laura! Paisley was ecstatic to have more people to love! Today’s #OneGoodThing was loads of…

My cutting machine hero

I ran out of my custom planner stickers, which help keep me organized, so I decided to try using my Cricut cutting machine to achieve a precise size and cut on the next batch. Unfortunately, I had error after error, and none of my sheets of stickers turned out well. After struggling for too long…

A cookie kind of afternoon

I made Confetti Cookies with colorful sprinkles and Caramel Chocolate Chip Cookies this afternoon. The sprinkle-laden treats are a SmittenKitchen recipe I’ve made before, but adding Caramel chips to my Chocolate Chip Cookies was a new twist. All of the cookies were delicious! Now I’m eager to share the baked goodness! Today’s #OneGoodThing was a cookie kind…
