Aww, I love those special moments when my kids are acting sweet to each other. I have to remind myself of those moments when they're beating the crap out of each other, LOL!

Okay, I won't have to ask you if Spenser wears clothes, because you posted one of her in jammies! Cute, cute.
I'm wanting to check out that MS Magazine now - although I'm not a big fan of glueing fabric either.
The pictures of the older ones caring for the younger ones are precious. Remember those times when things are crazy!

I keep saying this, but you have *such* a great family. It makes me smile.
I promised myself that, when I bought a box of Swiffer WetJet refills at the wholesale club, it would be the last box I bought. Something had to be done. Now, to be honest, part of the reason was to help the environment, but the other part was because I was tired of running out of those darn things. I took some towels, folded them in half cut them into 5" widths. (The towel was just about 25" or so from side to side when flat.) Then I cut two 5" pieces of elastic and serged it all together. Two layers of toweling and two elastic strips. That's it. (The finished piece was approximately 4.75" x 12.") Within minutes I had a stack of eight. Slide them on and mop away. You will have a clean floor and have saved one more thing from ending up in the landfill. Now, if I can just do something about the cleaning liquid ... Something environmentally-friendly, economical, and won't cause further pain to my arthritic back.

Before ... a $10 thrifted chair ... After ... 1 1/2 cans of spray paint and a little cotton batting and fabric and a staple gun later ... I used Alexander Henry's Sunny Side fabric for the seat. I love the contrast of the red, black and white. Can you say oh yeah ??
