Classmate gifts
Thanks to an idea I found on Pinterest (please, go right now and sign up–I’ll wait), I am spending the afternoon making “Reindeer Noses” for Ava’s classmates.

As days go by
This weekend has been filled with downtime, a sharp contrast to the weeks preceding it. Between a crazy work schedule and trips to Las Vegas and Madison, the last half of the month has been hectic at best. So, while we collectively catch up on sleep (and catch up with each other), we are looking [...]
