It's the end of May, which means it's graduation season! My husband's friend has two daughters graduating this year. One is graduating from high school and the other is graduating from college. Their joint party is this weekend, and I knew I wanted to make their gifts. Once I found…
Can you believe it's May already! There's so many things I would like to get accomplished this month, and one of them is changing up my Berea quilt. I wasn't happy with how my orange peels were coming out, and I definitely don't want to waste my beautiful Liberty fabrics…
I attended my very first Come Out With Pride Orlando event October of 2023. I’d heard of Free Mom Hugs, and of course the event, but wasn't able to volunteer or attend the event before. Finally, I decided it was past time I got out into the world and help…
