Hi! I'm Lauren: college-educated mom to Harper (and soon-to-be Ezra!) who gave up career life to sew, knit, sing nursery rhymes and watch Yo Gabba Gabba a dozen times a day. Most days, I love it. My husband Scott and I live with our kid(s) and two insanely dumb cats in Salt Lake City, Utah. Linkin’ Up

We had an amazing time and learned several lessons: Disposable diapers do not hold in poop as well as cloth ones. With that, our diaper bag should always contain a change of clothing for Harper AND for [...]
Whew. I know I’ve been promising some awesome posts lately, and I do promise that I’ll get back to regular posting soon. I did finish Natalie’s placemats, and although I found MYSELF needing a tutorial on mitered edges, I learned a lot and really like how they turned out. For now, I want to share [...]
Wow, am I tired. Yet, I’m so excited, I can’t go to sleep. We’re 2/3 of the way through our flights to Bangkok, and we only have six hours to go. I can’t wait for tomorrow! I just stepped off our 12-hour flight and am sitting on the floor of the Icheon/Seoul (South Korea) airport. [...]
