A couple of weeks ago I found a book on http://www.diaperswappers.com/ that I have been wanting for a long time. It is called "The Creative Family" by Amanda Blake Soule. She is the great mama mind behind another of my favorite blogs http://www.soulemama.com/. Check it out, you won't be sorry!
This book is full of so many great ideas to nuture and expand the imaginations of your family. Mr. Miller and I have loved some of the ideas that she shares. One of which was a simple pattern for a child's pair of pants. I used the idea to help with making my wool soakers. I made these cute woolies. Way too easy! Unfortunatley these are to small for Junior Mint so I will be putting them in the pile for my Hyenacart to be up and running soon!
In the time that I have been blessed to be at home since my unfortunate unemployment I have discovered so many things about me. I have also rediscovered some hidden talents and passions that we all seem to put aside for one reason or another in our lives. I am truly grateful for this time that I am getting in my life right now!
Hi Maeghan! I was really inspired by the article in the paper and your blog...I moved here a little over a year ago for my past position as an Event Manager in the Hotel Industry and was laid off. I am a single mom and it has afforded me with time to spend with my 2 year old Skye. Unplanned of course. But, I found a really good school that I love and just alot of back to the basics type of life changes..I am going to try some of your recipies. Love the summer pie...
ReplyDeleteThanks Ivy! I am really honored to have touched your life in such a way. Isn't funny how when one door closes another opens. I am planning to be posting recipes on a weekly basis on Wednesdays. Take care and good luck, thanks for the support. Remember to cherish every moment with Skye!
