First Day of School
I wish this is what I was wearing on the first day of school this year. It isn’t (obviously when you see the price tags). The school that I work at is much more causal than this outfit, but I … Continue reading

Banana Bread
I woke up to “the bananas are ready” and my day was made. I love banana bread, especially with chocolate chips, so to wake up to brown-ish bananas when there were previously yellow bananas was exciting. I use a banana … Continue reading
The Kennedy iPad Sleeve
I had a request to make an iPad 2 sleeve for a good friend’s mom who is also the person who lent her kitchen for the Tots Project of 2011 — that information got deleted in the blog heist but … Continue reading
