i love purple
Chloe has a new favorite color–purple. With every new favorite color comes a new need for everything to be that color. We don’t actually change the color of everything, but from here on out (until it changes again) all of her color choices are purple. And if for some reason she does not choose purple, […]

In the Works!
I think most of us are usually in the middle of a dozen projects and things, just waiting for the right moment for completion. I am such a person. At this very moment, I am working on two Sunday School crafts. We are learning about David and Goliath. Tomorrow my kiddos will be throwing water […]
Back to Order
My sewing machine has been whirring up a storm lately! We have been getting gifts ready for cousins’ birthdays and my sweet Willow has found something that she absolutely loves! She has been joining me every day at the sewing machine.
Pillow Monsters
In our family we are blessed with a lot of little ones, which means we have lots of nieces and nephews. Nieces and nephews who have birthdays coming up! I’d been trying to think of something to make for them, when I came up with pillow monsters! I’ve been designing these little cutie pies in my mind for […]
Personalized Heart Banners for Valentines Day

For example, for Thanksgiving last year I saw a turkey that you could hang. It could be personalized with your child’s name and doubled as a pocket […]
A Day in the Life of the Ferguson Family
Each morning begins the same. I awake to a child “whispering” in my ear or to the wakeful sounds of a hungry Laelia. There are usually four people in our queen sized bed, but sometimes a fifth person sneaks in there too. Although it’s cramped and sometimes there is a complaint or two about who […]
Miscellaneous Matters
This week we had a bunch of different things happening. The girls are still getting over their cold. I had it for a few days, but mine came and went faster than theirs did, which of course I wish was the other way around. Poor little ladies. I rarely take my kids to the doctor. […]
Treasure Hunt
It’s almost time!!! Only a few days left…. In our house there is not much else that we are talking about right now. Just Christmas. I can hardly say, “just.” Christmas is so much fun! We have been working on all our gifts and are just about finished.
Going Green for Christmas
If there’s one thing that I don’t really like it’s waste. I recycle, compost, and try to make our family as waste free as possible. Christmas mornings are full of wonderful excitement and gift opening and togetherness, but also…waste. This year I had planned to make all of the gift wrap for our gifts that […]
