dresses, bangs and recipes

The other day my Mom and I were looking at dresses for the girls, and there were sooo many cute styles and patterns. But they really were all about $45.00 each. When you have to double that, it sure adds up quickly. SO my Mom had this great idea to make some for the girls. So we went to Fabland and bought a cute pattern and some sweet gingham fabric for a trial run. They have turned out soooo cute! I'm going to take pictures of them in them before church tomorrow, so I'll be sure to post the finished product.







It was so sweet watching my Mom with the girls. It reminded me of being little and how she used to have so much patience with me, and let me help her with everything, even though I would have been slowing her down. It really helped me realize that I need to slow down during the day and include the girls in more things that I do around the house.





I got some new bangs the other day. I haven't had bangs forever. I was going to go all the way and have blunt bangs all the way across, but I chickened out! I'll do it later in the Spring!
