It’s the time of year again to start thinking about costumes, especially since I am planning on making some this time.

This is what I posted on this day last year: The morning of September 11, 2001 started out as no different than any other morning. Big A was a toddler, and I was pregnant with Big S. Luke was at school, and we were at home, not doing much. Luke calls me on the phone, [...]
My sister-in-law has the cutest foot stool in her bathroom. When I wanted one like it, we found out that this item had been discontinued. I figure I’ll keep an eye out for something like it at festivals and street fairs. Will you do the same? Thanks a bunch.
