The dress I almost gave up on. . . You guys!! I almost gave up on making this dress. It seemed that all that could go wrong did. First, I stitched the bodice together on the wrong side of the fabric, and then while pressing, I mistakenly burned the fabric because the setting on the iron was too high. Thank goodness for my perseverance, because after I walked away from it and came back the next day, I decided to sew a view A instead of view C, and used the extra fabric I would’ve needed for view C to cut a new bodice. I am really glad that did not toss the dress, because I really love it. The pink linen was a perfect match for this pattern. (Swipe to the last photo to see what went wrong). . . Pattern: @mccallpatterncompany #m7998 Fabric: This lady at my church gave me a box full of fabric a few years ago, and this linen gem was in there. I’m still going through that box. . . #sewingvictory #imadethisdress #prettyinpink🎀 #dressmaker #mccallspatterns #fashiondiys

“So it’s not gonna be easy. It’s going to be really hard; we’re gonna have to work at this everyday, but I want to do that because I want you. I want all of you, forever, everyday. You and me… everyday.” -Noah to Alley (The Notebook) . . Happy anniversary to an amazing man of God, husband, father, and support system. @csj82 I love you more than words, and I can honestly say that I am the best me because of your love and your commitment. The kids and I are so very blessed that God chose you for us. I am looking forward to many more years of growth in our relationship with God, each other, and our children. . .

“Life is but a fleeting moment, so do not waste a second on something that doesn’t make you smile.” . . This weekend, thanks to the bestest friend/auntie to my kids in the whole world, my husband and I were able to do something we have rarely done in our 11 years of marriage. We spent more than a few hours alone together. We actually spent the weekend just reconnecting. I got the butterflies all over again. We talked, laughed, watched movies, went out to eat, and just enjoyed the quiet. For that moment, I experienced the love, joy, and happiness that made me fall in love with him the first time and say “I do.” . . Having kids and trying to be the best parents we can, has left little time for us. Especially since we don’t have family close by to help us. We often have to get creative on how we do date night, especially since babysitting can be quite expensive, not to mention the added cost of entertainment and food. One thing we do is feed the kids early, prepare snacks for them, set them up nicely with things to do, (since they’re older now, we remind them that for one hour they can’t interrupt mommy and daddy time unless someone is bleeding) and have dinner on the patio, and pretend we are out at a nice restaurant. We want them to understand that we love them, but we need our time as well. ⠀⠀ As parents, what are some creative date night ideas that you’ve come up with? Comment below and let’s talk.
