Ok! So last year I saw this on some blogs and I wanted to participate, but it was too late. But thankfully I saw Amanda mention the Kids Clothes Week Challenge on her blog this year, just in nick of time! Here’s how the challenge works! 1. You leave a comment on Elsie Marley’s blog …
Of all of the bazillion treats I made for Gigi’s pony party, I’d say the homemade pony gumdrops got the biggest, “WOW!” And the thing is, they were probably one of the easiest treats to make!

I’ll be sharing examples from Gigi’s Pony Party, which was fabulous and happened last Saturday. I plan on sharing some more pictures from her party, as well as downloads and recipes, …

Well what can I say, it pays to be friends with insanely talented people. Right?! A few weeks ago my friend Heather Zweig was in town to shoot our photos for #ourtopsecretproject. She used to live next door to me, and I curse the day she moved so often! Anyway, what kind of friend would …
