Refashion anyone?

Posted on by

Our budget is in need of help – serious help!  But I would also like some new clothes…bummer.

Ever heard of refashioning?  I hadn’t until I did some searches on pinterest and found out that lots of people take old clothes (their own or thrift store ones) and “refashion” them into something different and fun to wear.  Do a search and check out some of the clothes.  Yes, some are weird, but some are super cute!

Beyond budget constraints, I also am long-waisted and, depending on current trends, finding shirts long enough can be challenging.  This is a great way to custom make custom clothing without spend much – can’t wait to give it a try!

Have you ever tried it?  How did things turn out?  Love to hear your experiences…

Gluten-free Sourdough Starter & Kefir

Yesterday, I order some fun new goodies to try.  First I found gluten-free sourdough starter and then I ordered a combo pack of both milk and water kefir (dairy-free option yeah!).  Anyone else have experience with any of these things?  I’m a newbie to them, so I could use advice!  Can’t wait for them to come in the mail…  I’ll be posting my adventures!

Below is a link to the fun etsy shop I bought them at:

Check them out – cute shop…and no, I’m not getting paid to tell you that! 🙂

It’s time

After a one year unintentional hiatus, it’s time to write again.  I was thinking about writing again and checked the last installment – a year ago today!  I will take that as a sign :).

In the last year we have moved across the country, moved again to different county, finished one year of grad school (my husband), and had a baby!

Reestablishing ourselves in a new place, with another child, has invigorated me to do more of what I love.  Get closer to God, nature and the simple things in life.
