This Big Boy is helping with his very own bed quilt! My heart does little jumping jacks when he sits down at the machine. #lifewithboys #quilting #sewing

When a Big Boy is into rocks and minerals, you make #geode #cupcakes for his #birthday!

Done! First #quilt completed in a long, long time. It’s also the first large quilt that I’ve quilted on my domestic #sewing machine. It took longer than it would have on a #longarm, but I ❤️ the results! Those are half inch-spaced quilting lines. I tried my hand at a faux piped binding and made the outer binding layer scrappy. I’m hooked on this method for machine applied binding. It went on really well. (The colors don’t match the decor in the pictured room well, but they will look gorgeous in our home.)

Homemade Black Forest cake for a Bitty Birthday Party. SuperHusband baked and I decorated. #cakedecorating #birthdaycake

When the #boy wants to be a #squid, you make him a squid. #halloween

There’s a whole mess of #tentacles in my house. #frolic #halloween #lifewithboys

That's right: We used nature as our classroom this week. It's a tough job, but... ✌🏻#saltlife #socal #airforce #fighton

"After" ... His response: "Whooooooa."

I have NO IDEA how this child could see anything through these glasses. (I can hear my mother's voice, circa 1984, saying exactly the same thing.) #lifewithboys #icanseeclearlynow #foureyes 🤓

So my "days left to make a difference" clock just fell below 700. Yikes - better to get going! #impact #carpediem #usaf

Need to keep your kids busy for hours? Two words: Russian submarine. #maritimemuseum #sandiego

Can I get a mini cannon mounted to the 🚗 so I can use it in combat (a.k.a. LA traffic)? #sandiego #maritimemuseum

Pure heaven. I could spend all day out here. #sandiego #pointloma @cabrillonps
