Easy Applique Project

I decided to make my dad a golf towel with an appliqued initial and then on top of that embroider his last name. I thought that I would take some pictures to show how easy it is to do. I have only started sewing over the past 6 months so I had no idea how easy it is to make your own appliques.

Passionate Homemaking

Do you struggle with meal planning and multiple trips to the grocery store? I would love to say that I have this role of wife/mom mastered but unfortunately that is not the case. Rarely do I just make one large shopping trip or plan a weeks worth of meals much less a months. Megan Kreitzberg just shared this link with me today, and just a glance will have you inspired to simplify your grocery shopping and start meal planning.

Organizing and Providing Meals

Do you ever organize meals for a friend who just had a baby or a family in need? Maybe you have been asked to provide a meal for a mom at your table. Leah Casagranda shared a website with me that I think will be helpful to all of us who said "yes" to the previous questions.

Food Tidings

Unfortunately, I didn't hear about this site until after I had sent out an email to a list of women organizing meals for one of my friends who will be having a baby very soon. I can't wait until next time I am in charge of organizing meals for someone in need so that I can use Food Tidings. Leah says "it is very easy to track, plug in the dates, etc. and everyone is easily on the same page."
