abby - This list is so awesome.
I am shocked that you plan to get tattooed!
And I love #24. And would want to read it.

Brenda - Ok- count me in for at least one of your 5k runs! Maybe a dance class and or cooking class. I have a 750 muffinrecipe cook book that the boys and I are working through. The hope was to make 1 every sat. Sometimes I couldnt afford the extra special ingredients, but slowly but surely, we will do it! I would love to show it to you. Take me on your kid-less trip PLEASE! I’m begging you! Lol. I can show you around some awesome places in New England… Maybe my fav beach in Maine. It is beautiful. I think your list is pretty darn fun!

Kaley - Well, I’ve got a tattoo and read Narnia! And I’ve repurposed a dresser and worn red lipstick (badly) So if this was my list… I’d have four things done. You’re welcome for this worthless comment.

kaley - you should try sewing. it is SO much easier than it looks. kind of. but it’s really fun.

Andrea - You’re probably right, Kaley. After I made this shirt, I made the mistake of putting it in the dryer, so now it’s back to a plain white tee.

I am so impressed with your sewing skills!

Make Your Own Play-Doh Kit

Ooo, gifts. I really enjoy giving gifts…and am discovering how much my enjoyment grows when I get to package it nicely! Jolie got invited to another birthday party recently; her buddy Kai was born two weeks before her and his mom, Danny, and I really bonded through our pregnancies. For his birthday present, I put…

jolie - Absolutely adorable! You could totally sell this on etsy :) I’m pinning it.

sarah ashley - drea love, this is so great! i’m loving the idea of DIY projects– and learning that you can recreate almost anything yourself for less money. it’s amazing what you can do with random materials. good job!

Andrea - Thanks, guys! Seriously, I feel super complimented by you both!

Build-A-Fort Kit + a special birthday

I remember the night Hayden was born: I was in college and when I heard the news, jumped in the car with Emily to make the 2 hour drive to the hospital where Renata was in labor. A couple weeks ago, Hayden turned 5. 5! Cue the I-am-old-enough-to-have-a-friend-who-has-a-five-year-old freak out. When I saw this “Built…

Melissa - Such a cute idea!! And the pic of Tom and Jolie is ADORABLE.

Emily - Cuuuuute. I remember that night. Someone asked if I wanted to hold Hayden and I just remember thinking “No thanks, I don’t want to break my friends new baby.”
