Thank you! -E Thank you!! Kristen, I have a sewing question. I was planning to cut a patch from a ripped pair of no longer worn jeans and then hand sew it from the inside out. I don’t know how to use a sewing machine so hand sewing it is. Hi Kristen! Do you bake it first? Pre-slice it? Your thoughts?

Luckily, my little is starting to enjoy some of these activities – like picking the peaches from our tree, grocery shopping, baking/cooking, and gardening and I love spending time with her doing these activities too! It’s food that we have that I’ve cooked or otherwise acquired ? Thank you for the recommendation.

My mom cut coupons and sewed her own clothes and mine, as well. The fact that neither one of us likes to cook and neither one of us is particularly good at it might have had something to do with it, too. I enjoy good food even though I don’t like to cook it – maybe especially because I don’t like to cook it.

We give the gift of a home-cooked meal to my grandparents. Are you a knitter, crafter or do you know how to use a sewing machine? Fortunately, my parents live nearby and my mom doesn’t charge us (whew–thanks, mom), but we have close friends who don’t have family nearby and would LOVE a gift of free babysitting.
