Hi Everyone! As we enter fall, I was going through my 18 month old’s clothes to see what she has for the next season here in Sicily. My parents will be arriving next month for a visit (can’t wait!) and will be bringing Rebecca a luggage full of clothes (the beauty of being grandparents!) So[…]
Hi Everyone! Well, this is another post on baby sleep sacks since our 7 month old continues to kick restlessly! I had to go for a version that she can ctually wear because my other pull off version wasn’t cutting it. Rebecca moves and kicks around so much she can produce energy! So thinking as[…]
Hi Everyone! Well, I must confess….I wash too many dishes. No, really, I wash way too many dishes. You know what that means? It means I DRY too many dishes! I am one of those people that grab a new “anything” (knife, spoon, bowl, etc….) when cooking. Unlike my mom who can cook an entire[…]
Hi Everyone =) Ahhh. Another sewing trick….makes our sewing lives easier, doesn’t it? Today I want to show you how I hemmed my pyjamas. Ask me why I had to hem them? No, they were not too tall when my mom bought them for me when she came over to Sicily from California. Actually[…]

As you know, I’m up-cycling all of Rebecca’s baby clothing for as long and as far as I can =P So how about adding some puff sleeves to a[…]
Hi all =) Well, as for my up-cycling, re-purposing, revamping, baby clothes go, I discovered a cute trick I wanted to share with you! I took one of Rebecca’s outgrown skirts (too tight around the waist…at 4 months olds, my muchkin eats!) and took out the elastic. I then made a 1\2 inch seam and[…]
Hi Everyone! As many of you know, I am on a roll when it comes to re-purposing Rebecca’s outgrown clothes. So I wanted to share a clever trick with you. My 4 month old is a big drooler. She loves to smile and as a result, drools all over her shirt. So rather than keep[…]
