Today I'm excited to share a really fun tutorial for a faux fur coat! Usually fur is a little too over-the-top for me, and I planned to make a vest with this fur, but in the end I just couldn't get a coat out of my head.

I remember so vividly the first night in the hospital after San was born. I'd spent the entire day on a huge hormonal high from just delivering my third sweet baby boy, and feeling so relieved and blessed that everything went smoothly. Then that night I sent him off to the hospital nursery so I could get a few hours of sleep, and suddenly the quiet and empty hospital room sent me into a complete panic.

Today I wanted to share a easy trick that I've been using for years to help save money during the holidays, and actually all year round...

I love dressing my boys up extra fancy for Christmas Sunday or Christmas events, so having a few good dressy pieces in their closet is important to me...
