So you think you can sew...

When I was asked if I had any interest in covering a story on the Sewcial Lounge, I couldn't have said "yes" fast enough. In fact, I already had it written down as one of my possible pitch ideas!

I love anything to do with sewing and fabric, so I was enamored the moment I entered the store. Check out the article in this week's Isthmus. And if you enjoy sewing or want to try your hand at it, check out a class at the Sewcial Lounge. Also, stay tuned for a future post or two that involve some simple sewing projects.

Most of the projects featured in-house were completed by the owner, Sara Myers, so she can expertly answer any questions you have.

Easy Parfaits

Having just written a post about how to make your morning routine run more smoothly, I thought this would be the perfect time to introduce a (first!) recipe to the blog. These simple parfaits can be made ahead of time and are really delicious and good for you! All you have to do is pull one out of the refrigerator for a quick, healthy breakfast!

Thankful Parenting

I know it's cliché, but this is a great time of year to step back and consciously sum up what you are thankful for. Everyone has something, regardless of your situation. You just have to find it.

Thankfulness is also an important lesson to instill in your children, as it is not a skill that comes naturally. In fact, we know that young children are naturally egocentric until about age seven, which is about as far off from thankfulness as you can get.
