Whether you like it or not, the 90's are back! I, for one, am absolutely living for 90's fashion trends. Mom jeans? Bring it on. Scrunchies? Can't get enough. Chunky white sneakers? OH HELL YES.

I have a constant craving that can only be satisfied by RAMEN! I'm not talking about those packaged hard noodles that come with a little silver packet of sodium.

This past weekend's hideout was our local bowling alley where I bowled an impressive score of 85 (womp womp).

It’s almost the Fourth of July! That means backyard barbecues, fireworks, and donning that red, white, and blue!

We are definitely near the end of scarf season here in Northern California, but I just had to squeeze in one last neck-warming project.

One day … Continue reading Bandanna Scarf: Free Pattern
