DIY Baby Gift ~ Portable Growth Chart Kit

111 · · 107 Comments

I grew up with a Mom who religiously made those cute little tick marks inside a door frame every year to mark our growth.  Sadly when we moved we didn’t get to take the door frame with us.  Sooo, I thought I would make a portable growth chart kit for my kiddos that can stay on the wall or be tucked away and taken out on special occasions.  Here is what you need…

{Friday Flair & Who I Am} with Rebecca from Simple as That

0 · · 26 Comments

 
Hi. My name's Rebecca.
 
I'm a wife. Mother. Daughter. Sister. Friend. Blogger. Chocolate lover.
 
……
 
I'm  a bit of a perfectionist. Ugh. My sister's gonna read this and roll her eyes. Ok. I am a perfectionist. Totally hate it!
 
……
 
I'm a crafter, but I'm a lazy one. It needs to be simple or I'll turn and run!
 
……
 
I'm a photographer. A scrapbooker. I'm a believer in recording the stories of our regular, everyday life. The real {yes, my kids pick their nose too} kind of stories.
 
……
 
I wrote a book once.
 
……
 
I love to read but rarely find time these days. The last book I read: The Hunger Games.
 
……
 
I love quotes. I collect them. One of my recent favorites:
 
"The great lesson is…that the sacred is in the ordinary, that it is to be found in one's daily life, in one's neighbors, friends and family, in one's backyard."
 
– Abraham Maslow
 
……
 
I'm the oldest of four siblings. Before I had children I was a dental assistant. I'm an obsessive list writer. I love quiet, but rarely find it. …… I love chocolate, did I mention that already? I love garlic mashed potatoes, mint chocolate chip icecream & popcorn. Not at the same time, mind you.
…… I love to cook but hate cleaning up the mess afterwards. ……
 
I do enjoy time out with friends, but I'm a total homebody. My favorite place to be is at home, curled up on the couch in a comfy pair of yoga pants.

……

I'm a mean mom. I totally make my kids eat all their veggies, brush their teeth longer than 10 seconds and put on clean clothes at least every other day.  
…….
 
Sometimes I leave the dinner dishes in the sink overnight. Sometimes I don't put the lid on the toothpaste. Sometimes I'm grumpy and impossible and crave time to myself. …… I'm thankful for the opportunity I have to be a mother to four beautiful children. I'm thankful for a husband who knows just what I need, even better than I do sometimes. I'm thankful for the strength I find in my faith to face life's challenges. …… I love to blog. I especially love connecting with women around the world & exchanging stories of motherhood, the challenges of daily life, crafting & photography. Getting to know others who are different from myself, yet the same in so many ways. 🙂
 
 
Rebecca is one of my new blogging friends and I ADORE her!!  This woman has talent, style & drive.  I love and admire that in people.  Her photography is simply divine and I learn soooo much from her.  Make sure you head over to Simple at That and say hello from WhipperBerry!!
 
Sidenote…

Recipe ~ Cranberry Chili Street Taco

0 · · 33 Comments

Just in case you were wondering… we here at WhipperBerry don’t live on cake alone! I know you think we do.  Truly we love food of all kinds!

One of my all time favorite obsessions is street food.  In my imagination I live a nomadic life roaming from exotic locale to exotic locale trying all of the fun street food that place has to offer.  Then realitiy sets in… and the most exotic street vendor I can add to my list is the haggis cart {all be it, the American version} at the local Scotish Festival.  Shocking, I know.  With that said… I LOVE street tacos!  Quite frankly I haven’t met a street taco that I didn’t love.  The combination of the warm corn tortilla filled with spicy grilled or slow cooked meat with all of the fun topping combinations really makes this girl happy.
