Always learning, The Meadow Quilt

January 18, 2017January 20, 2017 ~ TracyBug Creative ~ 5 Comments

Last year I set out to expand my quilting skills!  I wanted to take a few classes and push my current abilities beyond my comfort zone... Enter the Meadow Quilt.. a class by Fabric designer Lizzy House.  I pushed my color comfort zone and learned to inset circles and piece curves, and more curves!After debating … Continue reading Always learning, The Meadow Quilt

They broke bread… 

January 10, 2017February 28, 2018 ~ TracyBug Creative ~ 1 Comment

This year we will be more intentional about eating together, enjoying meals together, passing food, breaking bread, while sharing our lives and our faith. Being part of one another's stories! So to that end, I don't want to arrive at the table ragged from slave cooking an elaborate meal.  I want real food prepared without a … Continue reading They broke bread… 

Merry Christmas

O Holy Night The stars are brightly shining It is the night of our dear Savior's birth Long lay the world in sin and error pining 'Til He appeared and the soul felt its worth A thrill of hope a weary world rejoices For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn Fall on your knees, … Continue reading Merry Christmas 

What to read after Harry Potter…

December 13, 2016December 13, 2016 ~ TracyBug Creative ~ Leave a comment

I have never been a "book worm" nor did I ever have a time I fell in love with books... however, I did always dream of having children that loved reading and books... So much so in fact that at my first baby shower I asked that instead of cards that attendees bring a copy … Continue reading What to read after Harry Potter…

Really feeling the Christmas spirit this year, the joy, hope, peace, and expectation. I totally get that not every year is filled with all the good feels...some years it's just plain hard. We've had our share of painful years! This year, I'm soaking up all the feels! I wanted to add a little more cheer … Continue reading Joy

Vintage Sheets Make Me Swoon!

December 8, 2016December 8, 2016 ~ TracyBug Creative ~ 1 Comment

As a young girl, I was obsessed with how my grandmother’s sheets smelled.  Is that weird? When I’d visit and snuggle into bed at night, I felt so safe and so warm and loved.  I associated the scent of her detergent mixed perfectly with her perfumed skin care products with that “I am so loved” … Continue reading Vintage Sheets Make Me Swoon!

This French Provençal dreamy baby really makes me miss a Dallas restaurant staple, La Madeleine. So many carefree, pre-kid, Saturday mornings spent by the cozy fire eating Croissants and Sipping coffee.. #frenchprovincial #babystyleguide #modernbabyquilt #classicbaby
When my sweet grandma had to enter a nursing facility after my grandpa passed away, I visited her and checked in on how she was adjusting. She said “It’s not ideal, but I’m having a lot of fun making the best of the situation. Sometimes we have to do things we don’t really want to do, but it’s up to us to have fun doing them.” I’ve hung onto those words words and example my grandma gave. She was a wise woman, I think she might have been onto the cure for anxiety. #anxiousmama #anxietycure #wisewomen #lumberjackparty #lumberjackbabyshower
It’s Memory Master season in our house. That means I sit here for what seems like two hours each day drilling memory work with my elementary age children. They have each independently set goals of committing a big chunk of our schoolwork to long term memory. Math Facts (times tables to 15’s, metric and standard equivalents, formulas, laws), Geography: finding and naming 120 international points on a map, Latin Noun declensions: 1-5 singular and plural, English: Definitions and lists of Prepositions, Helping Verbs, Linking Verbs, timeline: 161 points from Creation to Modern History, Science: 123 Science facts life science and earth science. It is a LOT of information and more than just memorizing we are learning about hard work, perseverance, patience, creativity, problem solving, love of learning. What is amazing to me is that after 7 years of helping my kids reach their goals I’m still learning so many of these lessons, over and over again. Also, I’ll be so ready for summer when it finally comes! Mama needs a break! #msqcshowandtell #downthedrainquilt #memorymaster #classicaleducation #readyforsummerbreak #homeschoolkids
