The art of folding dumplings

August 16, 2012~ Etc.

Jay told me he was craving dumplings one day, so I made some for dinner.  When he came home from work and saw what I was making, he excitedly offered to help me make some.  

Can you guess which one he folded?  I kept smiling and laughing as I was folding the dumplings, because this is how I feel when he dresses the girls.  You can tell by seeing our girls’ outfits who dressed the girls that day.  If I dressed them, it’s usually in a dress or a skirt, girly and fashionable(and cuter in my opinion ;), and when Jay dressed them, it’s always in everything cotton, basketball shorts, or an Adidas t-shirt, very plain and comfortable.  
In the beginning I used to make fun of it or make a comment about how their outfits weren’t very cute,  or when he would go to a store during his lunch break to buy some clothes for them, I would tell him how I didn’t like the clothes he bought for them, but then I realized, why am I even complaining?  I should feel very lucky and grateful that he willingly dresses the girls so many times without me asking, or buys their clothes because he wants to be that involved in their lives!  So now, when I see the girls walk out of their rooms in their Adidas t-shirt and basketball shorts, I find it absolutely adorable, and heart-melting.

DIY: tailor & add sleeves to a dress

August 13, 2012~ REFASHION RUNWAY, SEWING

I don’t know about you, but I prefer to wear dresses over pants or skirts any day in the summer since it’s much cooler, and way more comfortable.  I got this dress at Kohl’s(for $4!) but the chest/waist part was a little loose.  So I tailored it smaller and used the lining of the dress […]

August 8, 2012~ Etc.

{Dress: Victoria’s Secret} I went to see a friend whom I haven’t seen in about 10 years.  And now we’re both married with 2-3 kids!  The place she lived at was absolutely beautiful, with a lake surrounding all the houses.  I didn’t know places like this even existed in UT!  We kayaked and stand-up paddle boarded, […]
