Since I’ve made over my diet pretty darn well in the past year (goodbye, Mr. Chips, hello, Mr. Fruit Smoothie), I have finally decided to tackle the other part of my health plan.
Exercise.
Is it just moi, or did that word send shivers down your spine? I’m breaking a sweat just thinking about breaking a sweat. I feel like I need a good cooling down, and I haven’t done the aerobic activity yet. This is bad.

Old Linens and Lace

Gorgeous!!!! Children’s clothing made from vintage linens and used clothing were sent our way to be juried for Project F.A.R.M. (First-class American Rural Made) certification.
The detail and care sewn into these are awesome! Impressive. Wish you could hold them in your hands. But wait, you can. Here’s where you can buy some of Dawn Baker’s Designs (db Designs) for your very own. She also takes custom orders for everything from furniture to architectural elements to ballerina wedding dresses. Check her out for yourself!
