Excuses, excuses.

I owe you an apology. I promised a post on Fashion for Less last week, but it never materialized. Partly because I still have some sewing to do {spoiler!} and partly because we decided to hold a yard sale/lemonade stand at the last minute...




... which, by the way, was a grand success. The kids squeezed all the lemons for the lemonade and Little Miss C proved to be the ray of sunshine that persuaded even the toughest construction worker to stop and buy a drink or brownie. They made $97.00 {!!!} which we then had them deduct overhead costs from and divide the profits between them {80/20 since Little Miss did most of the work}. Best math class ever.




I spent the rest of the weekend {finally!} getting organized. I made brand new chore charts, gave the house a good cleaning, and took all our unsold yard-sale stuff to Goodwill. 


And now I can start sewing {while watching Project Runway, naturally}. Hopefully I'll have a fashion post up for you this week, m'kay?

  1. Those are all great excuses! And whatever that chocolatey wrapped goodness is on that lemonade stand table, I'll take two. YUM.
