Packers Pride!

By on August 24, 2017

Go Pack Go! Sara at RP Custom Fabrics has a new pre-order up with tartan plaids in team colors.  How awesome is that??  I love this idea and had to make up a top for me in the Green, Gold and White Tartan. I didn’t have any matching green, so I went to the closet […]

By on July 28, 2017

The softball season closed out for the girls with a Nationals tournament.  These tournaments are more like a regional tournament, where some do come from states away.  Fortunately for us, it was just a half hour away.
