~why i'm not letting my son play with your son~

March 31, 2017 / BY Okio B Designs

A bit of a departure from my usual posts, but it's been something we've been dealing with. And you know sometimes writing it out makes you feel better. Why I’m Not Letting My Son Play With Your Son My son can be a jerk. Sometimes he doesn’t share. He’ll quit a game if it doesn’t go his way. He’ll rat you out in a heartbeat. Some might argue this is typical behavior for a 9...

Sigh! We're expecting a major snowstorm/blizzard/nor'easter tonight. Just when I thought winter was over, Mother Nature throws me a curve ball. School is closed tomorrow, so my boys will be home.

I have them displayed on...

I found a super simple tutorial to follow from Pinterest. It's the one where you...

February 16, 2017 / BY Okio B Designs

I love bunnies, don't you? I have them all over the house and not just for Easter. It must run in the family because my Mom and sister love them too. I whipped up a few bunny projects earlier in the week. For this sweet lavender bunny sachet, I used some Osnaburg fabric, Poly-Fil and lavender buds. I thought the little bow was a cute touch. It smells delish! I also made this pretty bunny...
