domestic diva

Our life has finally resumed it’s regular schedule, we haven’t lost ourselves in the depths of spring break blues, or in mourning Kelsey’s departure. While the men are at school/work we ladies have kept busy doing fun stuff around the house, while we “patiently” wait for winter to pull it’s claws out of spring…

Here is Domestic Diva Brinley, host of the next hottest show on Food Network – Gourmet Cooking for the Toothless. Here she is getting ready to add the goose-goose, er….couscous to the pear/broccoli gumbo.

We use all natural ingredients, including leaves and bark…This chicken noodle soup will have a crunch to it, that’s for sure!

Moving on to breakfast foods…peaches, oatmeal and some Wheat Germ for added brain power. Rowan might not be crawling yet, but watch her IQ soar!

Later in the week Binnie & I decided to go full throttle with the girl power and make a new church bag for her. Here Brinley is showing us how to apply interfacing – it’s easy she says…just look for the bumpy side.

I let my 6-year-old play with matches and my (almost) 4-year-old do the ironing. Rowan put down the blow torch!

Do you think Brinley is having fun yet playing with all of mommy’s big girl toys?

Forget the bag, she’s breaking out, making something on her own. Something. Next week we’ll work on sewing a straight line.

Look at that intense focus. She didn’t even sew her fingers together!

The finished product. Look for Brinley’s latest designs on Etsy. Watch out Martha!
