Trying to put the experience of motherhood into words is no easy task, and perhaps that's part of the allure. I love writing about motherhood and while I used to do a lot of it here I have moved most of those musings to my contributions on mom.me.

What's more fun than dining al fresco? Picking your own garnish right from the center of the table! We've had an outdoor table with a tile top for several years, we got it at Target but I've seen this style all over, maybe you've got a similar one? If so, you're going to love this project!

Oh, and it needed to be affordable.
