What I Did at School Today

In the spirit of the Christmas season, I have decided to have a giveaway. I will chose one reader to receive a set of five Christmas prints from Two Ply Two; the set will include one of each print listed. One of the prints is pictured above; the other four can be seen in the [...]

I loved Richard Scarry’s Busy Town when I was growing up, but I never really got the name until I had a toddler. Boy, is he ever busy! Sometimes I think he’s got so much moving to do that he won’t even be still when he’s sleeping, but then he gets tired and snuggling for [...]

So two afternoons in a row now I’ve gone in to get the toddler up from his nap to find him in bed naked and alone. No covers. No stuff friends. No clothes. No diaper. You do the math on that last one. So far there haven’t been any really big messes from it, but [...]

I really am sorry for the long absences. I really don’t do it on purpose. You see, both the boys were sick last week, and, well, one of them decided to share with Mama. So nice of them to share, right? And they’re so young, too! I’d tell you that it’s because I’m an excellent [...]

I had no idea that it had been so long since I had posted! I am so very sorry! And I don’t even have any photos for you today. If I were a house elf…
It’s been a bit crazy here. The baby has had some sort of intestinal yuck that, while very mild, has disrupted [...]

We had a blast playing in the leaves last week when it was still nice outside. Now the trees are starting to look bare and there’s a chance for snow on Monday.

Tamy posted this. And got a couple of comments from readers who were interested in my work. I had intended on listing left over prints from the last few years this year anyway. All I needed was the reminder at just the right time and some serious napping out of the boys to get it [...]

Hubby gave the toddler a lesson in photography the other day. The little guy just loves cameras; I’m certain that it has something to do with his desire to be just like his daddy. The thing that’s craziest about it? The kiddo now knows the difference between a Diana and a Holga and asks for [...]

That God paints the most beautiful pictures of all.

That I will never hear a better sound than my kids laughter.
That there is nothing sweeter than holding your sleeping baby.
That all the time and sacrifice I am pouring into them now will pay off big time in the long run.
That I will never look back and [...]

Completely unintentional. But, yes, I took a break from blogging. Things just went haywire around here. I’d love to say that it was because I was getting so much done, but, well, I wasn’t cooking, knitting or spinning. I was getting something important done, though; I was holding a baby who had his first full [...]
