What I Did at School Today

We awoke this morning to the 2 inches they had predicted, but it just kept coming down. All told, it seems we got 4 or 5 inches at our house. That meant a lot of shoveling for the boys.

And hubby grabbed my camera to get this shot of the toddler eating post shoveling [...]

A while back I bought myself a new pair of shoes. Keen, Mary Janes. I was thrilled to find them on sale; I’d been wanting a pair of comfy mary janes for a while. And they just happen to be a bit reminiscent of Elvis.
I remember my mom putting a Scotch Guard on our new [...]

Here it is; at long last. I know I’ve been promising you this one for a while, but we just kept eating it before I could get any photos taken! This time I took the photos after it was sliced, but before I served it just in case.
I can’t take all the credit on this [...]

This is my least favorite part of winter. While I enjoy the seasons, the last part of winter has always been tough for me. When I was still teaching I would start joking around the end of January that it was time to fly south. Being a native Texan, I may not have entirely been [...]

I had two skeins of Blue Sky Alpacas organic cotton that had been in my stash for a while, and I really wanted to knit them into a sweater for the baby. I hunted and hunted for the perfect pattern, but I couldn’t find one I liked. I just wanted a plain, simple sweater. So [...]

I think it might be a good idea for me to do a monthly report on how I’m doing with all those resolutions. Shortly after the initial post, I decided on one addition to the list. Remember the Super Secret Surprise (SSS)? I have 5 blocks finished out of 30; I figure if I finish [...]
