One afternoon a couple of weeks ago I took the boys up to hubby's studio for pictures. The baby fell asleep in the car, so the toddler stayed for pictures and the baby and I headed to Home Depot...
Not so yellow, not polka-dotted, and definitely not a bikini! This little newborn hat will be on it's way to Texas soon along with some other things I'm working on sewing. See, I have been knitting! The yarn is...
We had some friends over for dinner yesterday. Amy and Adam have two kids about the same ages as our two. Their little girl will be two soon and their baby boy is just two weeks younger than ours. And...
A somewhat scary and little known fact about me is that my hair has not been cut in about two and a half years, since a bit before my first son was born. I know; that's just plain wrong....
"Are you two?' "Nope. G not two." Well, there you have it. He is two; so he's definitely NOT two. And he's full of funny things that would have qualified him for the Bill Cosby show Kids say the...
Yep, that's the hood of hubby's car. It seems to attract road debris; its sustained much damage through simply being at the wrong spot at the wrong time. There was a section of tire tread on I-35 about 40...
I got tagged for the six random things meme that's going around by my cousin Tamy. I should disclose that I think she tagged me for the seven random things one a while back and I neglected to participate. I...
The toddler is having nap time issues. This is really not new for him. He was a classic short napper as a baby, and he fought naps much harder than he did bedtime. He would go to bed at...
I've had the Dixie Chicks song of the same title in my head for some of the evening this evening. It's been one of those days where if I wasn't holding one kiddo, I was the other. Both of...
It's amazing to me how different something can look in a picture. I took that photo of a baby praying mantis last week while we were playing out back. At the time, I wasn't even positive what kind of...
I'm currently on a dairy free diet. I love milk and cheese, but the baby had just awful gas when I had dairy. The toddler was this way too when he was little, so I've done this before. While...
When we headed out for a family drive just over a week ago, I decided not to take the Hoover blanket with us. It was just plain too hot to have that mass of cotton yarn in my lap....
As a stay/work from home mama, I frequently find that 8 or 9 am rolls around and I am still in my PJ's. Both the boys are dressed, everyone has had breakfast, yet mama hasn't had time to even...
Somehow last week my maternity leave ended and I went back to work. I didn't even plan it. All I know is that at the end of the week I had several things that I had made and plans...
The Hoover blanket is finally finished! And to tell you the truth, it is so fresh off the needles that I haven't even measured it or woven in the two ends I have left. It should measure around 40...
We did something totally crazy yesterday. We played outback. We've had triple digit heat indexes for a few days now. It's just plain hot and sticky here, but at 10:45 or so in the morning I just couldn't stand...
