What an honor!

What an honor! I received the Arte y Pico award from someone whose blog I love and who is a constant source of inspiration for me — thanks so much to Kellie at And She Can’t Even Cook (whose amazing Etsy store is, well, um, amazing — I was just wearing my apron this morning). [...]

In Regards to Selling My Calling Card Designs…

Shortly after posting about selling all of my calling card designs, I ended up having some second thoughts, and then removed the listing for selling them. Since that time, I realized that I’d still be okay with it, but kind of left it at that. The funny thing is, this week, I have had two [...]

Commence Homeschool Freak Out

Today I had to stop by the now former school of the boys. I knew that what did happen might happen if I had to go to the school, but there was no choice — I had a commitment, so I had to stop by. And, sure enough — the class lists were posted. You [...]

Pear Budget Giveaway

I have heard a lot about Pear Budget, but hadn’t tried it out until just today (there’s a free trial!). It’s really great, and I think I just may be switching over to it from my current spreadsheet approach. Anyway, on simple mom, there is a great giveaway to check out if you would like [...]

1930′s Follow Up: My husband took the test

So, the test I just posted about also has an option for what kind of 1930′s husband you are. Eric took the test (well, he was over my shoulder and I did the clicking). We figured he might score badly because he is such a great helper around the house, etc. We figured that perhaps [...]

It makes me sad to think about it…

But, I have come to realize I’m getting older. I don’t actually begrudge myself getting older. And, while I am a bit wistful while realizing that each of my little babies is no longer a little baby, it also isn’t what makes me sad.
