7 Quick Takes: June 25, 2010 (Vol. 44)

~ 1 ~ This is now the third month in a row where I have spent a week (or more) out of state.  Quite frankly, I’m pretty exhausted now.  I have been admonishing myself for getting so far behind in many things in my life (online and offline).  But, I guess when I have spent [...]

An Unexpected Clothesline

I have thought about a clothesline on and off for a while. It just didn’t seem practical for a household full of allergy sufferers, and then I didn’t really love the idea of having it draped across the backyard either (not just for looks, but also because we get tons of birds in our backyard).  [...]

7 Quick Takes: February 12, 2010 (Vol. 29)

~ 1 ~ I still haven’t gotten caught up from Blissdom 2010.  I promise that it is my intention to write about it very, very soon.  But, here is a sneak peek of my Blissdom experience (one of the few pictures I got)…   That’s me, George Duran (formerly of Food Network’s Ham on the [...]

Easy Visual Reminder for Sorting Similarly Sized Kids Clothes

If you have children that are the same gender that are in similarly sized clothes, you probably have had the problem that we have run into here from time to time.  There would be a shirt with some very non-specific size like “medium” or there would be a 8/10 sized shirt that ran either much [...]

7 Quick Takes: September 18th (Vol. 16)

~ 1 ~ The free piano that we totally refinished, built new parts for, and prayed that it would actually be able to be tuned has now been serviced by a piano tuner. I was so nervous that after all of the hard work we had put into it that it wouldn’t be able to [...]

Little Girls with Hats and Scarves

I’m not sure why I love to see it so much, but there is something so sweet to me about little girls in hats or with scarves on. Really…who knows why? But, isn’t she sweet? And, I figure if it makes me smile every time I see it, it must certainly qualify as one of [...]

I Am Finally (Kind of) Knitting (aka Loom Knitting is Fun and Easy)

I have really been wanting to learn how to knit. Eric and the kids were nice enough to let me pick out a few things from Amazon.com for my birthday in December, and one thing I got was The Complete Beginner’s Guide to Knitting that people were just raving about. (That’s also when I got [...]

Question and Answer: The Snuggie

A few weeks ago, I posted a Wordless Wednesday of this picture of Noah in his Snuggie. I got a few questions about the Snuggie, and frankly, I didn’t know how to answer them. You see, Noah kept begging for a Snuggie and then finally used his own money to buy one. So, since it [...]

Small Successes (aka Hello Dr. Ross)

I have been feeling so frazzled lately. It’s like I just can’t keep up! But, here were three bright spots for today: 1. I got to go to my favorite twice a year consignment sale. I got a big pile of clothes (I’ll have to post what I got later), as well as a few [...]
