Okay, so I haven’t actually used this yet, but I came up with a plan for menu planning (heh) that I thought I’d share in case it helps someone else out. I have recently discovered Evernote (thanks to Mary-Heather) and have been using it for recipes and shopping lists. It was so handy over the [...]

The Santa Suit
Posted in Uncategorized on December 14, 2011 | 2 Comments »
After coming back from Thanksgiving and the Arkansas Fiber Extravaganza (which I’ll blog on the Ravelry blog this week), I was greeted by a note from C1′s teacher written prior to Thanksgiving which we obviously did not see. She asked me if I could make a Santa suit. I responded by asking her for who [...]
Black Friday

I didn’t keep up the blogging over the holiday but now that I’m back to a bit of a normal schedule, I’m back at it. One highlight of my holiday break was Black Friday shopping with my cousin, aunt, sister and the husband. I’m not one to get up early, so we hit WalMart at [...]
Hit the road, Jack!

As I write this, my rear end is tightly wedged between two car seats, C1 on my right watching Toy Story 3 on my old phone (thank God for technology) & C2 on my left eating, non-stop. The plan was to drive halfway tonight, but I think we might push through and get to our [...]
His Blanket

When I was pregnant with Cameron, I made him a blanket. He has since used it at home, at school and everywhere in between. He loves it and four years later, he still uses it. So, I decided it was worth making one for C2 when I was pregnant with him. My big criteria, no [...]
Quilt Festival

The Quilt Festival was in town a couple of weeks ago. The consumer portion of the show is amazing. One side of the convention center features quilts that have been selected for display in various categories. My mother in law who came with me compared many of them to paintings, though they are painting with [...]

A certain little monster was high maintenance today, so instead of a real post, this will gave to do. When I decided to do NaBloPoMo, Laura suggested I post a cute baby picture on days when I had nothing else. Today was one of those days!
Time well spent
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged C2, life on November 12, 2011 | 4 Comments »
I am not a patient person. I knit because without knitting, I have a hard time sitting still. I sometimes find it hard to relax because I feel I should be doing something. This busy nature of mine can make it hard to spend the necessary time feeding and snuggling a baby. I just try [...]
Turkey

Oops I didn’t post yesterday but this is what I was going to post. We went to the kid’s school for his fall festival. They had this turkey on the wall of what kids are thankful for. Most kids said their family or something significant. My kid, he’s thankful for Cars 2.

While I was pregnant, I fit the entire contents of my craft room into a wire shelving unit in the baby’s closet. At the time I just shoved everything in there but I recently took it all out and organized it. It was great to be reminded of the supplies that I have and to [...]
