I am one of those mom’s that feels the need to put shoes on her baby before going out of the house.  I know he really doesn’t need anything other than socks, especially in our warm climate, but I feel like he’s not fully dressed without shoes!  Recently, he grew out of his shoes and … Continue reading →

I’m a little late, but one of my favorite things over the holidays was reading about people’s Christmas traditions (Stacey’s family pajamas are one of the highlights every year).  As such, I’d like to share one of ours.  I think I’ve talked about this in the past, but this year was my first year to … Continue reading →

Okay, before you think I’ve completely lost my mind, hear me out.  In an effort to simplify (and save a little cash), we decided to ditch our satellite.  When we really thought about it, the only things we cared to watch are on network television, which we can get with an antenna on our television, … Continue reading →

Part of my New Years theme/resolution/goal (whatever you want to call it) to simplify includes my new motto of only touching things once.  I worked with a guy once who took that approach to work paperwork and he was perhaps the most organized co-worker I’ve ever had.  Right now, it’s helping us keep the house … Continue reading →

Way back in the beginning of December I made a Shedir.  I had been looking for an excuse to make it for a while and when a friend at work began her chemo and radiation treatments, I knew I had the perfect reason to make it.  I, of course, forgot to take pictures of it … Continue reading →

Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!  We’re already enjoying the festivities with our newest family member, with two more rounds of Christmas (and grandparents) yet to come!  See you in 2008 with actual knitting updates!!! Continue reading →

In other recent crafty pursuits, I made the munchkin a Halloween costume!  He was a frog prince, and stole the show everywhere we went.  My mom taught me how to read a pattern and guided me through the whole process.  That, and a little hot glue, and the results were a really fun and memorable … Continue reading →

I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves!  This was a great little project that I think he’ll wear a lot this winter!  I’m not completely happy with my increases, but you can’t win them all.  It was a fun knit and I’m happy with the results!  Most of all, I’m just happy to have a … Continue reading →

Cameron is cheering on the Red Sox tonight, thanks to Betsy!  Hopefully they’ll beat Cleveland, but even if they don’t, he’ll still be representing with his Red Sox blanket! ***Sorry it’s not the cutest pic of him, we’ve been fighting baby illness around here, including a cold and pink eye.  Luckily, said illnesses bother me … Continue reading →
