We’ve done advent calendars with activities or treats before, but this year we are doing one with activities and treats each day for C1. We are using the advent calendar that I made years ago – and you can tell my sewing skills have improved since I made it – but I just finished adding … Continue reading

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 … Continue reading
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 … Continue reading

It wasn’t until the Sugar Land Yarn Company opened up that I met some folks at their Cajun … Continue reading
Favorite Things
I love reading about what other folks are loving right now on their blogs, but don’t formalize a list of mine that often. So, here goes, things I’m loving right now. Ellen’s Blueberry Muffins over at Pioneer Woman (my version pictured above). I baked them last night and they are really good! I think they … Continue reading
Happy 2010!
I am one of those people who likes a fresh start, like this new blog space and the new year. If anything, 2009 taught me that things can change faster than you can imagine and opportunity can come where you least expect it. After working for Ravelry part time (on top of my full time … Continue reading
