… I can sew! And some credit also goes to my mom and grandma.
Anyway, I’ve been sewing more lately, partly because a neighbor who is moving gave me several bags of fabric that jump-started my imagination! Also, the blogs SouleMama and Little Birdie Secrets have many projects (some similar to these) and ideas I’d [...]

Of course.

Of course when the girls go to bed easy and early, the boy stays up for three hours.
Of course when he sleeps all night, the girls are up way earlier than usual.
Of course the mama thinks she needs more sleep.
Of course she can still choose the kind of day she wants.
Of course she still has [...]
The little things
Posted in goals, kids, little things on May 5, 2009 | 9 Comments »
I am always trying to be more intentional to notice and remember all the little things I have to be thankful for and to take time to notice the beautiful details in my sometimes monotonous-seeming days.
For example:
The sun peeking in my east kitchen windows first thing in the morning.
Chubby thighs and bottom as I change my sweet boy’s [...]
Banana Oatmeal Cookies
Posted in food, goals on April 28, 2009 | 2 Comments »
I’m always looking for new recipes that are yummy AND healthy. Especially if they are sweet. And gluten free – as I find I feel better the less wheat that I eat.
So here’s one the girls and I made yesterday and I’m linking it to share at Tasty Tuesday by Jen at Balancing Beauty and [...]
A better bathroom.
Posted in Josh, craftiness, goals, house, potty training on March 3, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Our surroundings DO make a difference. So a while back The Nester showed us how to do 10-minute room makeovers. Here you can see what other people did (on time!). And here are some good thoughts by Remodeling Guy on why the way bathrooms look matters.
And while I didn’t do anything fancy, anything that cost money or more than a [...]

This’ll be a long one.
So here’s the really, really quick version if you are running short on time or don’t want to know all the wonderful details of my breastfeeding adventure:
March 2005 – Kate is born and I breastfeed for two and half weeks before switching to formula. Kate survives, even thrives.
December 2006 – Megan [...]

(Thanks to SouleMama and her Winter’s Manifesto for inspiration.)
Catching sunbeams that come in the window.
The potted plants growing in front of the south window.
Playing outside on the unseasonably warm days.
Play-dough. Paint. Crayons. Baths.

Here she comes just a-walkin’ down the street!
Posted in Belleville, breastfeeding, goals, laughs, outside, play on February 10, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Ok, so this post really needs pictures or better yet, video to accompany it, but I just can’t get what I want so words will have to suffice.
I started thinking about walking more and how to do that in my life – mostly because I stepped on the scale at the doctor’s office the other [...]

Well, here goes, let’s see how I’ve been doing on my goals for this year! You can read my post about them here.
I HAVE been eating more vegetables! Broccoli, brussel sprouts, snap peas and carrots are my current favorites. Here’s a recipe I got off the carrot bag (and modified – I can’t seem to [...]
