I finally had the chance to sew my favorite fabric find from the end of August into something for L4 today. Again, I am loving Girly Style Wardrobe! Today’s FO is skirt D from the book. Here we have L4 modeling, as well as a uncooperative hanger.
I think she’ll be able to [...]

We have been trying to repaint our living room for several weeks now. We ran into a road block when the colors just weren’t working for us. KAB came over to view it/give us advice. We took her advice, but didn’t really get going on it for various reasons. (One reason: [...]

In my ongoing search for ways to consume less resources one of my dilemma’s has been with facial tissues. For a time we tried to use the recycled kind, but they hurt my nose! So I’ve been feeling guilty (yes, it crops up all over the place, doesn’t it?) about using non-recycled paper [...]

I have been slowly, slowly reading the Little House series to L3 over the past several years. One of the things I have enjoyed about this process, that I didn’t remember from my own childhood reading of the books, is how amazing it is to learn about how self-sufficient and sustainable their lives were.

Over the past few days I’ve been hearing little voices busy in various activities. Whispering to themselves, voices pitched at different levels to be different “people” as they are engaged in imaginary play, little voices giving themselves commands (ex: “blankie has to stay in this spot!”). Tonight’s little voices were raised in song. [...]

You probably wouldn’t think you’d read a post title like that around here now, would you? Let me introduce you to the reason:

“Balance” has so many connotations to it. Today our family was focusing on the balance of light and dark, day and night as the moment of the autumnal equinox approaches. We spent the day doing things to prepare for the winter and celebrate the fall as it stands where we live right now.

Organic chocolate. Chocolate that you can take just a square of and be happy. Chocolate that comes in many delectable flavors, both dark and milk, with tasty fillings. Recent favorite for me is the caramel. Recommendation: Don’t eat the caramel at same time you’re eating half of a bag of kettle corn popcorn by yourself. [...]

During lunch today I read about Angry Chicken’s (aka Amy Karol of Bend the Rules Sewing) kids’ fairy house they recently built. The project seemed like something L3 would adore as loves building with the bits and pieces of “treasure” he finds on his outdoor adventures (usually in our own yard!). Since L1 [...]

At least for a little while! Today is a work-from-home day, with L4 by my side. I have done work, but not all of it has been for my “day job.” That’s where the guilt comes in.
Me-Guilt: You really should be reading my textbook, updating those powerpoints grading those homeworks, answering emails….
Me-Bliss: [...]
