February is seriously one of my favorite months. I have always loved Valentines season. When I was growing up, each year my five siblings and I could look forward to coming home from school to a special handmade valentine from our mother. Some years it was a simple card or big homemade cookie…other years, something…
My sewing machine and I have become reacquainted again after a long break. While stitching away I couldn’t get the lyrics, “reunited and it feels so good.” out of my mind…it does feel good. I’ve mostly been making stuff for baby Bradley and I did make a Pod for baby Ollie (that’s what we’ve decided…
Hey, Maise, can you smile for the camera? Thanks! Hope all is well with all of you! We are chuggin’ along over here. Just heard from the Printer and Camille is going to approve the final draft of the Paper Doll Coloring Book (crossing fingers that all of the “issues” have been solved)…then after production…
From the Archives: June 2010 This is from a series of blog posts I asked my wise and wonderful cousins to do years ago. Enjoy! So Much Stuff Lots of stuff seems to come with having a family. With six children in ours, we have plenty of it! Some of it seems to multiply on its own….
About three times a day, Jeff will find me and say “So, what are you up to?” And I’ll say (a little confused) something like: “Well, I just changed Ollie’s diaper and gave Norah a banana (wondering in my distracted mind why Jeff keeps checking up on me).”And then he’ll say, “No, on Kickstarter.” “Oh!”…
Candy was gathered (first time for all three girls…twins loved it, Norah was done after the first four houses). The Family Photo….DONE (even though it is a horrible photo) Jeff, Ollie and Me = Popeye, Olive Oyl and Swea’Pea. The girls= Princesses, of course. Twins, such gracious little princesses…Who is that crazy kid in the…

Love it!
We are in the middle of that good ole Nevada desert too…so I know how precious that garden is! My 4 yr old was at a friend’s house who happens to have a garden. Well, we live in a condo with not much for gardening space…so the concept is not too familiar to him. He saw a strawberry on the plant and got so excited that he just found something “that was just growing there!” Of course he ate it, much to the dismay of said friend’s 3 yr old…because he didn’t even get a good one (it was a bit unripe). Your post just reminded me of that funny little moment & I had to share!
