I hate stupid questions.
I took the kids out for ice cream this afternoon with a friend. She also has six kids. The cashier asked if all of those kids were mine. When I told her six of them were, she sputtered, and then, honestly, said, “Tell me. How does that happen? I mean really, how does it happen?!” […]
TOS Review: Picaboo Yearbooks
As a part of the Old Schoolhouse Review Crew this year, I had the honor of making a yearbook from Picaboo Yearbooks to use their website, receive a printed copy of my 20-Page Softcover Yearbook creation, and then be able to review it for all of you. I chose to do a “yearbook” of Pierce’s […]
Hello, welcome, yes, and excuse me while I find some clothes.
The flag keeps falling off of our mailbox. In trying to fix it without making a sharp edge (ie. using wire) I used two bread plastic bag clips, clipped onto the peg of the flag that sticks inside. I haven’t decided if it was clever or trashy – but it worked. Hello Mrs. Mail Lady. […]

Oh, for cute.
Four new circle skirts made from this pattern slightly edited on the waistband for ease of knowing where the back is (and covering my sewing machine’s hatred for sewing two piece of elastic together) and four new necklaces, made from matching fabric from this pattern, made four very happy girls. Four very cute very happy […]
Organize the big-family van.
Or organize your smaller-family car. You pick. Either way, these things have really helped me: I put bowls (because plates and cars don’t get along) and cups and spoons in the van, to stay there. Everyone has one, their name is on it, and we keep them out there. We don’t eat in the van […]
Kitchen ponderings.
Liberty watched as I cut the cantaloupe in half. I handed her a spoon, she scooped out the seeds, then handed it back to me and watched me cut off the rind and slice the fruit. “Why is there always a hole in the middle of the melon?” she asked. I stared at her. My […]
