I like lists. I like the process of writing them. I like the look of the listed items with their optimistic little checkboxes. I like it that my list provides a plan for accomplishing things during my day, that my list keeps me organized and on track. I like it that my list lets me … Continue reading
I tried out a new app this week and it filled a niche that surprisingly wasn’t already filled by the apps currently on my phone. I say “surprisingly” because I have what seems to me like an awful lot of apps. The other day I was looking at all of my little folders crammed with … Continue reading
This is my update on the yarn along. It’s also a chance to tell you I’m making a new “super easy, use up some yarn you probably already have” pattern. Any guesses which is the washcloth and which is the failure? Right. I was all happy and possibly a bit cocky last week about how … Continue reading
One of my favorite stories of my son, Spencer, is from when he was in kindergarten and picked out a heart-shaped Care Bear lunch box for school. I remember asking him if he would be okay with it if someone gave him a bad time about it and I loved his reply. He said, “that’s … Continue reading
Before having children, my husband and I went camping. Not a ton, but some. I was never a diehard, “hike for miles (uphill in the snow) while carrying all my belongings on my back” kind of camper, but was all for the “load up as much food and snacks as possible into the back of … Continue reading
Hey everyone, I just wanted to say thanks (obviously… did you read the title?). It’s been really fun for me to see the number of visitors increasing and, as a result, I’m currently a bit of an addict on the stats page. It doesn’t tell me who you are, but lets me know how many … Continue reading
You realize that a year in review is only two weeks at this point, don’t you? It sounds way more impressive to say “a year in review” though. Does anyone else hear it being said in a news anchor voice? “A year in review … with Tom Brokaw.” How ’bout now? Anyway, I’m doing a … Continue reading
Storyboarder is a super cool app made by the same people who make two other apps I’ve talked about (Postagram and Sincerely Ink). In iTunes they state “Storyboarder allows you to quickly and easily tell your story from a collection of photos.” That’s true, but I don’t think really does the app justice or sells … Continue reading
I made it eight days into 2012 before I fell off the wagon. No, not the liquor wagon or the food wagon (food cart?)… Actually, I don’t know the origin of that phrase “off the wagon,” so if I’m mixing metaphors as I go on, sorry about that. I generally have a pretty good grasp … Continue reading
I feel that before I embark on my little full disclosure “Motherhood Manual,” I should first put a few things out there. 1. I am a good mom. 2. I love and almost always like my children. 3. My children love and almost always like me. 4. No children (or parents… you’ll see what I’m … Continue reading
