So does it mean I’m a tech geek or that I’m industrious or just plain lazy that sometimes I use my iPad to measure my knitting so I don’t have to carry a tape measure? My tape measure is a cute little sheep that I really should alway carry with me. However, the other day … Continue reading

Am I a Big Fat Liar? 365 project(s) progress update
So, I said I was going to get rid of one thing every day? Am I really doing it? Or, am I taking one item and splitting it into pieces and counting each piece as one item (not that I ever thought of that)? Am I discarding my husband’s or children’s items rather than clearing … Continue reading
Cooking Light with Evernote…
A number of you already know that I am on a slow and deliberate path toward simplifying my life (you may even have joined me in the quest for less!). Some of you may also know that I’m a big fan of Evernote (a cloud-based filing system that I’ve reviewed in my top ten apps for … Continue reading
Yarn along update (ravelry red rocks!)
Since posting about the Small Things’ yarn along last on December 28th, I’ve gotten one fingerless mitten knitted, but not seamed up and I’m about an inch into the knitting of the second mitten. I’m continuing to LOVE the Malabrigo Rios Yarns. I’ve always been a fan of red, but the Ravelry Red color is wonderful, … Continue reading
The Motherhood Manual- I have all the answers.
Yesterday I told you how babies and blog buttons are related. Today, I am sharing the first installment of my Motherhood Manual, which will cover many other tidbits I’ve learned from my time with babies. That’s right, let the wisdom flow… Prologue Preface Background: A few years ago, I had a baby. He was my … Continue reading
What do babies have to do with blog buttons?
In my last post I threw out the idea that I’d make a button for those of us participating in the 365 Days to Simplicity (I’ll make a grungier button for those of you who don’t want something cutesy- maybe the “Purge” one?). I also casually mentioned that I didn’t know how to make the … Continue reading
We’re moving towards simplicity
[Update:] This is one of a series of posts that were published at the OttoandEddie site. As predicted below, that site has now being merged with Twyste. With it being the new year and time for resolutions and bucket lists and such, we are considering a move towards simplicity. Go ahead and grab the button … Continue reading
365 Days to Simplicity. or the 365 Day Purge. or the Quest for Less.
I crave simple, yet I add more to my life. It makes no sense. However, I have a new plan (does that count as adding something new, since my plan is actually to be reducing?) that will help to simplify my world. I wrote about it in my Drop in the Bucket List post and it’s … Continue reading
365 Project… like I need something else I’m supposed to do EVERY DAY
At first glance starting a new project that requires me to perform yet another task on a daily basis may not seem like such a great idea to the realists out there. But, if I based all my goals on total realism rather than optimism, I’m not sure what I’d put on my list. Plus, … Continue reading
Off to a good start
It’s only one day into the new year, but I’m off to a good start on my drop in the Bucket List. I’ve already gotten right on item #3 and cleansed my house of not one, but TWO items (I know, I’m such an over achiever… ha!). The two pairs of shoes were pretty easy … Continue reading
