Thanks!

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 →

A year in review…

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 →

App review: Storyboarder

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 fell off the wagon…

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 →

Motherhood Manual: Tea and Beer …or Mother of the Year Award Slips through Fingers

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 →

Where tech & knitting (& carpentry?) collide

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 →
