App of the Week: Shopping List

This week’s app review is pretty cool (aren’t they all, though?). As you can tell by the title of the review, the app I’m reviewing is Shopping List (from Recipe.com). I had a lot of fun making my grocery list with this app last week and decided that any app that makes creating a grocery list … Continue reading →

Yarn Along: …with Evernote

This week as I link up with Ginny’s yarn along, I’m not contributing my knitting progress. Nope, I’m contributing a little techy tidbit that you will find super helpful in organizing your knitting patterns, etc. I find that when I’m visiting people’s sites and checking out their patterns, I often want to save them for … Continue reading →

The Motherhood Manual: How to balance a duck on your head while cooking a perfect soufflé

What?!? Those of you who know me well, know that there is NO WAY I ever balanced a duck on my head or had one within a couple feet yards miles of my head (I have a somewhat irrational fear of birds- but that’s a long unrelated post for another time) and you also know … Continue reading →

Happy to be…

I love mornings like this.

Saturday stuff

Today is the 112th day of the year. At least that’s what I get based on my knuckles method for calculating days in each month (You know, the big knuckles=31, divots between knuckles=30 except February=29 this year). Normally I don’t really think about how many days into the year we are, and I definitely am … Continue reading →

Writers are no strangers to stress. Many of us work full-time day jobs and write, or we balance a family and write, or we balance a family, a day job, and school, and write. There is just so much to keep up with, and few of us are…

App of the Week: Bump Pay

Many people have heard of Bump, a free app you can use to easily transfer pictures and contact information to another person simply by bumping your phone against theirs. It’s pretty cool; I like it partly because it has a satisfying little brrrrzzzz in your phone when it transfers, making it feel kind of like when … Continue reading →

Yarn Along: Spring is in the Air…

I’m sure you all will be glad to know that I finished both my little bunnies in time for Easter morning. I was pretty happy with how they turned out and the boys thought they were cute, so it’s all good. I took a picture of the bunnies next to the felted hearts I made for … Continue reading →

The Motherhood Manual: Poop happens.

Maybe it’s because I took my paid vacation last week. Maybe it’s because I just haven’t felt like my posts have been very inspired lately. Maybe it’s because it’s been awhile since I’ve written about poop. I’m not sure why, but for some reason I feel a need to smack you with another poop story. … Continue reading →

Gimme a break!

I’ve done a pretty good job of keeping up with my self-imposed posting schedule, but it’s just not going to happen this week. So, rather than spending the week putting out stuff I’m not happy with and feeling stressed about keeping up with my posts, I’m simply taking the week off. Yep. I have a self-imposed … Continue reading →
