Yarn Along: Felted hearts

This week as my contribution to Ginny’s yarn along, I am showing off my cute little felted hearts I made. I’m excited about these since my last few weeks of knitting haven’t turned out final products with which I’ve been very happy. These hearts, though, are adorable and were really fun to make. The pattern … Continue reading →

Will you marry me? ….um, I think so.

Yesterday I wrote a little love fest for me. Today, though, is supposed to be about sweethearts and true love and mushy mushy kissy kissy, so… There you have it. There’s my guy. We got married almost 18 years ago, after dating off and on for four years. Jason stuck it out through a whole … Continue reading →

The Motherhood Manual: How I’ve brain-washed my kids

Today I decided to do a bit of a departure from my traditional Motherhood Manual post, and I asked my kids if they think I’m a good mom. Ha!

Wait… something’s different

For those of you who’ve been viewing my site on an iPad, the site should look a little different now. I took away the special iPad view format with the “swipe” option. I’ve been playing around with the settings and menu options a bunch, but just can’t get it all to show correctly on the iPad view. … Continue reading →

The Motherhood Manual: *#%! …I’ll see you tomorrow!

I sat up in bed, slammed my hand down on the bedcovers to my left, and yelled *#%! (which I can tell you is a REALLY bad word that I pretty much never say). I got out of bed, grabbed my robe, and barely glanced at my bewildered husband as I stomped into my baby’s room to … Continue reading →
