App of the Week:  Packing with Evernote

App of the Week: Packing with Evernote

This is not the first time that I’ve written a post featuring Evernote. I’ve extolled (I don’t get to use that word very often) it’s virtues as an organizer of recipes and magazine articles. I’ve written about how I’ve used it to organize my knitting patterns. In addition, Evernote was the app I wrote about … Continue reading

Apps of the Week: House Hunting Apps

Apps of the Week: House Hunting Apps

I currently have nine apps on my iPad and iPhone that I have been using (a lot!) in this process of looking for where we want to live in Portland. Rather than highlight each of them separately in their own weekly reviews, I decided to combine them all into one here today. Even if you … Continue reading

Decisions, decisions…

Decisions, decisions…

We made a decision. We chose House number one. We made an offer Friday before we left town. It was really pretty crazy how fast things moved. We left the appointment with the realtor, went to the two bedroom apartment above Whole Foods, and then to lunch, where we had a burger and a beer, … Continue reading

Yarn Along: I’m not a summer knitter

Today’s Yarn along post is the non– yarn along… We are on spring break and I had good intentions of getting lots done on my Churchmouse linen scarf. However, the lure of the water and the sunny playtime with my family pulls me to the pool and away from my knitting. That’s a good thing … Continue reading

Life is Good

Life is Good

Life is good. It just is. There are things that we wish were different in our lives and we always have hopes and dreams. But as it stands right now, if none of those things ever happened, our life is still pretty darn good. At the time this will post, we will already be sitting … Continue reading

App of the Week: Audible

App of the Week: Audible

My app this week is a free one called Audible. Audible.com, as described on their site, is “a premier provider of digital audiobooks and more.” The way audible works, you sign up for a membership which allows you to use credits for free books or purchase books at a discounted rate. There are different tiers … Continue reading
