Making Christmas Cards with Children
Almost every year I try to get our kids involved in the making of our Christmas cards. It’s a HUGE job, but it ends up being less stressful when we all work on them together. Does that make sense at all? How can it be LESS stressful with young hands assisting? Well it is. And...

Inspired by SouleMama: A Friday ritual. A single photo – no words – capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember. If you’re inspired to do the same, leave a link to your ‘moment’ in the comments for all to find and see....

Cabin Life
What is cabin life? It is an escape from reality. It is a magical place where the only things that matter are sewing projects, movie watching, book reading, sitting by the fire, new crochet projects, bread making, drawing pictures of robots, eating good food (and drinking good beer), hanging out on the front porch, and...
A Major Purchase
This morning Michael and I became homeowners. Again. Four years ago we bought the home that we live in right now from Michael’s family. The home we live in was built in the early 1950s by Michael’s grandfather, it is the home that my father-in-law grew up in. Our house is a two-family home that...
Watch Me Grow!
It’s been a busy couple of weeks for Henry! On Monday he reached the nine month mark (that’s 75% of a year, and it makes me very very blue that he’s growing soooo fast). But that’s not all! In the past few weeks he has: Learned how to pull himself into a sitting position, Mastered...
Back to Reality
The last few weeks have been rather chaotic around these parts, to say the least. My children’s school festival was this past weekend, and I co-chaired the event with my good friend Amy. We had some crazy fun together putting on this festival, but it was very very time consuming, and energy draining, and maddening...
Bob & Alaska
These are Max’s adored pets. A dog named Bob and a “cat” named Alaska. You might think that the cat looks suspiciously like an Alaskan Huskie. But you would be wrong. It’s a cat. I’ve given up trying to prove otherwise. Alaska the “cat” was a gift to Max from Aunt Tessy on his second birthday,...

Welcome Fall!
I guess you might have noticed, many of my blog entries of late have been centered around fall. I love autumn, it’s my favorite season. I’m not a fan of heat and humidity…give me the cool, crisp days anytime! Soup, windows open, leaves crunching, sweaters…love it! The next best thing will be a fire in...
