Until Next Year

This is what it looked like on my way home Friday…A winter wonderland.

Yes, I know it’s not very smart to take pictures while driving in the ice and snow. I promise I just held up the camera and clicked a couple of times. I thank the good Lord for getting me and all of my [...]

Handmade Christmas

I’d like to say I finished everything I set out to make this Christmas but that would be a lie.. There are two projects that were started but have yet to be finished..The Ice Cream quilt, of course.. and then there’s the Christmas ornaments that still need embroidering and stuffing. But in any case, I [...]

How Many Snowballs Till Christmas?

Oh, The Weather Outside..

If I hadn’t been so busy I would have curled up on the couch with my hooks and some yarn. Instead we went: present shopping, B-day party, to see some Christmas lights, house cleaning, a friends house, grocery shopping, cooking, laundry, homework, shower and finally bed. [...]

One Groovy Chic

I’m not exactly sure how or when Goose came up with the idea of being a Hippie for halloween but this is the outcome to her thoughts…

This was all her idea: Cute little braids with colorful beads.. a ribbon headband.. tie-dyed fleece shawl.. peace purse.. blue jean bell-bottoms with painted graffiti.. and of course, peace [...]

Struggling?

For all of the mamas out there that would rather struggle yourself than to see your kids struggle, know that I’m with you. Now, don’t get me wrong.. there are struggles worth fighting.. the life changing kind.. but learning your multiplication tables shouldn’t be life changing.. If you have a child who is struggling to [...]

Some Things Change..And Some Don’t

As you can see Goose & Zoe have taken full advantage of the “lazy” in Lazy Days of Summer. But it’s just about up.. This was Goose’s last week of freedom.. Monday she’s back to school. Summer flew by. I feel as though it’s the first week instead of the last…And the sad thing is [...]
