Ah Fall. Time for the various incarnations of squash. My favorite is butternut, but in my recollections from childhood I remember lots of acorn squash. We would get a half a baked squash on our plate with the inside filled with melted butter, […]
Anya: Everyone loves Will in my class. He’s cool. Mommy: Really? Why is Will so cool? Anya: Oh, you know…his hair, his body, his clothes…. At which point she stops and stares at her mother who is busting a gut and […]
In case you were unaware…I rather like shoes. I don’t quite think my collection is out of control (be quiet Brian), but I do have more than most people I know. I tend to like unique shoes. Like these lovelies!
I got some more sewing done for our little guy this weekend DESPITE having a head cold. He now is the proud owner of two more pairs of pants, so hopefully he will be set for a little while. A […]
At Mr. Daddy’s request…more food! This is a bit of a rich pizza, but oh…so yummy! It went very nicely with a Dashe Zinfandel. I’m sure one of these days I will tackle making a pizza crust from scratch…but this […]

Yes, yet another week has gone by and I have not sewed. Apparently, I’m busy….or something. I have photoshoots, the kids have soccer and there are other things that just seem to get in the way. Like reading smutty romance […]
Earlier this week Brian was away at a budget/strategy retreat for his company, so it was just me and urchins. This generally means our life is more rushed than normal, so Mommy tends to cut corners so she doesn’t go […]
The morning I took these pictures it was 46 degrees according to my car. A storm had just rolled through and the grass was nice and wet. While the air temp was cold…that was without the windchill. The fields where […]
