On Saturday, Anya had her first birthday party invite where she was solo.  Usually she has been invited along with Kailan to a party, but this time it was just her.  It was at a community center and they had […]

This time the dates were actually on the photos.  My mom was hoping I could fix the one of the band, but I don’t think I could do a good enough job.  Plus, it would probably take me loads of […]

Well, I was feeling a bit left out, so I decided to make some clothes for myself.  I haven’t shopped for me in quite awhile since I’ve gotten a little “fluffy” and don’t really want to buy a size up.  Instead […]

Last Thursday we had a snowstorm.  In about 6 hours we got 6 inches of snow.  For those that don’t know…that’s a very fast snowfall!  Some of my coworkers were out driving in it when it was coming down fast […]

Theme Thursday – Laughter Easy peasy! ***** If you don’t know what a Wacom is, it is a tablet mouse.  You use a special pen on a flat screen-like contraption and it functions as a mouse, but so much more […]

Most sewing mavens start out small.  I remember when I was younger, I would buy fabric and actually have a plan for what to make with it.  I would buy the actual yardage needed and only have a few scraps left over.  […]

It’s a winter wonderland again…until the next melt. Kailan is very happy I gave over custody of my 5 year old laptop to him and Anya.  I am very happy for all the free games on pbskids.com and nickjr.com.  😉  […]

Theme Thursday:  Summertime Memories Please remind me of warm days! ***** It started snowing yesterday around 3:30, which helped to cover the brown grass that had been exposed from a melting last week.  I’d honestly rather look at snow than […]

Do you know, I don’t remember my mom ever making a grilled cheese sandwich?  Why mommy, WHY???  She must have had something against American Cheese since we never really had it in our house.  Not to worry…you can make it […]
