Those who know me well will find it comical that Im writing this post. Im not really a game person. Growing up, we rarely played board games, but we did get out Scrabble on occasion, and Ive always e...
I just want to add something here - an apology of sorts - if this post made any other mama feel overwhelmed in any way. My dear friend commented to me today that some people might feel worried that, ...
That, my friends, is Finns first legible letter. With all the hoopla and busyness that occurs every day at our writing center, his interest in all things letters and words has blossomed into a passio...
It was a good weekend. P.S. Lachlan started walking about a week and a half ago. Love the arms-in-the-air/young Frankenstein stage!
Were outside a lot. Outside or in the kitchen. There are quiet, inside moments spattered throughout our days, though. Ive been collecting a handful of fun games and activities to have on hand during ...
I very much enjoyed this interview with Sylvia Boorstein today while doing some sewing. I know youll like it, too ... Tangled up in thread, Meg
Were back from the beach! As always, theres a ton to do upon returning from vacation - bare cupboards to fill, a birthday celebration for my three year-old to plan and attend, gardens to weed, work d...
Lachlans first, Finns third, and Patricks thousandth trip to the beach. Each boy is loving it, and feeding off each others excitement and enthusiasm! Tomorrow we celebrate Finns birthday. Off to do s...
This is the top that I have lived in for almost a year. I designed it for myself last summer, and have made many tops since. Words cant express how much I love it! Its like a tee shirt, but...
It was a good day. A belated May Day celebration, followed by popcorn and smores with dear friends in our backyard - a day that makes you say "we should do that more often." Yes. We should....
Ive had the most calming, centering, beauty-filled book on my bedside table these past few days. Its Mayas creation - Reinvention: Sewing with Rescued Materials , published by Wiley. Im so happy to k...
Like the art closet, Ive had this writing workshop in the planning stages for many, many months. Originally inspired by my Playful Learning E-course and Mariahs wonderful book by the same name, it wa...
In 2005 Tracey and Henry started Turn a New Leaf as an outlet for their handiwork and a resource for families who wanted to lead simpler lives, leaving less of a footprint on the natural world - just...
Organizing art projects and their requisite supplies can be a daunting task. I know. Check out our art closet a few months after we moved into our house. It stayed like this for a while, just out of ...
The strawberries are early this year, and word has it that it will be a short season. We plan to take full advantage of it, though Im seriously scaling back my jam making this year. Maybe Ill just ma...
The boy and I did some sewing together this week! Head on over to Elsie Marley to see our rendition of the Flashback Skinny Tee, and sign up for Kids Clothes Week Challenge while youre there!
I have a lot of plates spinning in the air with Sew Liberated right now. Thought Id share a few in case youre wondering what we do around here when were not hosing off muddy boys: - We had a...
Were being far too serious here, Finn. What we should do is get our crazy on, like this: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! !!!! Screaming at the top of our lungs while covered in mud sure is fun, isnt it...
One of my favorite prints, "I Will Help You Grow" by Creative Kismet. Regina sent this to me before Lachlan was born, and I cant help but think that he grew red hair just so he could look l...
Is this as funny to you as it is to me? From my dopey response to his question to the fact that he isnt washing any dishes and doesnt remember what hes doing to Lachlan banging who-knows-what on the ...
Central Park, New York City Lachlan was pleased that his favorite toys, sticks and rocks, were available in New York City. Finn was equally tickled that we saw quite a bit of Micawber , the artist-sq...
Hello from Washington, DC, where weve come to protest the meanies whod like for insurance companies not to be required to insure children with preexisting conditions like our little Lachlan enjoy our...
A fun giveaway for you from Imagine Childhood - one of my go-to stores for finding quality playthings and activities for my boys. Among our recent purchases are the bird and bee garden sprinkles. Can...
I love the mystery of a seed that sprouts and grows into something beautiful. I want my boys to experience that in the garden. Sometimes, though? Sometimes my inner two year-old just wants some flowe...
Sometimes it works out perfectly, when one wants to be doing what the other one is doing. Sometimes it doesnt, but this time? Yes. I will choose to remember this. P.S. - We have a handful of patterns...
I almost forgot to show you Finns handmade birthday gift for Lachlan! I know you would have seen the shirt in photos eventually, and you would have wondered what the deal was with that crazy shirt, s...
The first day of my trip around the Sun, the first day of Spring. Nice that they coincide. Thirty one. Last year I was holding a baby who needed supplemental oxygen. This year I was holding the hand ...
Sheep! Seventy of them. The boys and I had a grand time at Stoney Mountain Farm during their sheep shearing festivities. The gracious owners opened their home to a good bunch of people, offering ente...
Looks like well enter Spring with the pedal to the metal, doesnt it? Happy weekending to you!
