I half expected to be bored for 3 hours at my stepson's graduation yesterday, as I was at my own high school graduation 18 years ago. Let's face it, I was even bored at my college graduatio...
When I think about what I want out of life, the word that often comes to mind for me is "balance." But I wonder if that's just another way for me to try to have it all, in a way that g...
One thing I love about the Take Twelve year-long photography challenge is that I have a reason and a deadline, once a month, to take pictures of whatever is going on that day. It's so easy to ge...
Today I realized again just how important it is to write. And to write in the moment. I just stumbled across a post I wrote exactly one year ago today, The End of Infertility? And yes, those words ar...

I was on the Paperclipping Roundtable this week with Noell Hyman, Nancy Nally, Izzy Hyman, and May Flaum. Our topic? Procrastination (or proscraptination if you please). It's a fun listen! Also,...

As I was posting yesterday's link to the Kony 2012 movement, I glanced at my blog "dashboard" and noticed that it was my 365th post! It's like that moment when you glance at your ...
I sat down to post links to our latest Books & Crafts episodes, as season two is now three weeks underway. But as I went to post my links to Facebook and Twitter to spread the word, I came across...
On Leap Day, my frustrations runneth over. But I'm already laughing about it--and not in the half-crazy way I was cry-laughing about it yesterday. Leap Day did get better from there, despite a l...
It seems that this "extra" day, this February 29th that only comes around every four years, is cosmically cursed. Everything was going along swimmingly until 12:30 last night (technically t...
Our plans for an anniversary getaway were interrupted by a sick little baby, who, when the 24-hours-in-advance deadline arrived to either cancel or keep our reservation, was the sickest she had ever ...
Of the four family members I roped into the Take Twelve photography challenge, just two of us have completed our pages so far. And that's okay! The important part is to take the photos. Pages ca...

Yesterday, on January 12th, 2012, I took twelve photos of my everyday life, and I printed them for my forthcoming scrapbook page for January. Here they are, awaiting some paper, glue, and all that ot...
If you've been to my house at any point in the past 7 years, you'll be shocked to learn that I, Angie Hill Lucas, deliberately put several nail holes in several of my walls in the last few ...
Yes, I'm serious. I gave someone a plush uterus. My sister had hers removed earlier this month, so I sent her a new one! She loved it. And it's giving her far fewer problems than her previo...
