This year’s Halloween was a blast as usual. The kids have been wearing their costumes for weeks since I was finished with them super early this year.
Augie was Anakin Skywalker- he cracks me up posing like that! For his costume, I made the bottoms with a pj pant pattern and for the shirt I simply [...]

We had to go slow on our last trip. Back troubles are keeping us from driving for more than 45 min at a time. (Did you know that you are not supposed to sit for more than 45 min at a time? Try it on your next roadtrip.)
I loved it though. We stopped places [...]

Cut it down or keep some for the birds…
I think he’s going to cut it down. (Do you see him up there hanging on for dear life?) Hopefully his chance of survival is greater that way.
For those who know our backyard, you understand what a big deal this is. Chris has wanted this birch down [...]

We need a little of this:
I have a ton of things to share with you, but my camera seems to forget to take pictures after something is made. I’ll try to catch up on some projects when I return. Have a happy week!

Livvie took a 4-hour nap so I was able to spend just about the entire day outside. We started off the day getting a load of dirt from our favorite dumping ground- Grimm’s. We took our [...]

I’ve had these african violets, christmas cactus and rosary plant for years. I don’t know why, but they like me. They bloom all the time, require very little maintenance and water- we get along well. [...]

My blog is one! Wow. I totally missed my blog anniversary which was March 13th. I can’t believe it’s been a year already. I remember the night I discovered the world of blogs. What an eye-opener this new world has been for me. I have loved every minute of [...]

So have you planted your peas?
We had a great day on Sunday. We actually made it to Mass which is really an event in this house. I hope we can continue and make it more often. It feels good and I think it’s important for the kids and of course, for us. [...]

My little boy has become a t-shirt designer:
Augie drew this drawing of Great Grandpa. Chris added the lettering and screen printed the whole image on t-shirts for all 16 great grandchildren.
We gave these away when we had this year’s double-Augie birthday party.
I think they turned out wonderful.
Chris has gotten pretty good at these over [...]
