1234 – making numbers for Birdie

Thumbnail image for 1234 – making numbers for Birdie

When I was making our advent calendar, Birdie only wanted to play with the little paper numbers I made for each of the pockets. To keep her occupied, I drew a couple of numbers on felt scraps – and realized we had a new toy! So I cut up a bunch of that gorgeous 100% [...]

Isn’t this always the way: after working hard for a couple of weeks, I take a couple of days “off” (ha, not completely, but you know what I mean!) and what’s the first thing that happens? I catch a bug. No, not the one flying around my reading lamp, but the kind that messes with [...]

unusual office accessories? you bet.

My “home office” in a corner of our downstairs is finally almost functional. A real desk, a very nice ergonomic chair, an iMac with a fatty monitor, and the work to keep me busy. (I won’t dwell on the entire wall covered in random storage items, or the 2 vacuum cleaners that will fit nowhere [...]

This week my sweet Birdie girl has returned to her true form. I swear last week I thought her third birthday had included some magical demon-child curse. As always, I am reminded that the only constant with a child is constant change. It’s as fickle and fleeting as her favorite toys. Is this true with [...]

I have this strange sense of discombobulation this week. It’s like the lack of routine from the holidays is finally catching up to me, and nothing quite adds up in a day. Does anyone else have this feeling? It’s also the nagging sensation that I have several New Year’s Resolutions sitting in my subconscious just [...]
