Advent Begins Christmas is coming! I have been totally relaxed about Christmas this year. I was going to  follow a Count-Down-Calender to be super organized and unstressed. Turns out I don’t like actually following rules, directions or other people’s list (no matter how brilliant they are) when it come to the Holidays. We strung a [...]

The New HDTV So Neat Pete and I are buying an HDTV (I know…I wish I could say “bought”). I am trying to convince him that I could repurpose our old diaper table into a TV stand. Of course his common sense prevails to say…Let’s finish our current projects then we will see about other [...]

Climber So we have a little climber on our hands. Tables, toy boxes, baby gates, rocking chairs! You name it, Molly will climb it. I caught her on the table one day with her hand literally in the cookie jar. She is very strong not to mention strong willed even at 16 months. I gleaned [...]

Molly vs. The Washer

Patience is a Virtue The front loader windowed washing machine has been great. It substitutes for a fireplace during evening meals. Really, it is transfixing to watch the sudsy beast rotate around. Without a laundry room door we are often pulled into its gaze. Below is a photo of Molly lulled by the swooshing of [...]

Scraping Off Crud This week my heart felt like gunk. I can easily be discouraged which is odd because I find it so easy to encourages others. This week I tackled missed deadlines, family sickness and cold weather as I tried to get my heart up and running. I needed to give my gunky funk [...]

Trick-or-Treating Get-Ups The photos below were just taken this afternoon. I left my camera behind the evening of Halloween. Sometimes I just need to be in the moment and not behind the lens. Molly really “got” it when we took her out for trick-or-treating. She insisted that she go up to every door instead of [...]
