There are almost 700 contests at Shannon’s Bloggy Giveaways tonight. I can’t stop. So many of them are for darling handmade items (the crocheted bonbons? the polymer clay pendants? the family tree print or the family name tile?). I just can’t stop. Forgive my bloggy silence, and head over there yourself to win some good [...]
Yesterday we had a lovely Sunday afternoon visit at Leigh’s house – Aunt R came too – to watch the kids run wild, and to play a few games with the grown-ups. It was so lovely, in fact, that when we got home at 10:15 pm (after arriving at Leigh’s at about 2:45 pm), [...]
We had a nice day today. BabyGirl slept straight through last night from 9:30 until 7:15, so we were all better rested. But I wasn’t prepared when JediBoy demanded an Art Project immediately after breakfast! So I sent him to wash up, and I plopped our empty plastic grape basket down on [...]
BabyGirl had us awake from about 2-3 am last night. She was crying and hard to console – we’re wondering if maybe her molars are finally starting to move in. She and JediBoy slept well after that but I was restless, so today has been a Do Nothing day. We’ve watched some videos and made [...]

It occurred to me that although I’ve been changing the books in my Book Basket (my librarything widget in the sidebar), by not posting about it, I’m not creating any permanent record for myself of what books we were perusing when. So I’m going to try to post about the book basket more often, [...]
To my loyal following, who today LOUDLY proclaimed I hadn’t blogged in a LONG TIME (3 days, since Thursday): here I am!
I was still not feeling very well on Friday, so we played it low-key and stayed home, read most of A House At Pooh Corner to celebrate A.A. Milne’s birthday, but didn’t make our [...]
I woke up with a terrible headache in the wee hours of the morning – one of the behind-your eye, into-your-temple, along-your-jaw, down-your-neck and across-your-shoulder ones that feels debilitating. Lucky for me, we had an activity planned at a local nature center this morning, so JediBoy had lots of fun with minimal involvement from [...]
