Cure for the winter blues

Truth be told, Little Sprout is weaning from breastfeeding. I’m one of those “green” momma’s that believes that nursing her really helps to boost her immune system and has gotten her through our awful cold and flu season.  The babe has only had 2 nasty little colds to speak of.  Even with her sisters having [...]

Oh Happy Day…

{Root beer floats…} {Fun field bags…} {crafting…} {and critters…} The Two Peas had a great birthday weekend and are sound asleep at the moment.  My fingers are also pooped or else I’d tell you all about it.  Later this week we’ll chat after I catch a few zzz’s myself and rest up, ok? Hope you [...]

Do I have to?

I think I do. I have to say, sorry. Sorry for complaining so much lately.  What the heck is wrong with me? When I read back over some of my posts lately I thought, geez, what a jerk.  What a stupid jerk.  What am I complaining about? My children are healthy.  I’m doing well.  I [...]

Felting a who with what?

My sentiments exactly. Being snowed in like we were last week…and over the weekend, and again this week…with the snow and the big flakes that won’t seem to stop (I think we are a little over 22″ for the week or so) encouraged me to actually try a few new projects like the crib sheet [...]

The date night that never was…

I’m feeling rather sorry for myself.  Stand by…because I’m about to whine in 3…2…1… I am never alone.  Except on my way to or from work.  I have a child attached to my hip at most times of every day.  And usually it’s more than one, it’s usually all 3.  Now, don’t take that the [...]

Happy Valentines Day!

Loads of snow dumped on us this week gave us just the excuse and time to do some sewing with the Two Peas.  They love it although one of them is a bit afraid of it.  She frequently reminds me of the scene in one of the American Girl movies where a child is sewing [...]

Um, hello? Why didn’t you tell me how easy this was?

I just want to know why you never told me how easy this was?  Seriously! Little Sprout has this problem.  She’s a tummy sleeper.  And about every other day, she wakes up with the front of her wet and she’s has to take a bath and I have to change her bedding.  So, I need [...]

How to keep a baby somewhat clean 101

Was this a class you registered for back in college?  Yeah, me either.  It’s one of those technical skill things you can’t learn in a book but must experience in real life, right? Yep…so this is pretty much my mess maker, Little Sprout. I had made a bunch of cute little bibs for her to [...]

Dan the Picture Man

Shortly after the twins were born, I got a phone call from “Dan the picture man” asking me if I’d like him to come out to our house to do in home portraits for our babies.  He offered a special deal for first time baby photos that I couldn’t resist. He has been photographing our [...]

Sew? Me? Why yes, yes I do. You?

Some of you sew.  Some of you don’t.  But if you don’t…is it fair to say you wish you did? I hear it all the time.  ”I wish I knew how to sew!”.  Seriously – anyone can sew!  And so, I’ve been teaching a few classes about once a month on some original and other [...]
