Every weekend, Papa gets up with the girls and makes pancakes and/or waffles (sometimes, rarely, they have cereal).  Lately, he’s been letting me sleep in a bit and I found these pictures of the pancakes he made on my camera later in the day… How cool is that!? What an amazing Papa and husband!  Don’t […]

The other weekend was Cedi’s first ballet recital.  Cedi started taking ballet at the beginning of this year (I was the mom that forgot to sign my kid up when dance started in the fall).  I tried to get a picture of all three girls together…here’s what happened… Cedi LOVED ballet and I LOVED taking […]

The other day at my woman’s group the host made this delicious Rhubarb Dessert.  I requested the recipe at once and was given permission to share it with you all as well. EASY RHUBARB DESSERT ~Sue Karman 10 cup diced rhubarb (I found this growing wild by my fence line) 1 (3oz) pkg. strawberry jello […]

Here’s the 8th block for the Quilt Along – 4 Wheeler.  I did modify this a little bit… Instead of using all teeny tiny squares I made a few rectangles.  It really helped me make a more accurate block and I think the end effect is essentially the same. And here’s a photo of the […]

It’s a perfect rainy day out here.  The one that I used to cuddle up on the couch with a good book and a hot cup of tea.  Now that I have three kiddo’s with lots of energy – these days aren’t quite as peaceful as they were.  But I have managed to get all […]

One of the reasons I love to quilt is the beautiful fabric I get to use when I do it.  Not only that – but once the quilt is done I essentially have a whole new gorgeous piece of fabric.  Lately I’ve been dreaming of designing my own fabric and the website www.Spoonflower.com has made […]

  I bought a pair of adjustable roller skates at a garage sale a few weeks ago.  Cedi was really excited to try them out but I had to pick up some padded gear first.  Yesterday was her first day on her skates and she spent well over an hour on them – already well […]

LOVING Pip’s huge belly! I have so much I want to write for you all but this adorable little one is not really giving me ANY time at the computer!  I’ll update when I can

I actually have made lots of quilts in the last year so it was difficult for me to figure out exactly which one to share.  I finally decided on my quilt, ‘Owl Be Yours’ that I created for the ‘Be My Valentine’ Project QUILTING Challenge.   As I’m looking back on these post’s Amy was actually […]

Right after I had Cedi someone was on Oprah that could understand what a baby was saying with its cries.  I actually found that it really worked!  I had to just look these up to remind myself so I had some help with Pip: The basics: Neh means “I’m Hungry” Owh means “I’m Tired” Eh […]
