Etsy Shop is Open for Business!

Finally!  First, let me say that there are only a few of many things to come listed right now.  Throughout the day & weekend, I will be trying to list more & more…..  I had some photography problems this week, so some items need to be re-shot.  Tomorrow is Mr. Max’s birthday, so we’re also [...]

A Quote for Tuesday

“The true measure of a person is how they treat someone who can do them absolutely no good”.
- Anne Landers

Wake up call

Wyatt has been teething for several weeks now- stomach & eye, all four at once.  He has not only been waking in the middle of the night, but he’s also been getting up for the day somewhere between 4 & 5 a.m.  Over the weekend, I think the last of the four finally broke through, [...]

Isn’t Pre-School great??

I used to be on the fence about pre-school.  After all, we’ve had to make a lot of sacrifices in order for me to be a stay at home mom,  it’s the main reason why we moved over 1,000 miles from everyone and everything we’ve ever known and loved.  I know I am still a fairly young parent, [...]

This week’s projects

In one fell swoop, I managed to break my blender, my favorite coffee mug, and put a good couple of nicks in our brand new counter top:

Tips

I know these have been around for a while, but my mom sent to them to me recently, &  I had never heard some of them before.  My apologies, I don’t know who the original author is, otherwise I would give credit where credit is due.  We haven’t tried all of these, but I can say [...]

Duh…

Ok, I should totally know better, but here’s what happened:
First a little background.
It all started when I was in college.  My first two years, I lived at home & commuted to school to save money, and avoid the need to borrow.  By the time my third year rolled around, I decided I really, really, really, wanted [...]

You rock!

Hey Everybody–
It’s been a fun first week of blogging so far, & I just wanted to post a great big thank you to everyone who’s been reading, leaving comments, emailing, and linking to me thus far.  The support is really encouraging, especially when I was feeling so nervous about putting myself “out there” in the first place…
I know [...]
