About a month ago, I was complaining about being deep in the motherhood trenches. Caught in a stagnant stretch where things seemed far too difficult and taxing than I had the resources for. I’m now safely free of it. I’ve always heard mothers say, “Oh it just seemed like he [fillintheblank] overnight!” And I always […]

It’s done. I did it. I got everything planted that I wanted to plant, and everything is taking off and it is miraculous. I’ve had a few learning experiences along the way, for some reason I cannot seem to grow a seedling in a pot but I’m going to keep working on that one, I […]

Right now I’m waiting for Atti to wake up from his nap so I can go out and grab some things I need for the backyard and some custom orders. I really hate running errands. Really hate it. And I’ll do whatever it takes to not have to return something – even if that means […]

I’ve been meaning to write up a pattern for this quilt for Atti’s entire life, but it’s OK that I put it off because now I have it to share for a day like today – between project finishes, working on stuff I can’t share, laid up with a bum knee. I’m sure you’ll recognize […]

I have to monkey around with the feed settings. Hopefully all the subscribers will come along for the ride without incident, but if you don’t hear back by Monday, will you please come back and update your feeds? I’d hate to lose anybody while I’m over here poking around.

Once we got Atti’s official Cerebral Palsy diagnosis, we had to start a whole new round of evaluations and state agencies. We just went this week to a school nearby where they have a huge therapy gym with equipment that would make your mind boggle, and a new Occupational Therapist and Physical Therapist put him […]

I wasn’t entirely productive yesterday, but I didn’t entirely slack either. I think I managed as close to a day off as I could while not making myself crazy with inactivity. It’s all because there is just no such thing as spectacular as San Diego in Spring. I’ve mentioned once or twice that I am […]

Bear had a super important thing today that involved being away from home until about 9 o’clock tonight, so he suggested dropping the baby off at Grandma’s so I could have a day to get caught up around the house. I hemmed and hawed – the thought of not having my baby or my guy […]

If you take bright red wool, a white corduroy background, and highly acidic cat pee, guess what you get. I had *just* finished the binding on my beaded tree skirt, piled it on my desk while I toyed with the idea of buttons, and one of my soon to be killed cats decided to make […]

Last week when I posted that video about Atti’s obsession with music, I got a couple questions about what he listens to, so I thought I’d share our favorites and hopefully hear about a few of yours. His go to music that never fails is anything by Elizabeth Mitchell. She’s amazing. She can turn anything […]
