Worlds Most Basic Quilted Coasters
July 16, 2008
One of the biggest adjustments for me in moving into this house was going from nasty crappy apartment carpeting to hardwood floors. There are so many things about having no carpeting that is just fantastic – especially to someone with OCD and three long-haired cats. I geek out on a regular basis about just how […]

After Atticus’ blessing, a lady came up to me to talk about how cute he was. This by itself was nothing out of the ordinary. Excuse me while I brag, but strangers are constantly stopping me to comment on my beautiful baby. I can’t get through Target without getting stopped in every other aisle, and […]

My little snugglebug here has entered a phase where he must be cuddled at all times. If he is awake, I’m holding him. We have all the latest in infant motion technology including a vibrating bouncy seat, a vibrating pack and play, and a super deluxe swing that is so advanced it has an ipod […]

My friend Jess is so darn on the ball. She’s already sent Atti two big packages, meanwhile her little Junebug is already a year old and I’ve done absolutely nothing. She sent the cutest little board book all about cats, and some of the pictures look exactly like my own cats. Then the other day […]
