Is it too early to start thinking about Christmas gift projects? Go ahead, wipe the coffee off your computer screen, I’ll wait… I actually have plans for almost everyone on my list, and materials for most of those projects too. I knew there was a reason that I built such a large fabric and yarn [...]
Wow! Three entries in one day – can you stand it? Anyway. Earlier this evening Carrie and I were sitting on the couch together watching one of her Signing Times videos while Denis was working on dinner. In fact, in a weird coincidence we were watching the Silly Pizza Song segment while he was making [...]
I just finished Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. I don’t want to give anything away, so I’m just going to say that I’m very sad. It was a good book, but not a happy one. One more book to go before we find out how it all ends.
Last night wasn’t such a good night for Carrie. She woke up around midnight, and no amount of rocking, diaper changing or nursing was working to get her back to sleep. Denis even tried rocking her for a while, and then we finally gave up and brought her to bed just so we could get [...]
I picked up my copy of the new Harry Potter book at 11 this morning, but I still haven’t had a chance to start reading it yet. When Carrie goes down for her afternoon nap in an hour or so, though, I’m not going to wait another second longer!
When will the drivers around here realize that the “new” left turn arrow (it’s been up for 6 months) near the mall is different from the old one? Every single time I’m at the head of the line and there’s a red arrow I get honked and screamed at when there’s a gap in the [...]
I just can’t seem to catch enough sleep lately. Carrie’s actually been doing pretty well, sleeping almost through most nights, but I’ve been dragging. It probably doesn’t help so much that I stay up a bit late, but 11 to 6 with at most only one short interruption ought to be enough for anyone, right? [...]
Despite the fact that I’ve known for three weeks that the carpet cleaners are coming tomorrow, of course I didn’t remember until this evening that it meant I’d need to pick everything movable up off the floors of three rooms and a hallway and vacuum those areas. Everything is done now except the vacuuming and [...]
They are like manna from heaven, apparently. I thought Carrie really liked the Gerber fruit and vegetable puffs we’d been giving her, but Cheerios must be even more yummy. We’ve been giving her a lot more foods and experimenting more with finger foods. She loves to eat. (She’s definitely related to my family!) And with [...]
Carrie, Nana, Poppy and I all took a drive to the outlet mall near us. I hadn’t been there in about 6 years, but I’ll definitely be going back soon. They had a Children’s Place outlet and a Coldwater Creek outlet, but best of all…? There’s a Carter’s outlet! I love Carter’s clothes for Carrie, [...]
