Our house smells like paint
And I kind of like it. Don’t worry, the house is well ventilated. We’re lucky this week is our paint week because our temps have been in the low 80s with wind, so we’re able to open all the windows in the house and turn the fans on to keep the air circulating. Please don’t [...]

Mama would be proud
We’ve begun the purging and packing process of moving. I am planning a garage sale for March 21st or 28th (who knows? maybe both weekends).
So I’m going through the house, room by room, and getting rid of things that don’t fit, we don’t use or need. I’ve finished Kait’s room (with exception of her clothes [...]

Progress
I am determined to be positive.
We got some news last week that we weren’t exactly expecting or wanted. It seems that the job here in Austin fell through due to transfer issues. I’ve repeated the how’s and why’s so many times that I just don’t have the strength to do it again (especially since I’m [...]

Monday
So starts another week. Not much to say today. We (Steve and myself) are going on a field trip with Dom’s class to The Austin Science & Nature Center today. I’m taking my camera (new camera…Steve got me a DSLR for Christmas, I’ve just yet to really gush about it…it’s awesome) in hopes of getting [...]

Incoherent
I promise a decent post is coming soon. I’ve just been so worn out lately. This week and next week I’m working 6 days, so all of my energy has been focused on getting myself to work, my duties at work, driving myself home, and keeping my eyes open long enough to eat some dinner [...]

So, I’ll be 17 weeks tomorrow and I’m already extremely eager to meet this little guy. I won’t find out for at least 3 more weeks whether we’re having a he or a she, but I’m really not that worried about the sex. I just want a healthy baby. This is our last baby, so [...]

Enjoying the sun
There’s nothing like a beautiful sunny day with temps in the low 60s to get you in the productive mood.
There’s broccoli, lettuce, roma tomatoes, strawberries, pumpkin, & cantaloupe so far. I would’ve planted more, but I ran out of potting soil. The hubs has taken on a wonderful excitement for growing our own food and [...]

A jumbled post
I don’t know if I’m blogging too early, or if it’s just that I haven’t had enough coffee, but my mind is feeling a little muddled. I have a couple of pictures that I want to share with you all and hopefully I’ll be able to form coherent sentences to chat about each one.
Dominic brought [...]

On the needles
I promised last week that I would share what has been on my needles.
I know I’ve said this before, but I just love self-striping yarn. I find it so magical. It keeps projects that can get monotonous, like this one with its endless rows of stockinette, interesting. I get so excited to see the next [...]
