A nice visit
We had my mom and dad in town for a week-long visit a couple of weeks ago. It was such a nice visit with lots of trips to Hobby Lobby (Dad loved their train department haha) and wonderful, much-needed help from my mom (and dad) with unpacking the house. That woman is a machine, I […]

Baby Love
We are all settling in surprisingly well so far. Of course, I haven’t set up a schedule yet that includes housework, but it’s only been a week, so I think I’m doing alright. The dishes and laundry get done; the kids are bathed, fed mostly wholesome meals and happy; the puppy is taken care of […]

Little gardener
Please pay no attention the sickly nature of our plants. The Houston heat has not been very nice to them. I am in the process of preparing an area on the window seat in our bedroom for them. But until that happens, Kaitlin waters them for me every day. Look at that chubby little arm […]

Our past week in photos
Lunch picnics under makeshift tents in the living room. The quilt she’s sitting on…$6.50 at the thrift store. Looove it. Frequent, but short, trips outside to play with the puppy. Just for the record, I did let her in after I took the picture. I just love the way she holds her; almost like cradling […]

Banana Bread
I’m not sure what deal is with all the baking, but I was at it again Saturday. We had some fairly riped bananas and I really hated to throw them out, so I dug out my favorite banana bread recipe and whipped these up in no time. And just in case you wanted to try […]

Yum
Can Kristen bake bread from scratch? I chose Elizabeth’s recipe to start out with. Her instructions seemed very clear and basic. Just what a beginner needs. 🙂 I decided that since I was going to make a mess of my kitchen, I might as well make a double batch. I wanted to mix the dough […]

My summer wardrobe
Tank top and gaucho’s…gotta love it. Oh yea…and I’m 33 weeks today. You can’t see her, but Kait is actually standing behind me trying to get into the bathtub. Yea, that did wonders for my self-esteem…haha. And because I just want to eat her sometimes: gotta love the milk beard and bitter strawberry face.

More ramblings
I’m not much for words today. Truthfully, my mind is in my sewing room (slash Steve’s office too, but that’s not the important part right? I have a sewing space all my own) and on all the fabric I’ve acquired yesterday and today. I have lots of things I want to make and I’m in […]
