Remember my last post about sewing machines? Yeah, I didn’t last a week after all. I went back and bought it the next day. I haven’t blogged about it because I’m still trying out all the features and figuring out what I like and what I don’t; and besides there’s so much other stuff going […]
Overheard at the apple-picking farm, as one nine-year-old girl imparted the wisdom of life to another nine-year-old: “You know, people are like apples. They can look beautiful on the outside, but… when you taste them, they’re disgusting.”
This is the mei-tai that I made after going to a baby-wearing class sponsored by the local La Leche League. Lots of other moms brought lots of other baby-wearing (hands-free baby-porting) devices, and this was one of my favorites.

Jon Stewart is apparently a bit ticked off at the language of those of the republican campaign. You must go see this video. No really, it’s funny. Go see it. Don’t skip it just because I wot not the ways of embedded video.

J is a carb addict and always needs to be munching on something while he geeks around with his computer, be it healthy (trail mix) or be it made from death-inducing-chemicals (Doritos). And since we still have a mini mountain of apples in our kitchen (did I mention? 108 pounds?), I’m looking for ways to […]
My parents have sponsored a trip to the West Coast in order for them to spend some time with their rapidly-aging granddaughter – yay! SofÃa needs some things before being thrust into the cold winds of the Pacific, though: like, say, a hoodie sweater. (Maybe the one I bought material and pattern for a month […]
This is really, really making me rethink our no-costume-this-year decision. Now, if only we had a Halloween party to go to so I had an excuse to make it after all… (More cute group costume ideas – sans pics – at Ask Metafilter.)
I think she saves it up for when I say nice things to her. (Because really? Two whole hours after she’s eaten? Shouldn’t she, like, not have anything in her stomach anymore? I’m onto you, baby.)
