My New Doo

Don’t you just love it! I think it is a good sign when after you get your hair cut you want to try on everything in your wardrobe to see how it will look with your new hair. This new hair wants me to wear black v-necks and wide leg linen pants. [...]

Haircut Today

> check out my hairbrained blog.
This is Sienna Miller. I like this cut. I’m really tired of my long hair. I want to cut it shorter for the summer. This is the shortest option.
This is the designer Lotta Jansdotter. I like this messy hair and I like the idea of wearing [...]

Earth Day

I don’t have any pictures from my Earth Day brunch. I was too busy enjoying my company. Luckily, I have this picture of a drawing that Doug did at school. It works very nicely as my Earth Day illustration.
Why Earth Day felt like many other holidays:
- I ate too much. Not [...]

Earth Day Wish

This coming Sunday is Earth Day. I’ve invited a few friends over to celebrate. We are going to have a pot-luck brunch. I was kidding with my old boss about how I’m really looking forward to Earth Day because there is no gift giving or candy involved. He asked me — [...]

Homemade Bubble Maker

Have you ever seen one of these? Alex and I went to the library for story time. A little while afterwards the librarian gave out a couple of these bubble makers that she had made herself.

What I Love About Alex

He lets me dress him in striped shirts and checked pants.
He has a sweet tooth as big as mine (maybe bigger) so he’s always up for a visit to the local cafe for a very fine cupcake.

Happy Birthday Banner

I’ve wanted to make a fabric banner for a long while. I made this one out of wool felt and fabric scraps. I wanted to have it done for Alex’s birthday last month but it was one of those projects that you are eager to start but never really interested in finishing. You [...]

Gym Dandy

Let’s just say that Alex doesn’t love when I drop him at the in-house daycare at the gym. Lately he has been putting up quite a fuss. I want to keep going to the gym so for right now we are working out together. We go to the basketball court and run, [...]

Digging Rocks

This past Sunday we all went to Granny’s house for lunch. It was yummy. Especially the fresh crushed almonds over vanilla bean ice cream. After lunch, Grumpa showed the boys his rock collection. The boys really dug it.

Sylvia van Ommen

I’m just wild about Sylvia van Ommen. I got out a book she wrote and illustrated from the library. It is called jellybeans. The illustrations are so simple and beautiful. It is such a lovely story about a cat and a bunny who meet in the park to have a snack [...]
