My husband is a good sport… I try to stay out of the kitchen as much as possible these days (yes, I’m still pretty pukey, but hopefully will feel better, soon!). So at my request, he made these cute “mummy dogs” for dinner last night. I have seen this kind of thing featured around the…
Busy day! Story time and a costume parade for my baby at the library this morning. My Halloween episode of Mom Time TV airs in just a few minutes (you can catch the uncut version at momtimetv.com, later, if you miss it). And tonight I am teaching a class on Thanksgiving Tips and Tricks for…
Miracle Worker Week ended with a celebration of my daughter’s second birthday. If you have read my blog at all, you know that I dream up elaborate birthday schemes for my kids’ birthdays, often a year or more in advance. Tessa’s birthday was no exception, except that as the birthday got closer, everything changed. And…
My episode of Mom Time TV aired today. I was at the United Nations Day celebration at my sons’ school (he was a knight from England and I brought British scones), so I missed the edited version on TV. I would love to know what got cut and what they said about me in the…
The miracle workers have gone back home. The kids are all back in school, and I have much to blog about, and a lot of upcoming insanity. I was so excited when I got a comment on my “Sneak Peek” post asking for more details about the solar system quilts. First, I was just excited…
So, on the off chance that any of you have been dying to see and hear me discuss my insanity, (and not just blog about it), Wednesday is your lucky day! I have started contributing to the Mom Time TV show, and my first episode is airing this week. Here is the preview of the…
I wanted to share a few shots to illustrate all of the insanity and industry going on around here this week. For those of you who don’t know, I call the weeks my parents come to town “miracle worker weeks,” because they come to work on my projects and they are good at what they…
Miracle Worker Week (the week my parents come to stay and help me work on projects) is in full swing! There is all kinds of insanity going on here! I’m getting excited to be able to show you some “after’s” soon, especially since it feels like I can’t get much of anything done lately, between…
Here’s where I am at with Halloween decorations, right now. It may get spookier before Halloween arrives, but I wouldn’t bank on it, since someone is turning 2, and the Miracle Workers are returning for a visit before then. It will be a busy October. Here is the outside. I have been waiting to put…
Well, the short version, anyway. I have a thing about family themed costumes. I don’t know how much longer the kids will play along, but I usually base the idea on something at least one of them is excited about. The parents are usually an accessory. I suppose I won’t be ruining any huge surprises…
