WIP's


Mason (4) has really been into writing lately. I'm very happy with his progress. He can write and spell our last name without help.

Yesterday he wanted to write "Sawyer." I handed him one of the baby's embroidered blankets. I'm not sure if the blanket was upside down or turned around or if he was reading it through the back, but that is how he wrote it. I told him it was gibber-jabber. That made him laugh.

We've been working with the baby to like floor playtime more. It seems to work in small spurts. One of his favorite toys is this bumble bee. It's actually a Duplo Lego, but it has a rattle in it. I'm not sure why. He loves it, so it's his.

And some time I'm going to work on a new spring bag. I am longing for spring and springy weather. We still have snow on the ground, but I'm hoping a new spring bag can convince Mother Nature to give in and warm up.

(And, as predicted, last week's WIP is still the same.)

Reusable Swiffer WetJet Cloths

Image
I promised myself that, when I bought a box of Swiffer WetJet refills at the wholesale club, it would be the last box I bought. Something had to be done. Now, to be honest, part of the reason was to help the environment, but the other part was because I was tired of running out of those darn things. I took some towels, folded them in half cut them into 5" widths. (The towel was just about 25" or so from side to side when flat.) Then I cut two 5" pieces of elastic and serged it all together. Two layers of toweling and two elastic strips. That's it. (The finished piece was approximately 4.75" x 12.") Within minutes I had a stack of eight. Slide them on and mop away. You will have a clean floor and have saved one more thing from ending up in the landfill. Now, if I can just do something about the cleaning liquid ... Something environmentally-friendly, economical, and won't cause further pain to my arthritic back.

39

It's that time of year again. The one that seems to come faster and closer every year. Yes, today I am 39. (That means I'm almost 40! Aaaahh!) To keep in tradition with years' past , I decided to do a list of things you might not know about me . (My best friend loves these posts, so this is in honor of her. You know who you are.) I ran 1 3/4 miles this morning. I gained 3-4 pounds after Sawyer weaned himself this year. Since starting to run, Joe has said that my thighs are "as tight as when we were first married." I didn't realize my thighs weren't tight. Hmmm. I guess six kids can do that to you. I need a new mattress. We bought our last mattress when I was in labor with Carter . That was ten years ago. We also bought a set of bunk beds that day. I want a new sofa. Actually two new sofas. I'm waiting until Sawyer is potty-trained. I'm planning on training him as soon as school lets out in June. Sometimes I plan ahead. Sometimes I procrasti
