A Gorilla

in the making.

This just might redeem me as Mother of the Year. We'll have to wait and see ...

Happy weekending, friends.

Very neato! My kids aren't requesting anything. I think they're going to use the jedi robes that I made last year.

Today is my second blogiversary . I have been jabbing my jaws for two years now. Two years. Time has flown by. I've had my blog longer than I've had Sawyer in my life, which seems totally weird because it feels like he's always been a part of my life. I have enjoyed documenting my thoughts and crafts, but, most of all, my family. It's amazing how much I have forgotten until I read some of my older posts. I have also loved meeting bloggers and seeking inspiration from their work. This crafty community is where it's at. You're a kind and generous bunch. As a token of my appreciation to my readers, I am offering a giveaway. I will be giving away not one, but two , things in honor of my second blogiversary.

Comment on this post and either: 1 - Tell me which post of mine was most memorable to you. (It can be a c...

A Spring Walk

We live in a small town. I always thought I was a big-city gal (in my all-black, punk days), but now that I'm a mom, I'm definitely all about small towns. We don't have mail delivery to our house, so we have to pick up our mail at the post office. On days I don't have to go anywhere, I usually don't check the mail. It usually equates to only checking the mail about 3 times a week. Pretty pathetic. Even more so because we only live a few blocks from the post office. Yesterday was so nice, I decided to take the children out for a walk. Apparently Spenser was excited, because she got all dressed up for the occasion. A crown , a smocket , and a purse. She even pushed her favorite baby in her shopping cart. When the sidewalk changed from brick to cement, she carried her shopping cart over the hump. We passed the local fire station and peeked at the trucks. The children never grow weary of the fire engines. We even had a good mail day! Karyn sent some Cadbury Popping Min...

She's Gone

I am just returning from hospice. My grandmother passed away tonight. With her four daughters, sons-in-law, and most of her sixteen grandchildren at her bedside. My father offered a prayer in her behalf, and after the prayer she took her final breath and left this world. Peacefully. Comfortably. And much loved. We will think of you often, Mom-Mom . We will love you forever. We will see you again. (Please tell Kristen that I love her.)
