Hello November! I had grand ideas of trying to do the blog post a day like some people I know (and admire them for doing it!) or even a daily gratitude entry for the month of November. But, all of a sudden it's midweek and I finally have my thoughts together (and some time) to… Continue reading Belated.

Sweater Weather.
We're really getting into those "fall in New England" sort of days - cool in the morning and evening, sunny and pleasant during the day. There is rain in the forecast, but that's fine. I'm loving being back in long sleeves and handknit socks. My own sweaters could use a refreshing, so, on to the… Continue reading Sweater Weather.
Distractions
Lately I've been distracted by other things than what's on my needles - I'm enjoying working on my bat shawl and on my Trellis and Vine sweater, but I'm heeding the call of other projects. Exhibit 1 - I can crochet! Is this the dark side? I can do a basic chain, single crochet and… Continue reading Distractions
Back Up The Roller Coaster
It's all good and perfectly normal (and according to others who have commented) I can expect more of the same when it comes to Lorelai and her mood / actions / whatnot. I don't want my blog to become a place of all venting or whining. Here's what happened the rest of yesterday. After she… Continue reading Back Up The Roller Coaster
This I Believe.
Hello "Terrible Twos". It's another day with the toddler. Today she nearly melted down in the grocery store (we compromised and she walked around the store and helped pick items off the shelf. She's no longer content to sit in the cart at all and snack and watch the world go by.) We came home… Continue reading This I Believe.
llama llama mad at mama
(We took this book out of the library today - very cute story, love it! - even though the dress is merino / silk yarn and not llama, that's all I can think about after the photo shoot.)Pictures speak thousands of words. Words such as: It's been a long day - Dan's off to Long… Continue reading llama llama mad at mama
Bits of Stuff (there’s knitting this time!)
The weather has turned nice, and then WAY too hot, and now it's back to nice again. I introduced Lorelai to the sprinkler to give her a good soaking (maybe not the best mom move ever - she's been a bit under the weather this week, running warm, but not feverish - sure, let's get… Continue reading Bits of Stuff (there’s knitting this time!)
Assume Nothing at Home or Abroad
This latest stretch of blog silence was brought to you by my vacation to Martha's Vineyard. We (me, Dan & Lorax) spent a week in a house with 8 other adults and one child. Dan went to college with and roomed with 3 of the guys who were there, the 4th guy went to my… Continue reading Assume Nothing at Home or Abroad
Crayola Joy
Color me excited, my baby used crayons! We had a little playdate at our house yesterday. I pulled out crayons and paper for the older little girl who was coming over, but the Lorax was taken with them. So I put her at the table and she sat and colored for 20 minutes! She did… Continue reading Crayola Joy
15 months and a FO
(When she got up this morning she immediately picked up the baby doll and put on the lei. Pure sunshine.)There is no 30th of February, but Lorelai is now 15 months. Fantastic! We have a healthy, happy, and active toddler on our hands. Still not talking a whole lot, but she can communicate what she… Continue reading 15 months and a FO
