  • Instant gratification for the day

    Instant gratification for the day

    While buying some items from my local Joann’s, I happen to walk by a display geared for making your own cloth diapers from PUL fabric.

  • Just the right view.

    I unexpectedly decided to return home early Monday morning. Mostly because once it came time to leave Seattle, I realized how tired I really was and felt it was better to not drive at night. Here’s the view of the Olympic Mountains as the ferry starts the turn for docking at Bainbridge Island. Don’t they…

  • Distracted

    Today at ECCC, I waited for autographs for Felicia Day and Quinton Flynn. Who would have thought that I would get sung too? Read on… It’s no secret that I’m good at getting lost and am horrible with names. Now, with that in mind how was I suppose to know that Quinton Flynn has voiced…

  • Achievement unlocked

    Last night I spent some time looking up the day’s events of the comic con schedule only to discover that we really could do both my niece’s birthday party and parts of the convention. The day started off with getting up a little too early, and it wasn’t even Quince’s fault this time. In fact…

  • A different kind of picky eater

    A different kind of picky eater

    Here at the kitchen table, sits Quince and I enjoying our lunch while I spend time updating my website(finally!). Admittedly, I don’t have my laptop at the table when we all sit together but in this case I had just gotten my food ready and sat down when he woke up from his nap. Go…

  • Another project!

    Another project!

    I just bought some sweet knitting needles from a friend and I couldn’t wait to start using them. Nevermind the fact that I have two other knitted projects going on right now, I have new needles calling! As you can see from the picture above, I started up a shawl with them. Goodbye reason and…

  • Keeping watch

    Keeping watch

    It’s been some time since I posted anything. Life has been rather busy these days and some of it was rather unexpected. Quince is generally a very happy tot. Back in November, he took interest in the toilet. For Christmas he received a toddler insert seat. That alone improved our ease and frequency of use.…

  • Jammy mess

    While I started this post some time ago, I just realized that I never actually published it. So here you go, the story of my jam mess. Summer berry wonder! I was invited to go and pick berries with a friend who is garden sitting for another friend of her’s. Holy harvest batman!! I was…

  • Happy New Year!

    I hope that everyone had a great holiday season. Our Christmas was very nice, we spent the 25th in Tacoma with Richard’s side of the family. That weekend we hosted a dinner for my side of the family. For both it was a lot of fun to have all the cousins together. At Alicia’s Quince…

  • Q’s first honor!

    Q’s first honor!

    Our certificate arrived right after Thanksgiving! What a range of goodies too; including a guide on National Parks for kids, a calendar, a lanyard and Buddy! Thanks again to everyone at the National Park Trust. We now have Buddy in each car posed and ready for any moment an adventure might present itself. In other…
