Tuesday Morning Randomness

April 28, 2009 By Leave a Comment

The laundry, dishes, toys, and other clutter are taking over again. Every time I think I have things under control and am making progress something happens that causes things to build up again.

Kitchen Scissors

When I was a younger girl I went to a friend’s house for supper. Her mom used a pair of scissors to cut the homemade pizza she was serving. I had never seen anyone use scissors on food and it really stuck with me. Fast forward to having my first toddler who needed her food [...]

April 21, 2009 By 2 Comments

We added one more hen to our brood Saturday. My daughter named her Josefina after a hen that was in a book we read called The Josefina Story Quilt. Her addition gives us a total of four hens. I am not sure whether it was her addition to the pen that caused the hens to [...]

The Story of Stuff

April 20, 2009 By Leave a Comment

I am not someone who is overly political in public nor am I anti-government. I have opinions and ideas, but I generally try to not get into heated debates. However, the video I just watched called The Story of Stuff was really a good use of 20 minutes. So, if you are interested in a [...]
