Thursday, 6:26 p.m. I sometimes wonder what homework time looks like for the families of the other kids in Kennedy’s class. Here’s what ours looks like: Juice stained face, half worn-off temporary tattoo and all. Read more about my perfect moments here.

I had a great idea. I really love those round rattan place mats that everyone has, but I sometimes have pretty large groups for dinner, so I would want to get about 10 or 12. With the cost of them, it just didn’t seem like the smartest investment right now. I started thinking about other […]

I love my twine. You know I do, and I use it for everything. Kennedy and I decided to try making a little bowl out of it the other day, just to see what would happen. Well, this is what happened! It turned out amazingly well and it’s pretty sturdy too. The making of it […]

So, I used to do this series of posts on my old blog called “A Perfect Moment”, and I really enjoyed them. Cause they were cool. So I’m going to do them again from time to time. I think it’s good to recognize these perfect little happenings in our lives and maybe save them for […]

Oh man. It is so cold right now. Temperatures this week are plunging around here. Let’s look back on happier times, shall we? These photos were taken last week, which show a huge change from the photos I showed you that were taken just a week before. Nature is fun! The shrubs need trimming, the […]
