Do you know what we did this summer?

Its no secret that I am further behind on my blogging than I have ever been before. The thought of catching up one post at a time was quite daunting, and just pretending like the last several months never happened (and not blogging about them at all) didn’t seem right either. So, I went through […]

Spencer’s First Haircut

September 26th, 2009 · 5 Comments · domestic attempts, spencer

At the end of July (nearly 2 months ago now), I gave Spencer his very first haircut! I sat him on a towel in the sink and had an array of objects he could hold, hoping that it would keep his attention long enough to get the job done. It almost worked. He actually really […]

Character Pancakes

August 5th, 2009 · 4 Comments · domestic attempts, family, food, random

Since you all asked… I went ahead and posted my dad’s recipe for Pantry Pancakes on The Slotted Spoon. You’re welcome. It should be noted that the character pancakes from my “Grandpa’s Pancakes” post can acutually be made with any pancake batter, as long as its thin enough to flow from the tip of the […]

Make Your Own Kind of Music

March 26th, 2009 · 6 Comments · dave, domestic attempts, food, random

I mentioned a couple of posts ago that we had a Dharma-themed ‘party’ for Dave’s birthday. I use the word ‘party’ pretty loosely since it was a rather intimate group – Dave’s not really into big parties. Sunday night we invited one of Dave’s good friends over. We visited, had dinner, sang, had Dave open […]

I *AM* Bakerella

March 19th, 2009 · 4 Comments · domestic attempts, food, random

Ok. So, I’m not really Bakerella. But I assume you already knew that. She’s amazing. Her cake pops, cupcake pops, cupcake bites, and basically everything else she makes is awesome. She is incredibly talented, and I love to look at her site and pretend I could make such cool looking things. If you haven’t visited […]

Making Friends

March 17th, 2009 · 4 Comments · bridget, domestic attempts, random

A few weeks ago I was looking for a fun project Bridget and I could do together, and I found myself on this website that has really cool paper dolls that you can download and color. I particularly like them because the dolls looked like young kids (or babies) rather than grown-up looking teens. The […]

Button trouble

March 3rd, 2009 · 2 Comments · dave, domestic attempts, random

This is a picture of the button on Dave’s pants. (Or at least half of it) He came home the other night and asked me if I could fix a button for him… usually when he asks that, the button is really loose or missing. This was unexpected. And pretty random and odd, if you […]
