Calico

So I’ve got a whole bunch of posts I want and need to write, but for this moment, I need to say something about a REALLY cute crafty-ish blog I ran across yesterday:  Calico.  She makes these adorable things for children, and I really want to win her giveaway this week, so I thought I’d [...]

New Neighbor

So as I was cleaning my house on my birthday, I opened my front door to do something, when my mom noticed a giant spider hanging out on our doorway… He (or probably more likely she) hung around for a while, then disappeared yesterday. Too bad, I was really liking having him stay in [...]

Janey is Six Months!

Sometimes I can’t believe Janey could possibly be so old–the time has really just flown by since she was born.  She has been such a peaceful little baby, and has done wonders towards easing my nervousness about having more than one child.  I love her little laugh, her squeals and her smiles, and her latest [...]
