turtle sundress
One of my favorite blog authors has a new pattern on her website: simple sundress.
It’s so cute I just had to make one right away. It’s like a pillowcase dress but with a wide sash that is tied on the side. M is so excited to wear it that she is jumping around the room. [...]

pickles to pittsburgh
Hey did you know there is a sequel to Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs? It’s called Pickles to Pittsburgh. I can’t believe it’s been around for 10 years and I never knew it. The reviews on amazon are crappy but we really like it. The first book is one of my all time favorites [...]

hostage
I went into JoAnns to pick up a loaner machine. I now have a Singer 7470 as hostage until my machine is returned. Yeah, I didn’t tell them I have another machine but I wanted to make sure they felt extra bad that I don’t have my Viking. I was skeptical about the new Singers [...]

tomato chickpea and sausage
I’ve been counting calories these days. It’s a good way to keep track of what I eat–I’ve been eating too much! I’m trying to stay around 2,000 calories a day and get 35 grams of fiber. It is hard work getting all that fiber in. I’m convinced that if I keep at this, I’ll be [...]

my poor poor lost machine
At the risk of annoying the Viking people any further than I already have, I called again today. My worst fears are realized and it appears my machine has gone AWOL. Gone, gone, gone. WTF? How do you lose a huge sewing machine? I’m going in to pick up a loaner Singer (I’m just curious [...]

back in business
Got tired of waiting for Viking to finish giving my machine a tune-up so my nice husband let me get a back-up. I’ve given up on my machine coming back any time soon–what on earth are they doing with it? Is it lost? It wasn’t even broken to begin with. Poo. You can bet I [...]

i must be crazy
I booked a flight in November for the 3 of us to visit my parents in WA. Plane ride solo with 2 kids? Ha ha ha that just sounds ridiculous, doesn’t it. Hopefully M will walk on the plane by herself so I can carry the carseat and E-chan. K is going to fly up [...]

thanks a lot
To the AssHat who stole our stroller:
Thanks a whole lot. You ruined my day and now I have to lug the other stroller up and down the stairs every time I want to go for a walk. I shouldn’t have left it in the corner of the parking garage (it was only 2 hours!) but [...]

I got a nice break today from BOTH kids! I had a wonderful 2 hours off from pee, poop, whining, cooking, and boob sucking. Isn’t parenting the greatest? LOL Seriously, it was so invigorating and refreshing to get some time to myself. I pumped a bottle for E-chan–I got a crazy 4 oz at one time. Lactating [...]

Another easy dinner for moms whose babies think that 6pm is the perfect time to get all fussy and crabby. What is with that, anyway? I pan fried the chicken in olive oil and pepper, then added some sundried tomatoes and ready made pesto sauce (Costco). It tastes great with parmesan cheese. This time we [...]
