Well, I got it…the cold that has been making the rounds. Ugh. I’ll be back to our regularly scheduled program once the achiness leaves my bones. I had plans to get my seeds started today, but that will have to wait until later in the week as the weather has decided to allow the sun, […]

Published on: February 14, 2010 by catballou24 Comment

We went bowling tonight. First time in years and we had a blast! We went with some good friends of our’s and their son. While both girls did great, I think Xi is actually hooked. She kept telling me how much she loved to bowl and I swear she didn’t stop grinning the whole night. […]

My darling sister, who lives in Oregon, is giving our family the most amazing gifts…twins.

Anna Maria Horner arrived today…okay, not the actual woman but some of her Folksy Flannel fabric did show up and I am singing the praises of her designs. I cannot wait to dive into these stacks. I ordered 2 fat quarter stacks that will be made into the girls’ new comforters, as well as […]

Well, we were able to clean out around 200 items from our home (that includes little toys that went unused) and will be taking them to the Goodwill this week. I really need to improve on my grocery bag usage. I don’t know why this one is such a hard one for me to just […]

The Newest Addition To The Farm

J has a new project: He’s really excited about it. We’ve been a one car family for quite awhile and it hasn’t been bad at all. Lately, however, I’ve found that the kids I take care of are old enough to be able to transport about easier than when they were infants. And J has […]

Just a few things we’ve been doing and how our life is going over here at the farm. Xi’s first Waldorf doll – Baby Xiola – made my moi! I was so nervous about making this and it turned out to be so much fun! Me and Xi at Grandma’s on Christmas Night. […]
