It’s interesting to me seeing how he learns about the universe. Some times you get to watch him figure things out right then and there. I’ve seen it while he’s been in the bath, as he sorts out which containers hold more water and how his little water wheel toy works.
Last night we were having [...]

Things are really starting to come together now. I figured I’d show some progress pictures. When we first moved in this is what the front of the house looked like:

When the builder wrapped up on Friday this is how things were looking:

When Roomie and I wrapped things up for today this is how things looked:

We’re [...]

I’m tired right now. Roomie and I have been working most of the weekend to trim the shed and paint the front of the converted room. I took this right as we were wrapping up for the day.

We’re painting the main portion of the house a dark red color and the trim and doors a [...]

That’s what’s going on in our house at the moment. Last night was the first night. It was extremely rough on me I think more than the munchkin although I wasn’t the one crying on and off for forty minutes.
It’s not entirely a choice at this point. Between him discarding the pacifiers outside in the [...]

I remembered! I like participating in Val’s Four Foods on Friday meme but I keep forgetting and it’s very irritating to me that I do so. I love reading everyone else’s recipes and tips and tricks for getting by in the kitchen. This cooking thing is still pretty new to me. Anyway, on to the [...]

A friend on livejournal pointed out this amazing animated spider to me. It’s highly realistic, so if you have any tendencies towards arachnophobia you might want to stay away, but wow, it’s so well done. I just spent ten minutes having it chase bugs all over the screen and am now putting the spider away [...]

I think it’s funny how televisions are often a sign of status. I know when we lived in England we were considered wealthy because we had three TVs. Never mind one of them was ten years old and the others were tiny little portables, one of which was my mothers. When we moved out that [...]

Today’s the day our renovations start. Our front yard is full of building supplies, and part of our garage is too, we have everything from 2×4s to windows and doors, insulation and drywall. About the only thing we don’t have is Grohe faucets because we’re not putting a bathroom into the new room, two of [...]

Roomie and I have been messing with each others hair again. Although as I’ve been examining my hair I realize I could do with some of the best acne treatment on my face, but my hair is in need of color, and the acne re-occurs.
I would have pictures of my bleached wonder…but well, the camera [...]

I’ve been excited this morning. I sold two pieces out of my Etsy shop. I was going to talk about how I’m going to be making more pieces and posting them over the next few days, but then that won’t be happening.
Why?
Munchkin just busted my camera.
In theory Radio Shack should be able to repair/replace it, [...]
