We left the cabin at 905 am. That has to be a new record. #carbasting on the way home at the moment, but I'm going to switch to #carstitching soon. #englishpaperpiecing #epp #eppyeahyouknowme

Well, stuff has started coming out of the sky, but I have not started sleeping. I'm experiencing a new and awful kind of insomnia and I think this is only the third awful night in a row, but I am so done.

After months of maybe finishing one book, I buckled down and made some goals and read a lot in January! My goal again this year is #52booksin52weeks #52booksin52weeks2019, and I have seven novels read so far. (I didn't get nearly as much sewing done as I usually do in Januar…

Any chance someone has already figured out the kona cotton colors that best match Hilda? I'm so in love with the color scheme. #konacotton Robert Kaufman

My husband is out of town, which means no kissing, and no one to say "do you want some chicken with that onion taco?" Although, thanks do go to the hubby for dicing up the whole onion when we had tacos earlier in the week, so I could come home from cat sitting duties and fil…

We're a third of the way through March, and I can't shake the February blues. This has been a difficult winter in every way, and I'm tired of everything being a struggle. I could really use some time away, but the kids have been so challenging that the two of us are barely e…

My two favorite things to have in my lap, while I listen to the boys play yahtzee

I went to the library the other day, knowing I had one book and two movies waiting for me. When I got there, I had three books waiting for me! I requested Eventown because I thought it was a graphic novel, but it isn't. So I think I have this month sorted for reading!

Speaking of reading, I did a lot in March. I wasn't feeling the greatest, plus the boys have been reading a lot before bed, and I can't resist when they ask me to read and snuggle with them. And then they go to sleep and I keep reading. I don't expect to get as much read in …

The early riser wasn't even home, and we were up early enough that when we got to the cheese factory, we had to wait a few minutes for them to finish packing the warm cheese curds. I love the drive through the country, but I ate cheese the whole way home. I'll never learn. A…

And we got back to town early enough that the collection crawl hadn't started yet, so we decided to counteract the dairy with some carbs.

I have tried EVERYTHING to get this kid to enjoy reading and we limped through the Puppy Place books and the Little Lucy series, and nothing was interesting enough to make reading more enjoyable than constantly moving and doing, until we went on a date and I needed to stop a…

I took this photo as we were leaving #NotreDame about an hour before it caught on fire. I almost went up to the dad and asked if he wanted it. Now I wish I had. Twitter if you have any magic, help him find this 🙏🏼

I finished The Goldfish Boy yesterday and I loved it. So happy to see children working with mental health professionals portrayed as normal and necessary (this is also done so well in The Whispers, which I read recently and love, love, love). I started Differently Wired yest…

During teacher appreciation week we had a camp theme for the staff, so I had the boys draw pictures to decorate the lounge. This is the little guy's drawing of a bear in the forest and I love it so much.

This kid has graduated from 4k and is on to nerd school this fall!

Remember that depression tells terrible lies. They are so believable when I'm in that dark place, but whever I crawl back out I can see clearly. You are so needed. Trust me. #HowIFightDepression

I really want to ask him if I can make the 'l' into another 't', but I think it will hurt his feelings if I point out the misspelled word. #thunderbuttsandlightning #veryveryfrightening #worldsokayestmom

Wisconsin has gotten spanked over the last couple of days. My dad's place got hit by a tornado Friday night (he miraculously had VERY little damage) and yesterday at 10 am everything went to hell in our neighborhood. We had very little damage, but our power grid is a mess, a…

I only read one book that I had planned to in August, and I've already read one book that I planned for September. I'm looking forward to reading The War I Finally Won and listening to Recursion and The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-time Indian this week.
