on saturday, we decided to get out and do something outdoors. as a family. wanting to avoid any memorial day crowds, or spend a lot of (any) money, we decided to stay rather low key. so, we headed over to tanglewood park. first, we went to the bigger playground, since we had just been to […]

granny square quilt.
since i can’t crochet, and i’m really coveting a granny square afghan, i figured the next best thing is to make a granny square quilt. i was recently in a rainbow charm swap at sweet diesel designs and had a pretty stack of 5 inch square rainbow fabrics. Â i added a few of my own […]
some randomness.
on saturday, i went yard sale-ing with my pal jude. it was one of those sweet yard sale days where i just kept finding sweet sweet deals. one of the best was this radio flyer trike (with handle) that i scored for $20 for anna. it’s $100 new. the hat she’s wearing was also a […]
summer ’12 to do
with one day of school left for the boy, we decided to assemble our second annual summer to do list. Â the first one was a big hit, and this year’s looks very similar. Â why ruin a good thing? Â we left some space to add in some extra ideas.
