i think we can all agree at this point, that if i’m working on my february post on the last day of march, that’s a good pace for me. so here goes. the random life and times of the lidbom kids during the last month before the apocalypse happened. first up. the superbowl. a tom […]

hazel’s royal court meadowland quilt.
this is the tale of that time when i spontaneously joined a quilt along on instagram and whipped out a quilt in record time, using only (mostly) fabrics from my stash, which makes it feel like it was free. i joined the meadowland quilt along on instagram, hoping it would give me some inspiration and […]
ruby dooby doo is one!
on february third, our beloved canine turned one. ruby lola arya stark lidbom is the most perfect dog for our family. she’s snuggly and loves belly rubs and is exceptionally tolerant when being mauled by hugs and headlocks from lidkids. she loves to roam our wooded property, barking at the neighbor’s horses and donkeys, chasing […]
all the other january stuff.
we kicked off january 2020 fighting a stupid nasty cough and cold. there were a lot of fluids and drugs and napping people. it was meh. eventually we were all on the mend and regular old life resumed. lots of lounging around. arts and crafts. games. you know. randomness. for christmas, my mom got me […]
december 2019 miscellany.
firstly. let me go ahead and throw this out there. this post is disorganized and all over the place. i did my best to group like activities and such. but mostly, it’s just 100% random. but that’s sort of how our december was, i suppose. our first order of business in december was procuring a […]

after thanksgiving, the next major event in the lidbom calendar is the birthday of one hazel grace lidbom. somehow she’s already six. the crazelnut is still super hilarious, always trying to be the class clown of the family. she’s super smart and now loves to read. she is snuggly, sweet, and generous, and i’m told […]
november, randomness.
after a month filled with exciting travel in october, november was pretty chill. even though it’s not quite the same as fall in western new york, it’s still my favorite season in north carolina. cooler temps. pumpkin themed foods. upcoming holidays. falling leaves. fewer bugs. you get the idea. here’s how our november went. we […]
being thankful in batavia.
now that we are (stuck) back in winston-salem, we are back to figuring out how to spend various holidays. i was determined to spend christmas in the stupid new house, because the ONLY time i ever missed having a house while we were on the road was christmastime. so, that made thanksgiving a perfect time […]
some november field trips.
one day, we were at the library, picking out books, looking up books to put on hold, guessing the number of pieces in the candy jar, when our friendly librarian told us that someone had just returned the library’s pass to the local science museum. we jumped at the chance to check it out for […]
