valley vista rv resortbenson, arizona.
after our stay in an unofficial 55+ community in mesa and hearing about how arizona is just chock full of snowbirds in the winter, i wasn’t super excited to head to benson, arizona. i was expected all the retirees to be grumpy about kids being in “their” park, and benson isn’t near a whole lot […]
arizona sewing extravaganza!
while we were in benson, i was able to get a TON of sewing done. the staff and volunteers (and other campers) were great about all of us descending upon the rec lodge and taking over, so i could set up a quilting factory, and the kids could rot their little brains out. we came […]

sewing spree.
i already posted about finishing up my carkai hexie roadshow quilt, but i also did a ton of other sewing while we stayed at the grandlibom’s residence. firstly, i managed to get hooked on making these ugly christmas sweater blocks, after seeing them on instagram. they took about an hour each, so i only eeked […]
a rocky start.
upon returning from our super fun aquarium adventure, Anna starting complaining about some stomach pain. we got her all snuggled up on the couch and sort of assumed it was just travel and sedentary life induced constipation. she is a terrible sick person. while she was out of commission and Hazel napped, I […]
