It's been an interesting week. Some good and some bad. Nothing gloriously wonderful and no real disasters, just a lot of ups and downs, or as we refer to them in our monthly reports - roses & thorns. All week Ace has woken me up a half hour before my alarm is set to ring: … Continue reading Roses & Thorns
4/52
What a week and a half. I'm late on the weekly photo and don't have much to say. I finished the entrelac hat, but still need to block it. Last weekend was the dance recital - the culmination of 10 months of very hard work which resulted in a beautiful show. As E gets older … Continue reading 4/52
Learning/improving
It's been a rainy week, and therefore no good photo opportunities, I've decided to resurrect a post I started on a plane a few months ago. I've never been a big reader of non-fiction. Rather ironic considering I was a history major. Perhaps it's because these the non-fiction that's usually recommended to me is business … Continue reading Learning/improving

What’s new?
Not much. The weekend is winding down, but I can't complain. Today was Small Business Saturday, but I didn't go shopping. I tend to do as much shopping locally and at independent stores year round, so I didn't feel an overwhelming need to jump out and buy something today. I'm hoping to take some work … Continue reading What’s new?
Making the long weekend count
This morning, things weren't looking great for today. Both washers were running (clothes & dish and none of us had a lot of motivation. Suddenly Chad looked up and said, "we're leaving in 45 minutes." Of course Eliza & I both wanted to know where we were going. He'd decided it was a good day … Continue reading Making the long weekend count
Short Weeks
So, I've just written my WIP Wednesday post. Here in the US, Thursday is Thanksgiving. Which means that this is a short week for many of us (me being one of them). This means today is like Wednesday and Thursday all rolled into one. Apparently I took that a little too literally. I really thought … Continue reading Short Weeks
