"The most effective kind of education is that a child should play amongst lovely things."-PlatoSometimes as a mother I beat myself up. (I'm sure none of you ever do that, right?)I think am I doing this right, am I doing enough of that, am I giving them enough of this, and I should have done that and that and that better.These questions and doubts float around in my brain more than I'd like. But the other day Grace and I were "working" on the floor in our jammies while Ruth napped. I was ... View the Post
Success Tips for My Younger Self: Kaplan University Post
So...Aside from sewing, crafting, and eating nachos I have another addiction---school. Not much time passes between my enrollment in school of one kind or another.

After I made this dress I got on an exaggerated-collar kick---so there will be lots more to ... View the Post
Coming Home
Yesterday I came back from 3 nights away from home.And while 3 nights isn't a long time, when you are away from your family it feels like an eternity! Elizabeth and I had been gone on an adventure (a cold, wet, funny, colorful, eventful adventure) which we enjoyed but we missed our family's something terrible. (Yes we are babies.) In fact when Elizabeth's family came to pick us up from the airport she left me in the dust running across the crosswalk to get to them...but that's ok I ... View the Post
