Just a bit behind in the blogging world. To be honest, I’m a bit behind in the real world too. I came down with Parker’s flu over the weekend and have been playing catch-up ever since then. Trust me, you don’t want me to be blogging about the details of what’s going on around here! [...]

I’m sorry for the lack of posting this week. I finished up my Rainbow Quilt (FINALLY!) and can’t wait to share the final product with you all. Unfortunately, Parker has been under the weather this week. As in puking everywhere, messy diapers, clingy, crabby, fever, need mommy every moment of everyday sick. So, [...] What is summer without Popsicles? And what is more fun than making your own? I remember coming up with all sorts of weird Popsicle concoctions as a kid (word to the wise, sprite does not freeze well!). Not only is it a fun activity, it allows you to make choose exactly what goes into your [...] We’ve been spending a lot of time in the yard lately. It seems like we skipped right over Spring and are now in full Summer weather mode (for the moment!). It was 90 yesterday. That might not seem like anything special to a lot of you, but out here, wow. Especially in May! I used [...] I did something very dangerous the other day. I gave into some food-blog-linking and ended up discovering several new highly addictive food blogs. Oh yes, I’m living on the wild side! I’ve already been trying out some recipes from these blogs and I can say I’m definitely in love. So, in case you’re wondering what [...] You are awesome. And I’m not just saying that because you spent all weekend taking care of things around the house (dragging branches {after chopping down a tree-weed}, getting plants from the neighbors, digging, pruning, watering, cleaning, etc.). Nor am I saying it because you showered me with kisses and love ALL day yesterday (along [...] I like to think I’m an organized and some-what disciplined person. But the reality is, I often procrastinate. Not on things that I have to do. For some reason I have no problem getting stuff done when there is no choice. I mean, in college, I finished papers up weeks ahead of schedule and never [...] Remember my Block-a-Palooza blocks? Those poor lovely squares have been waiting for me to get moving on the next phase of the Block-a-Palooza project. You see, the next step for this quilt is a large block made completely of appliqué. I adore quilting, but I’m still new to the world of applique and it’s not my [...] I say a lot of things that result in people giving me weird looks. Cloth Diapers. Natural childbirth. Canning. Cooking from scratch. Natural family planning. Gardening. Homemade stock. Natural medicine. Oh yeah, and I have a cow in my basement. ::Insert weird looks here:: No, not a real, live cow. I’m not that much of [...] You know it’s springtime in Chicagoland when . . .
you start seeing tulips everywhere you go {even on your dining room table!} road construction is in full swing {there are three seasons in Chicago: fall, winter, and road construction}
