It’s Friday.
I thought I’d hit the highlights of the week, because I have nothing better to write. Sorry. The brain is mush by this point and all I can think about is curling up in my jammies and reading Harry Potter.
* Earlier this week, as Lance and I were watching food porn, Addie walked up to [...]

How to make felted coasters

Crafts ‘R Us
So a few years ago, my sister in law got pregnant with her third son. We were all in seminary together and lived just a block away from each other. We were also dirt poor. We weren’t like “Old Mother Hubbard” poor, but pretty dang close.
I was racking my brains, trying to come up with [...]

Dear Mom,
Dear Mom,
Since we only get to see you a couple of times a year, I’m sure you get to missing us sometimes. I got to thinking of a way to help curb that missing-feeling. It will only cost you a couple of dollars but a large amount of your hair may come out, just warning [...]
