Lassitude

We went camping this weekend. My knees got sunburned. The children spent more hours than I have fingers throwing rocks into the pond. We ate meals cooked over a campfire. We all practiced peeing in the woods. The boys went hiking with their dad as I read Waiting For Godot and scratched my head.

Guac’s Return

Who here remembers our buddy Guac? Raise a hand. No? OK, a character description:
Guac does many naughty things. He shoots rayguns at his mother. He squishes the baby. He fights with dinosaurs. Guac also needs to change his clothes.
Guac is friendly, Guac is mean, Guac needs a ride to the mall. Guac will pinch you […]

MommyCoddle: how to save money on groceries

Last week, the gas man came by and shut off our gas for more than 24 hours because he detected a leak in the line outside our house. We had to call in a plumber to drill into the walkway and the basement wall to fix the leak and repair the pipe. This cost half […]

Happy second birthday, Mackie!

He didn’t want to come out, two years ago. We had to beg and plead and prod and grab. But out he finally came. And he’s been so full of life and personality since then. He’s a wonderful little guy. I can’t believe he’s two.
I can’t believe we cut that hair.

Time management

Some days being a stay-at-home mother to two kids under the age of four makes me want to shave my head and fill my face with doughnuts. I don’t know why. Today was one of those days.
Overnight, the kids wet the bed they share. Breakfast was immediate and loud. Then they fought over toys. Mac […]

Let me tell you about my Singer.

I have a Singer 5932. Also a Brother Lock 929D serger.
How long have you had it?
The Singer? […]

Update: We made one! Yay!

As our own children grow and mature, we realize how crucial it is to think ahead and to think outside of what we are doing at the moment. We have to […]

• who’s there?

  Oh hey you guys, it's me, Supa. Things I enjoy: talking on my bananaphone, being a nerd, writing, sewing, writing about sewing, giving my husband high-fives, playing Nintendo with my kids, playing with technological gadgetry, knitting, and reading decorating books. Did I write down nachos? Add that in there. Follow me on Twitter! I'm occasionally funny there.
