My Favorite Birthday Gift

The Last Kennedy Brother

Ted Kennedy, the last surviving Kennedy brother has passed. I find myself saddened by the loss of this national treasure. I grew up loving studying history, and captivated by the Kennedys. This love gave me a respect for Ted and the burden he bore, as well as all he accomplished and the kind [...]

Blue Angels, Sweet Cheeks and School Shopping

We saw the blue angels yesterday, from the I-90 Bridge on Mercer Island. It was a blast, and one of my favorite traditions. I got some fabulous shots, of the Angels, both the blue, and mine.

 
 
 
Meet the newest member of our family. An adorable cockatiel Mostly white, with a bit [...]

Happy Happy Packages

So I took my old knitting bags by Lexie Barnes, and sold them on Ravelry. I took the cash from that and went wild at the Loopy Ewe and Etsy. I ordered a Namaste bag, and buddy, and needle case. The Product photos are below for their glorious insides. This Loopy Ewe order was [...]

Pottery Night

 
I saw this cute little place, Kids n Clay. They let you pick, and paint your own pieces there. Then you leave it and they fire it for you, and when you come back a week later they are all shiny and pretty. We each picked our own piece, except Tim, who helped us and [...]

Easter

Easter is one of those holidays for me, that I get confused on what to give the kids. I don’t want to focus too much on the gifts, and I certainly don’t want candy monsters. We decided the safest bet (besides the candy and traditional eggs) is books. We usually do an outfit, but that [...]

Good times

 I got my Yarntini Happy Hour Sock Club shipment Today. Self Striping Appletini, and Black berry kiss variegated. Gorgeous. I also had a mani pedi, so I had to show that off too! 

I got a chance to go see confessions of a shopaholic last night. I loved it. Laughed the whole time. Painful, yet wonderful. [...]

Oscar fashion

 Oscar fashions were so blah this year. The colors plain or drowned out. Black, grey, brown, cream. Very few bright colors. a few reds, a few pinks, a single blue. One awful rust. I do have a few favorites for the night. Anne Hathaway was my favorite. This is just a gorgeous dress. Then Heidi [...]

Griffey fever

Oh yeah baby, he is back. Here is hoping he can help us build a team that works well together, as a cohesive unit. It’s definitely something that will guarantee my butt will be in stadium seats this season, more than I would have without him. I must say I am excited to see [...]

Ode to Magic Eraser

I can not believe how many times this past week I have googled “how to remove _______ from walls”. Even more amazing to me is that the answer has so often been Magic Eraser. And it hasn’t been just walls. My girls took coloring supplies outside of the coloring zone, and I paid the price. [...]
