My goal is to finish Ari’s tween room before he’s a teenager. Or, preferably, by the beginning of April, because we have a big project in mind for Dave’s spring break. We’ll see how things go, though, as always. But! There has been definite progress since I first posted about the current state of and future plans for Ari’s room. … Continue reading
One month already! I didn’t do four week pictures, since he was going to be a month old just a couple of days later. I can’t believe he’s already outgrown weekly photo shoots! Abe at one month is awake a lot more than he used to be. Fortunately, he’s generally in a pretty good mood as long as someone’s holding … Continue reading
Update 2/25: My post about where to find bird and botanical images online was surprisingly popular, so I thought I’d make my new discovery about where to find lots more public domain images to print a little more prominent in this post. If you’re just looking for the source for the images, scroll down until you see the fish print. … Continue reading
So you’ve probably been wondering what homeschooling with a tiny baby around is like. No? I guess maybe that was all me, actually….for the past 10 months or so….”OMG; how am I going to do school AND have a baby?!” Because that sounded hard. Truth be told it is, so far, not all that bad.

I guess combing the internet for digitized public domain scientific literature with lovely illustrations is my new hobby. But look what I found!

And now, at last, I reveal the super secret project that I actually already mentioned, back when I posted about August and Milo’s room. It’s also a really simple project, both in theory and in execution, so I hope no one feels too let down by all my “super secret” build up. I came across the idea to make a … Continue reading
Gus turned seven back in December. But he was also being Tiny Tim three times every weekend for most of December, and then there was Christmas, and then I was having a baby….and, what, with one thing and another, we didn’t get around to having his party until today. He decided he wanted to have his party at the Chattahoochee … Continue reading
When you turn 3 weeks old, you get a brand new backdrop! I was using a sheet from our bed. But at some point I realized that we were eventually going to need to put that sheet on the bed. That finally happened this week, but not before we picked up this gray throw at Ikea. So that worked out … Continue reading
So the Hey Girl link party hosted by Kelly at View Along the Way, Michelle at Decor and the Dog, Chelsea at Two Twenty One, Bliss at Bliss Ranch, and Ashley at Domestic Imperfection…. ….sounded super fun. But I still didn’t think I was going to do it because you know that post about how I hung some pictures on … Continue reading
