  Two Saturdays ago Mom and I went to a baby shower. It was for a cousin and the paternal grandmother of this baby is my Dad’s first cousin. This was such a beautiful day and a wonderful celebration for these two families to welcome this baby before the birth. During this couple of hours I…

• Family, Time and Projects

  On Friday, we knew it would be a busy day. It was our weekend with our girl and her Daddy’s birthday was on Saturday. Sometimes it’s difficult to know what she will want to do when we pick her up after the long school day. Although we, Mom and I decided we needed a change…

• Caffeine

  Sometimes it’s good and a lot of times it’s not. Yesterday as I mentioned I was a bit panicky. I don’t always do well with deadlines. Procrastination was a word I knew well in school. It was a word I lived by literally. This project was nothing like procrastination though. As soon as we met…

• Finger Fun

  After nearly a year since I touched any needlepoint due to totally spending time typing… I need a bit of a change. I have decided I need to not only kill two birds with one stone, but take some time off a keyboard or device just a little bit every day again. Growing up was…
