I love to make handbags. Love. Love. Love. It’s fun. It’s functional. Usually, it’s a short and fast project. People love them. I love them. (In case you didn’t get that the first time.) But, I usually get to #3 of a particular style, and then I’m [...]

Turbo Jam vs. Cathe Freidrich
Posted in Daily Diary on January 28, 2008 | 10 Comments »
I’ve been getting a tremendous number of hits on my previous Turbo Jam review. Although I outlined my thoughts on the workout there, someone asked me why I didn’t like it and what Cathe Freidrich has over Turbo Jam. So here are some thoughts below:
What’s the basis of the workout?
TJ is a gimmick. [...]
The Great Diaper Adventure Continues
Posted in Motherhood, Parenting, tagged Bum Genius, cloth diapers, Fuzzi Bunz, Motherhood on January 26, 2008 | 3 Comments »
I’ve been mulling this post all week. Since Holly is posting about it today, too, I thought I’d try to spell out where we are in the cloth diapering adventure.
I was quite naive when I jumped into this two months ago. (Has it already been two months?) I thought that the “new” [...]
Hello Bumpy
Posted in Daily Diary on January 24, 2008 | No Comments »
My little Bump amuses me to no end at times. He’s his mama’s boy.
I’ve been hearing all week on one of my message board’s that Target is clearing out their Hello Kitty sewing machines. It’s a cute little machine geared towards kids. But, it is a real machine - 3/4 size. [...]
Cooking Like Crazy
Posted in Daily Diary, Recipes on January 23, 2008 | No Comments »
I’ve not been much in the mood to blog these last few days. Not much to say. Really, lots to say, but feeling like this is not the forum for such expression.
But, I’ve been cooking like crazy. My local stores have some great sales on meat, and I’ve been tempted to try [...]
It Was a Dark and Snowy Night….
Posted in Daily Diary on January 19, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Well, not really. The snow has stopped for the moment. I’d say maybe 2 inches on the ground - what the news stations are reporting as significant accumulation. (Those fear mongers.) Now you must remember that I’m from the far Northern Part of Wisconsin - near Lake Superior (think lake effect snow) [...]
One Week, Two Naps and I’m Still Tired
Posted in Daily Diary on January 18, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Yup, I got another delicious nap today. (Gosh, I never thought I’d use “delicious” to describe anything but food. Kind of the whole “yummy fabric” thing is weird to me, but the nap was satisfying like a good meal.) I snuggled under the blanket for a good hour and a half. [...]
The Nap

On Wednesdays I take Bump to a Mother’s Morning Out program. He loves it. I love it, too. Since Zach is a morning napper, it’s prime time for me to get a ton of things done. Most days he sleeps almost the full 3 hours that Bump is gone.
As a mother, [...]
The Library - Zach on the Loose
Posted in Daily Diary, Motherhood, tagged toddlers on January 15, 2008 | 1 Comment »
We haven’t been to our local library in about 3 months. I know this because our books were due - and I had renewed them twice (we check out for a month at a time.) It’s always a little chaotic with the two of them, but now my little Zach has wheels - [...]
I Still Don’t Know

I took this little quiz. Usually, I loath quizzes. If I take them, I never put them on my blog. But, based on my quiz, here’s who matches my answers in the presidential race:
