Apparently Technorati is the place to be if you’re a blogger. As usual, I’m not the first on the bandwagon, but once I found out about it I jumped in with both feet. Is that mixing metaphors? Do you care? I don’t, but if you do I’ll be more careful…
With apologies to Elizabeth Barrette Browning… Ah coffee, how I love thee; let me count the ways. I love thee to the depth and breadth and height Of my coffee cup; and when being out and about, To the bottom of my favorite non-spill travel mug. I love thee to…
Once upon a time there was a tall, dark, handsome, slightly smart-alecky College Boy who worked in the campus library. Actually he’s more than slightly smart-alecky but this is a fairy tale so we’ll go along with the illusion. In the same library worked a tall, beautiful, soft-spoken, and…
As I’ve said before, Little Guy loves my camera. He still hasn’t learned to keep his fingers off the lens; once he does he’ll be on his way to photography fame. Or maybe he’ll be known as “that guy who takes photos between his fingers.” Here are some of his…

Princess had to take Independent Living this semester in order to graduate. I think that’s funny because Princess already knows how to do laundry, wash dishes, cook, bake, and can sew a little. Teacher and I have been encouraging our children to be independent since they were little – even…
OK, I admit right off the bat that I took this idea from my friend, Pietra of Homestead Emporium. I really don’t think she’ll mind though because I’m only making them for myself and the girls: I don’t serge small circles like this well enough to think about selling them…
As Teacher and I try to bring more “greenness” and sustainablity (Is “sustainability” a word? My spellcheck doesn’t like it, but I’m in charge so it’s staying) into our family life I’ve written more posts about “going green.” That got me thinking that I should add a Green category, but…
