Even though we woke her up in the middle of the night to come help at Bennet’s birth Sciarrino managed to grab the birthday present she’d made for the baby. She made up this sweet wonky stars quilt with some cottons we’d got at quilt guild and shirting. The shirting has a really great subtle …

Bennet’s First Page
I may not be as organized and prepared scrapbook wise as I was before Tuesday was born (I had a whole fill in the blank scrapbook ready to go), but I’m determined not to forget all the little moments happening now. I’m also determined to use some of my supplies. I’m trying hard not to …
The next big (little) thing
We’re building a garden shed! I’m so excited. That was always the plan for this space: And we’re finally doing it. I think I’ve mentioned that our garage is so small a mini cooper couldn’t fit in there. We have all manor of things in there, like strollers, bike trailers, tools, etc. This way Bj …
How did you get that on there?
Good luck getting a three year old to tell you how in the world they got a yellow stain on the BACK of a tank top (usually only worn as an undershirt even!). It was hard enough to get her to tell me where she put my keys (under my desk in my knitting bag, …
The birth of Bennet Marie
I didn’t think I’d make much a of a big post about my second birth experience, since I went into such great detail with my first (you can read it here, along with why we chose home birthing), but I’ve learned that there are lots of differences in birthing! At just a few days past …
Bennet Marie

New Baby
That baby, new baby, baby girl, little baby. Obviously we haven’t settled on a name yet. But we do love her so! Sister bath time! Grandma snuggles. Mittens required at all times… she mauled herself before she even got out of the birth tub, silly baby! Tuesday loves to show off what a great …
Big Sister, Little Sister
It’s a girl! I’m pretty sure we’re the happiest family on earth right now. A little sister for Tuesday, another sweet girl for Bj and I, perfection. Born early in the morning after a very fast, but wonderful labor. Right into the water and my arms. Tuesday and Bj snuggled up watching. 6 lbs 14 …
This Moment
Joining in on Amanda’s this moment project. A moment from the last week. A slice of life.
The layouts… how old school.
I have been doing so much scrapbooking via Project Life, that “traditional” 12×12 layouts have totally fallen by the wayside for me. I don’t mind so much, but I do like that I can focus on fun paper combos and more story for the big pages. So while the computer was down I thought I’d …
