Quick indoor picnic
Early February Nico was bugging about going to the park for a picnic. Now I’m up for adventure, but not at -25C (-13F). So I just threw a little comforter on the living room floor made some croissant sandwiches for Alex & I and heated up some rigatoni and little meatballs for Nico (“no sauce, no no no!”) and we sat in the living room watching Stella and Sam (Stella and Sacha in French, no clue … Read entire article »

Fuzzy shirt cushion (mini body pillow)
Last night (April 23rd), I got my brand new sewing machine out that I had bought on Valentines day. I had not been wanting to take out due to all my mishaps/curse I’ve had with sewing machines… Long story but the short version is I killed 3, including 2 new ones where the motor just stopped and a 4th one I didn’t even touch that started bugging, so, let’s just say I really have no … Read entire article »

He was thrilled! He was holding it strongly but carefully since it was a cold windy day. He tried to climb … Read entire article »
