Today I posted a few handmade toddler bibs in my Etsy shop. These are backed with terry towel cloth so they are super absorbent, for the little people working on neatness. Ha! Who am I kidding? It’s for the toddlers, like mine, who are working on their dip painting skills. I’ll be [...]
I’ve been looking for a typewriter for a while now, so I was super excited to find one recently at the local Salvation Army for $15. It’s a Smith-Corona Super Sterling. It appears that my 2-year 0ld is also a fan.

Cheers!

Today my sunshine turns 2! In the midst of teething, spilled milk and poopy diapers I want to remember it’s all part of a Bigger Picture.

May she be thread and mend brokeness and knit hearts
May she be dead [...]
