Fort Snelling (Finally…) Part 1

by Alison on September 30, 2006

    Well, this was a couple Fridays ago (9/15/06)… but you know how it goes, life is busy, and with so much going on, who has time to blog?  Especially with so many great pictures to crop and post?     My kids love field trips.  What kid doesn't?  Last year I decided that I really [...]

Pregnancy News- 34 Weeks

by Alison on September 30, 2006

    Wow, I guess the theme for this pregnancy is something like 'don't blink or you'll miss it'.  Okay, nine months still takes nine months, but really it has just been flying by.  I guess I should start getting ready for this baby!  I haven't even dusted off/washed the infant car seat, the cradle, anything… [...]

Kittens Galore

by Alison on September 30, 2006

    We have too many cats!  They're cute, but they eat a lot… and they don't catch all the mice… and they have this really annoying habit of running along like a little yippee dog at your feet, just asking to be stepped on, so naturally I oblige…     We had a crazy cat, I [...]

Reward Systems- Not Just for Kids Anymore

by Alison on September 28, 2006

    Well… I… uh… will just come out and say it- I'm drowing in a pile of laundry… again.  Oh, how I've tried to develop the habit of getting that fresh load in first thing in the morning.  I do really good for short spurts of time, and then… Mount Washmore (as Flylady calls it) [...]

Kelley Farm in Elk River for the first of the fall Homeschool Happenings days- the theme this time was “Threshing Time”.  It's always a fun one to [...]

How I Spent Last Weekend

by Alison on September 19, 2006

    Well, the weekend before last… what a whirlwind, I can't believe how fast the weeks fly by! I only have 7 1/2 weeks left before baby's due!  Aaahh!     Anyway, I just had to post this cute pic of my little Grace, gracefully playing the hand she has been dealt.  I think I thought [...]

Staying Home, Staying Warm With Grace

by Alison on September 10, 2006

    Well, it's Sunday morning and my husband has already left with our 3 oldest to head down to church.  I'm left here with our 2 youngest trying to distract them and get them playing long enough to forget how upset they were not to get to go with the others.     While posting about [...]

Warmers Aren't Just for Legs Anymore

by Alison on September 9, 2006

  One of my recent projects has been to tech edit my sister's first published knitting design.  She took the fingerless glove idea and went a bit more fingerless… and came up with these Arm Warmers.  They're cute, they're fun, and they're pretty quick and easy to knit up if you have a little bit [...]
