My grumpy bedtime Viking My little guy is talking a LOT now! As busy as he is when he’s playing and carrying out his raids, he is a sweetie when he’s sleepy. “Mommynuggles” is required before night-night time. This dirty look is for his paparazzi sister. He’s loving boats and “moko-bike-kickles” and his “Gandaddy.” And…
A List
Giant hairbows make me happy. I have learned to crochet, and I’m addicted. For real. If it stands still long enough, it will either be fitted with some sort of flower, or a cozy. The pattern I found today was in Dutch. I like a challenge. It’s SO cute and easy…I may post it…

Beautiful Breeding Bettas
On a whim, we bought a pair of Betta fish at the pet store two weeks ago. This would be a Thursday afternoon, and buying pets on a whim is something that I am opposed to philisophically, spiritually, and logically. I think I either had a mental breakdown in Petsmart, which is a strong possibility,…
The Biltmore Estate Architects Tour
My man and I went on a little overnight get-away back in February. Why, yes…I’m a wee bit behind on my blogging. *ahem* The Biltmore house We got to enjoy a day at Biltmore Estates in Ashville, North Carolina. Biltmore is the historic home built by George Vanderbilt in the 1890’s. It’s an amazing home,…
