How To Make.........Wait A Minute!!! Construction Ahead

How To Make..........Wait A Minute!!!-

After looking at the 10,000th post somewhere about how to make another item or another baked good or more stuff I realized- wait a minute. Aren't the holidays supposed to be fun and relaxing and spent with families? Or maybe do something to help others? When did it become all about making more stuff or buying more stuff to make the stuff with? When did we become so fixated on just accumulating or gifting more of the homemade kinds of things? I do love crafting, baking and re-purposing fun little items, but it seems to have gotten a bit compulsive. I think the idea of making things for fun has become a I can make more than you can or I can make better than you can competitive kind of thing. It seems to have taken the fun out of it, it's just so excessive. So the next time you think you need to make more stuff, just step away from your device :)

Construction Ahead-

You may seem some changes coming soon with the blog, so stay tuned!!! If you see anything weird looking just come back later. Thanks!!!

First Real Snow! Oliver's First Birthday

First Real Snow!

We had our first real sticking snow Friday night, about 1"! Pretty-

After a few weeks in an inversion, with gray skies, and dirty air, waking up to blue skies and sun Saturday was wonderful!!!

Oliver's First Birthday-

When Angela went into labor last year snow was in the forecast, and then it started snowing. We call Oliver the "winter wizard". It snowed the night before his birthday this year so he has kept the title! Here's Oliver last year-
