She’s cute. And she totally knows it. And she’s also totally going to hate me one day when she finds out I told Jim to “make sure you capture how fat her thighs are”. But then, on some later day, … Continue reading
Every week at the library, Bastien gets a new sticker to place on his name tag. Usually they are rather small. But this week, it was a big, cheerful smiley face. Instantly coveted, I tell you. Somewhere on the way … Continue reading
Every now and again it’s a good idea to check in with your kids and see how their skills are progressing. For example, this week I asked Bastien if he could pick out some clothes for the day and get … Continue reading
We’ve been rather flu-ish around here this week. So pretty much no one is embracing activities to get us over the hump more than us. Here are three simple equations, utilizing materials straight out of the recycling bin that added … Continue reading
Here we go again. Will I ever tire of knitting great baby hats? Not a chance! And of course, this is another fabulous free pattern you should know about. I’m not sure which was more enjoyable…knitting it, or seeing her … Continue reading
Quite the traditionalist, Jim likes to give things up for Lent. Okay, maybe “likes to” isn’t quite the right phrasing, but I digress. This year he gave up sweets (not the most original, but admirable nonetheless). Better yet, he is … Continue reading
Or garbage disposal, perhaps?
And just like that, I’m in love with knitting again. All it takes is a good baby hat pattern, as it turns out. This one is from the book Stewart Tabori & Chang Books – Knitting For Baby Now I … Continue reading
Today, to help you get over the hump, I simply point you to what’s inspiring me. And what we’ll be doing today, just for fun.
Here it is. All 70 ounces of pumped milk that I shipped to Bronson’s Mother’s Milk Bank last week. As with just about everything I do, this was so much more difficult than I expected. When you’re a WAHM of … Continue reading
I know, I can’t believe she’s this old already either. Friday stats from the doctor: Height 28 3/4″, 90th% Weight 20.8 lbs, 95th% Practically perfect in every way!
XOXO, TheJLBs
Who’s got a better caption? C’mon, you know you want to comment!
Good grief, I am NEVER knitting another sweater as long as I live. This thing took weeks. My patience cannot handle such cruel and unusual punishment. I mean, there was a good chance she could have outgrown the darn thing … Continue reading
So music has pretty much been our sunshine this winter. We go to the most excellent library program on Tuesdays that’s all about shaking our tail feathers to some pretty decent kids’ music. And on Fridays we go to a … Continue reading
This cutie patootie happened into the studio this weekend too. You remember her and her cute Santa get-up from here. Good luck saying no to this face when she’s 16. Seriously. Do they get any cuter? I think not. FYI… … Continue reading
Hadley was giddy to find her boyfriend back in the studio this week. Probably because he’s without-a-doubt 2018′s top Abercrombie model. You remember him from here. He sure is getting irresistible in his old age, isn’t he? And just watch … Continue reading
You can just zip it. I saw a little boy at the library last week with every last one of his nails painted. PINK.
We’ve got a good new thing going here. It’s something I look forward to all week and it’s called Friday night. Oh, you have it at your house too? Well, on OUR Friday nights, we have a warm fire, takeout … Continue reading
You may recall that we are bona fide library junkies around here. And how could we not be, with day after day of free entertainment? Oh the freeness of it all! At our very own beloved Milford Public Library, we … Continue reading
One of Jim’s littlest friends came back this weekend. In’t she cute?
