Thanks for stopping by my blog! The hats I wear include wife (to a retired Army field artilleryman), mom to three super busy teens, and high school math teacher. In my “free time” I love cooking, reading, creating (mostly papercrafts), photography, travelling, and exploring the PNW with my family…you know, all the usual things!
I hope you’ll find some inspiration, entertainment, and something that makes you smile here. I look forward to hearing from you!

I couldn’t let a week go by without some sort of pumpkin post, now could I? So I’m sharing the “recipe” for my favorite Pumpkin Chai Tea Latte. If you’re not a tea drinker, this would work with espresso or … Continue reading

This-n-That Kinda Week
I’ve had what felt like a completely discombobulated week. No one had any camps to attend, but we still had little things to do each day…dental appointments, Moms Group meeting, never-ending errands to run. And we fit in a fun … Continue reading

I Knitted, I Felted, I Organized
I have a cute little clutch to show you today that I made by felting a piece of knitting. I wanted something to keep my knitting odds and ends in…scissors, yarn needles, emergency candy. You know. Being a fairly new … Continue reading

Wristwarmer…the New Legwarmer?
Yeah, probably not. But it does make a super cute bracelet, in addition to being warm! In my burgeoning knitting abilities, I had not mastered the I Cord (also known as Idiot Cord), which is useful for drawstrings and such. … Continue reading
