I’m not entirely sure where this week went…the same place my good intentions went, I think! We started the week with a long weekend, spent doing such relaxing and glamorous things like oiling the decks and regauzing the fly screen doors that the cat has shredded. The week proper then got off to a slow start when Beetle went down […]
When we moved into our new home in October 2023, everyone got new bedding. Partly because it’s nice to have new things in a new house, but mostly because in the almost-four years it took to build, everyone had outgrown or worn out their existing bedding.

Here’s five fun things on my agenda for this weekend I recently bought […]
“And how many ‘tobers is mama doing this year?” the rather perceptive, and project-collecting-obsessed, teen asked me, after I texted her a link to Zinetober on Pinterest. The answer is, surprisingly, not all that many. I have a bit of an idea of what I want to do for 31 Minutes. Car has semi talked me into Inktober (and I’ve […]
