In the end, I decided to buy Aidan’s costume. I found exactly what I wanted with a level of detail that was beyond my personal skill. Oliver’s costume is made from a white turtleneck and oversized white sweat pants that were altered by me with black felt. I also knit up his dalmatian puppy [...]

My husband has always loved pumpkin muffins. I was never a fan. One day he asked me to make some, but I don’t generally cook/bake foods that aren’t vegan, the only exception being farm eggs for the boys. Anyhow, one day I decided to give it a try. Determined to find a vegan version [...] Our Octobers are usually so busy that I try not to commit to anything extra. How could I resist, though, our first fire festival with my husband as a volunteer fire fighter? Aidan will be a firefighter for Halloween this year, so he wore his costume to the event. He was quite the attention getter, [...] (Yet another bento post) Aidan’s top tier: red pepper hummus, sugar snap peas, carrots, pears, pomegranate seeds.

Needles: US 8s for ribbing, US 9s for body & sleeves completed 10-7-10
I knit the largest baby size in this pattern, which [...] There’s been so much talk about school from Aidan’s and my own perspective, that I thought it was time to share a bit of it from Ollie’s. That very first day that we left Aidan at school, I had to drag Ollie out kicking and screaming. For a moment, it was unclear if he was [...] Monday started week 2 of our journey into school life. Aidan wanted his mama close and that is exactly what he got. Last week, I stayed with him on Monday as well. The other days, though, I was able to leave and come back with no tears. Here’s a little recap of the high emotions from [...] |
