Posted on: April 8, 2009 Last updated on: November 5, 2023 Written by: Reese Dixon
I wasn’t entirely productive yesterday, but I didn’t entirely slack either. I think I managed as close to a day off as I could while not making myself crazy with inactivity. It’s all because there is just no such thing…

DISASTER!!

Posted on: April 3, 2009 Last updated on: November 5, 2023 Written by: Reese Dixon

Posted on: April 2, 2009 Last updated on: November 4, 2023 Written by: Reese Dixon

We’re already an hour late getting on the road, and we’re still debating whether or not to bring the pack and play. The trip is off to a great start. In happier news, I was able to actually finish off…

Fruits of my labors

Posted on: March 25, 2009 Last updated on: November 7, 2023 Written by: Reese Dixon
In my moping about over the weekend (and then some) I drowned my sorrows by driving to the nearest nursery and buying myself a bunch of vegetables to plant. I had been toying around with the idea of a vegetable…

2009 Year of Pleasures #12

Posted on: March 24, 2009 Last updated on: November 7, 2023 Written by: Reese Dixon
The ice cream of the future. It’s regular ice cream, frozen below zero, and it makes these little beads of frozen goodness. We had a branch of this place in the nearest mall growing up. I don’t know what it…

Alphabet Wall

Posted on: March 20, 2009 Last updated on: November 7, 2023 Written by: Reese Dixon
The majority spoke, so I went ahead and hung up my alphabet wall as I planned. I struggled and struggled to get decent photos, but the area is so wide and there’s a pillar in the middle of everything, plus…

I spent part of today finally downloading every video we’ve ever taken of Atti’s whole life off of the video camera, and onto the computer. So in honor of my massive feat of organization, I give you my favorite video…

Nothing is better for a burp rag than a cloth diaper, but nobody wants to cart around something that looks like a cloth diaper. This tutorial is easy enough for beginning sewers, but is so adorable you’ll wear it on…

The Social Model of Adversity

Atticus had his latest surgery this week, an operation on his knees that one of our friends and CP mentors calls “a right of passage for a CP kid.” We are home from a week in the hospital now, licking…

Productivity in the Pandemic

I had a different topic for this post in mind, but when I looked up the date and realized we’re almost through May already, I needed to toss it out for a mini-existential breakdown. Whew. Time, eh? I love hearing…

We Can Do It

I’ve spent the entire last six weeks sewing my heart out. Sustainably at first, just one project among many I’d spend my time on. A little ironing here, a little sewing there. When I started, people were still scoffing at…
