I’m a little too excited about the fact that for the first time ever, I get to bring snacks to Atti’s classroom for the holiday. Oh, all the years I’ve read blogs and pined away for all the amazing things…

Doctor Who Family Halloween Costume

Posted on: October 17, 2011 Last updated on: September 23, 2023 Written by: Reese Dixon
This might not mean anything to you at first glance, but if it does mean something to you, it REALLY means something to you. While Atti is young enough to let us get away with it, we love dressing up…

In my last house, this buffet was upstairs and only got a few little decorations. In this house it’s front and center so I needed to do better. Once I rearranged the decorations I had to fit the new place,…

Halloween Banner

Posted on: October 20, 2010 Last updated on: October 6, 2023 Written by: Reese Dixon
This new place has this big cut out in the main downstairs wall, and I never know quite what to do with it. Most of the year I’ve just been leaving it empty because nothing I have seems to work…

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…

There Never Was a Normal

I’ve been quieter here than I anticipated when I announced my return. Current events and a global pandemic threw all our plans up in the air and laughed. I’ve struggled with knowing exactly what to say. I’m in a very…
