Coming in November…

by gidget fun

Happy Halloween! Tomorrow starts a very exciting month! I’ll be participating in NaNoWriMo (and posting updates on Gidget Loves Language), moving back to California, and amidst all that, attempting to make some Christmas gifts (wish me luck!). For you, readers, I have a special treat up my sleeve in the form of several guest posts! [...]

Kindred Spirits, Part 2

by gidget faith

I started this series with a story about how God has brought special friends into my life at just the right time… This has probably happend more times than I can count; in fact, I believe that all of my closest friends were hand-picked by God to be used in my life in some way [...]

I Got Tagged!

by gidget fun

Last night was crazy. Chiquita threw up 5 times (2 in her crib), finally fell back asleep with Moondoggie and I all together on the living room floor (to avoid another crib clean-up). We moved up to our beds around 3 am and thankfully all slept until 9! Could have been worse, but could have [...]

It’s the Absolute Ultimate!! #11~ Sweet Potato Solutions

by gidget food

Moondoggie loves sweet potatoes and yams. I, on the other hand do did not. That’s right I have a tale to tell of how Gidget grew to love these colorful potatoes. I’ve never been a big fan of the thanksgiving sweet-overload yams/sweet potatoes. Which is weird because I have a major sweet tooth. But when [...]

Kindred Spirits, Part 1

Reuben’s Art-On-The-Go Bag!

by gidget sewing & crafts

For my nephew’s second birthday, I used Amanda Soule‘s book, The Creative Family, as a jumping off point for his gift. I loved Amanda’s idea for an art-on-the-go bag, and I also used her pattern in the book for the colored pencil roll. Since he’s so young, I used pretty simple contents, but Reuben loved [...]

Well, it’s a new excuse every week, but this time I’m behind on my reader because I’ve had a catch-up week after being out of town, with Moondoggie off for 3 days (including his birthday!). Here are a few good posts that I managed to get to. Good Reads Blissful Food recommends Method’s new dishwasher [...]

Blog Action Day & Hippos Toes Fair Trade Clothing

by gidget family

Today is Blog Action Day 2008, which is a campaign to promote awareness about poverty among the blogosphere. To be honest I just found out about it last night, which means I didn’t have time to write a thought-out post on poverty, per se… but I did want to highlight a small way to fight [...]
