    I made bread today too. It’s challah, from Tabitha’s recipe, and it’s pretty much the best bread ever. I found the boots I thought I accidentally gave to charity! Yay! They were in the War Drobe in the Spare Oom. So we had a boot-trying-on day. Faith, Gilbert, Trixie: all [...]

    So we committed to baking vs. prepackaged a while back. First and foremost it was for money. I won’t lie. All the good stewardship intentions in the world didn’t motivate me like the bottom line of running out of the month’s food budget a week or more before we ran [...]

    Number of comments: 3
    I just switched to post stubs instead of full posts in the RSS feed. That means if you subscribe in a reader you won’t get a full post – you have to click through and read it here. I hope that lets me have a better idea of how many [...]

    I was on Facebook earlier (I know, shocker) and my friend Jeni posted a link to make your own rice milk. Now, I don’t drink rice milk, I drink cow’s milk, but I have more than a few friends who are allergic to cow’s milk or have children who are [...]

  • It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas

    Number of comments: 5
    We put up our tree. My favorite thing about artificial trees is being able to put them up so early. We got a new tree this year, easily three times the size of our old tabletop tree. The kids are super excited and festooning it with various “ornaments” (mostly Fisher [...]

    Number of comments: 1
    Thanksgiving was delicious. Sean cooked his signature pancetta-wrapped turkey, I made many side dishes, and my parents brought even more. We all ate until we could hardly breathe. Today is Buy Nothing Day, which I think is Dumb, but we will be participating in body if not in spirit. Maybe I [...]

    NaBloPoMo be hanged, I’m going offline til after Thanksgiving. I’ll be checking my mail if anyone needs me for anything, but only once at night. I really enjoyed less computer time over the weekend. I may be hermit-ing soon in terms of “social networks.” I get easily sucked in to Facebook, [...]

    Took a break over the weekend. I forgot to post on Saturday and only remembered to post on Sunday at about 11:52. So. I have finished Trixie’s grey sweater. It has secret purple armscyes! She likes it very much. I realize how useless this is without pics. Today I made three loaves [...]

    I’m doing Christmas pre-shopping, deciding what I want to get for each child. It’s so difficult! Trixie will be getting a new toy barn, Gloria a very paticular toy cat with a handknitted sweater (by both myself and Faith), Abby a series of books called Dear Dumb Diary aaaaand… that’s [...]

    Today was very long, and busy, but I can’t really remember it. We enjoyed the lovely weather outside, and drew pictures, and baked brownies, and did many things. I washed dishes at least three times, because we ate three meals and we have no dishwasher. I did laundry. I changed [...]

    Some LDS missionary boys came to visit today. They’re so cute. It kills me that they’re “Elder” when I’m twice their age. One was Elder Bill and the other was Elder L-something-Venezuelan. They were pleased with my large brood and the fact that we homeschool, and no doubt disappointed that [...]

    Just a dull litany for tonight. I baked bread today and made a huge pot o chili. I slept very poorly due to 1. Trixie, who woke about every hour for unknown reasons; 2. Gilbert awakening once and needing my assistance; and 3. Gloria waking twice. I don’t think I [...]

    Today we baked cookies. Many, many cookies. We’re trying to get away from buying baked goods around here. So far we’ve eliminated storebought bread and my nemesis, Pop Tarts. Up next is cookies, then crackery snacks. Making 100 cookies with two spoons to scoop up and drop them is a [...]

    Number of comments: 1
    The plumbing issue continues to plague us; we have misaligned pipes. With a little lip of pipe for things to catch upon it’s no wonder we keep having trouble. I think we’re going to see about buying our own power auger. Sean had a second interview today at the same joint [...]

    This post-every-day-for-a-month thing has made certain that I don’t have time to blog. Just typing that sentence I heard Trixie and Gloria scream at each other and had to go sort it out. Twice. I have to choose each night between solitude and sleep. Even if I do choose solitude I’m [...]

    Today the bathroom pipe was clogged in such a way that the entire system was backed up: sink, tub, and most importantly, toilet. We have one bathroom for eight people,  so it’s more than just an inconvenience. Sean fixed it. Sean also had a job interview today, wow! I am simultaneously [...]

  • Do they dare?

    Today I rediscovered (as in, found it behind a bookcase) one of my favorite books as a child, The Berenstain Bears and the Spooky Old Tree. I loved it as a kid and remembered lingering over the illustrations. My kids love it just as much as I did, and Gloria [...]

  • Where is Club Penguin?

    Number of comments: 1
    My children adore Club Penguin. Our home is festooned with drawings therefrom, and one of Gloria’s first words was “puffle.” Today we deduced where Club Penguin was likely to be. It has trees and other plants, so it can’t be part of Antarctica proper. According to Wikipedia, the southern tree line [...]

    That’s the name of Bede’s favorite book. Have I discussed this before? I don’t think I have. It’s a REALLY GREAT BOOK. Did you like The Monster at the End of This Book? Then you’ll love this book. Bede acts it out constantly, redraws it with other beasts and beings [...]

    Today was too short! I didn’t manage to get many of the things I planned to do, done. I don’t quite know what took the time away. I think it’s the darkness coming so much earlier. I’m all boiling with thoughts on adolescence and social development. Especially in an online [...]

    Today I left the house with no children! I’ll just let that sink in a bit. My mother and I went to the fabric store, the drugstore and the thrift store. We emerged with fabric for Christmas presents, some toys, and winter pants for Gilbert and Bede. I was universally assumed to [...]

    No, not pig flu. Very unlikely to get that one. The other lot. We selectively vaccinate on a very delayed schedule. We don’t start til seven at the earliest, for one thing, and we don’t get any that the kids could just as easily decide to get for themselves later. That [...]
