As my little girl approaches her first birthday (can it have already been a year?) I have had a bit of time to reflect about all the bells and whistles needed to get through a day with baby. I’m specifically referring to the avaliable options used for carting Baby arround town. When I was still [...]

Last week was fairly fluffy for me: Things started the previous Friday when my Naalbinding needles arrived (posted about them last week). Then… I got my last package from my Secret Pal: two more balls of the Drops Alpaca yarn, this time in a lovely shade of red 3900 (will try to get a group [...]

My Mum-In-Law (here to for referred to as the MIL) came for a visit yesterday and we went off to Riverdale Farm and to Kensington Market. My Mil is a lovely lady who I find to be at times very tiresome and if I happen to already be having a trying day/week/month her innocent comments [...]

These little surprises just keep coming. I’ll be polite and tell you that this one is a bit gross so if your queasy, stop reading…you have been warned. This morning while changing Abis’ diaper I found her first foregin object in her…let’s call it a “deposit”. Apparently she had at some point yesterday decided to [...]

Wanna know what that is?….it’s the sound of Abigails’ firts tooth as she tries to lick the coffee drips from my empty mug she pinched of the couch. Her daddy and I are quite happy as she is one step sloser to her first steak (grilled, with a side of bernaise, it’s one of Nigellas [...]

***Ok let’s try this again…I was almost done my post when a little girl hit some unknow combo of buttons and caused the window to close therefore causing my post to be lost to the ether.*** So I’m on my second cup of Rocket Fuel Strength coffee as the little Miss has swapped sleeping patterns [...]
