Happy holidays!
I hope everybody has been having a lovely holiday season...we sure have over here! Fairly low-key, with a few big surprises thrown in...
I haven't taken a single photo. (!) Shame on me! Aside from a twin toddler photo shoot I did a couple weeks ago, my camera has been collecting dust on a shelf. Anyone know where I left my photo mojo? I didn't even document my darling toddler's Christmas shenanigans! Help!
I've been doing some knitting (hats galore! toddler mittens! socks!) and some sewing and some quilting. Maybe if I find my photo mojo, I'll actually remember to snap a few photos of the finished objects and share them with you!
There's a few recipes in the queue to share - cashew tamari dressing, for starters. (Oh, the yummy...) But largely we've been eating a lot of truffles and cookies and popcorn and other festive goodies. Hopefully that will change now that the holidays are approaching an end.
This is a vacation week over here and I'd like to say that I might catch up on some blogging but in reality I will probably be doing a lot of napping, a lot of knitting, some reading and a bit of baking. Now if that pesky photo mojo would just show up, I could document it all...
Hope you all had a decent 2011 - I have very high hopes for 2012!

30 days of thanks: day 22, 23, 24
Oooops.
I forgot!
Well, on the 22nd I was thankful for a relatively healthy child, despite the fact that she woke up with a cough in the middle of the night and coughed so hard she puked all over me, herself, the bed... All in all, she's a healthy kid and I couldn't be more grateful!
On the 23rd I was thankful for our mere dusting of wet, slushy snow, instead of the 6-10 inches that was forecast! I am already missing several work-at-home days this month, due to holidays, and I couldn't afford to keep E home from daycare so I was really glad she was still able to go!
Today I am thankful for everything in my life this day: my beautiful daughter, wonderful husband, fantastic family, pie, mashed potatoes and especially...stuffing. Ah, my favorite part of turkey day.
Happy thanksgiving to all who celebrate it! And happy Thursday to all who don't!

happy new year!
That's how we spent our New Year's Eve. Dancin' it up at a baby dance party in the early evening! Oh, how times have changed... We had a blast!
I've decided that this will be the year of efficiency. Yes. Efficiency. I believe it's going to involve some sort of white board and some careful habit-forming on my part. I feel like my life has gotten away from me a bit lately, and not only due to having the wee one. I'm not spending my time as wisely as I should and I aim to change that! So hopefully 2011 will see me and my household being more efficient with out time, money, food...and everything else. Most of my other resolutions (if you can call them that) are small, day-to-day things...
take my vitamins
do the laundry on time
meal plan
try to get enough sleep
go ice skating
devote more time to the yarn business
eat more Brie
make time for M
take more photos
etc, etc, etc...

One week ago, we were celebrating E's very first Christmas Eve...she loved the lights! And the bows. Have a safe and happy evening and a wonderful 2011!
