So, This Happened …
DH woke me to tell me we have chicks! OMGoodness, they are so stinkin’ cute! Now the pressure is on him, as these babies will need their coop within the next 3-4 weeks … We talked at length and settled on some plans for building the raised bed garden. Here’s my non-architect sketch. Those are …
Hello … Spring???
Where are you? Michigan and spring are so NOT-IN-TUNE with each other … So, while we’re experiencing frequent snowfall in between teaser-weather days, I’ve been cooking. We made Seafood Alfredo, a big pot of Spinach Sausage Bean soup (with added vegetables), and tonight we tried Zucchini Noodles with Avocado Pesto – with a substitute … …
Bring on the Spring …
I have spring fever. I am so ready to do some things in the yard. I’ve been reading up and watching YouTube videos, and I think this year DH and I are finally ready to bring home some chickens! I’m so excited. But first, we’ll be converting an old shed into a coop for them. …
It’s called FAITH!
… I needed to remind a couple family members of this recently. I’m an ER nurse. [Apparently, I’m also AN ESSENTIAL … (Wow – doesn’t that sound post-apocalyptic! You and me Daryl – We Got This! )] But honestly – it’s just FAITH … I struggled with this early in my nursing career. When we …
A Quick Escape …
From Margueritaville – where NO Corona is served! [HaHaHa!!! … while pounding chest!] I received my new Tim Holtz alcohol inks today (ordered back in late January/early February). So, I had to pause for a moment and try a J.McGuire technique. Maybe, 1): I shouldn’t be so SURE of myself [Umm, listen and follow all …
Getting back up – dusting myself off …
After last week’s huge mental blow, DH and I are starting to correct the insurance situation. I’ve reached out to my employer’s HR, but don’t hold much hope for assistance. In the meantime, I’m cooking like a fiend. And making cards. And making desserts. Apparently keeping busy is helping me … So, we’ve tried a …
Back on Track …
We struggled in the nursery for a bit, as our Gina had her pups on Friday. Juggling the needs of the babies, new Moms, the rest of our four-legged crew and dinners … Whew! As we watch the newborns 24/7, DH and I flip to our best schedules – he takes the day watch and …
Pup Watch & Staying Busy …
As a first time mom, Georgie and her pups are doing great! She has even adjusted to having a whelp-mate in the nursery, as Gina is waiting for her pups to arrive (- and growing bigger by the minute!) … So, DH and I are staying close. I’m so grateful we have a finished basement …
Busy … But with Downtime
We’ve had a busy week … welcoming pups on Tuesday. Our Georgie is doing a great job as a first time Mom, but we’re staying close to keep an eye on all. So – I’ve had plenty of time to work on cards – stamping, masking, die-cutting, coloring … And(!) – I organized my growing …
Birthdays, Card Making & EPIC
Wrapped up all of my mandatory nurse classes last week, YAY! Got through the weekend shifts, and heard such bizarre complaints, I can’t even mention them… My goodness, but folks are losing coping skills by the bucket-loads! Moving on … On Tuesday, DH and I made nachos, making the chips (cut tortillas) in the air …
