Jinx the buy me a coke/soda thing is from SNL???

We are a house divided that cannot stand… 😉

I am a pop girl (from Buffalo, NY which qualifies itself as midwest when it comes to accent and other speech -isms) and my husband is from Syracuse, a mere 3 hour drive east, where they have some sounds that are suspiciously downstate and use the…[Read more]

Nicole has said Tildy is a dag, I think it means cute/funny — she was doing a cute pose in a photo. I’m not sure if it’s something you call your own kid, but it would be too familiar to call somebody else’s kid a dag? Can it apply to animals or nonliving objects?

And what are maccas?

Okay, cool. Thanks for all the ideas! Nicole, I love the photo of your niece and she looks very grown up in the dress. I laughed when I clicked on the link to your sheep dress because I became completely obsessed with it a few weeks ago! I couldn’t find the fabric in the dark grey but did in pink which my 5yo loved. Too bad the Playtime I already…[Read more]

Also not a dealbreaker, but when I read from my phone the right margin of the post bleeds off the edge where I can’t see it. I tried to shrink my screen, no luck. It’s just off the edge. I use a Galaxy S5 so the screen is plenty large.

Totally love what you did. Great combination.

Here’s one for you. We carry our groceries in a bag and carry them into the house from our van. My sister in the North West puts her groceries in a tote and totes them into the house from her rig. I always thought that was funny. She drinks pop and we drink soda. We are in Texas and She is in Alaska.

Thanks, Nicole!

@vothgirl That’s very sweet! I think our daughters are probably a similar age. I can hear my two year old ‘reading’ stories to her cot toys before she naps. ‘Babbit dis is Peppa Pig’ etc.

I love the unmoderated comments of small children. Lady E is currently obsessed by noise ‘Noise, noise, wat dat mummy? Car noise mummy, bang and pop mummy’…[Read more]

This is not something wrong, but just how something works — might be useful to others. I had a list of notifications, a mixed bag of replies to threads I’d posted in and friendship requests. I clicked ‘read’ on the friendship requests in order to read them — but that marks them as already-read. I wasn’t quite sure how to find them again to…[Read more]

I inherited Robin’s, yes! And immediately switched over to her method. She keeps the tracings in one of those large paper envelopes that will hold 8.5 x 11 sheets of paper unfolded. One envelope per tracing size, with her notes on each envelope about whether she adds length, any errata. It’s a great system and I don’t execute it as well as she…[Read more]
