Hipster Haiku

So I've been checking things off my list like cleaning is going out of style. I even fit in a big gentle 1/2 hour brushin' for my shedding puppy--he looks 5 lbs skinnier now! :)

Lukka's down for a nap and all I have left on my cleaning list is:

  • mop floors
  • vacuum couches
  • 3 loads of laundry
  • and...packing!

Hipster Haiku, by Siobhan Adcock is a small little pocket book with one haiku per page, making this an easy 30 minute read. A little chuckle before bedtime, really. I wouldn't buy this book for the $9.95 Amazon has it listed for, but her website is pretty funny, and the poems are ironic. A good book for my ILL.

A few haiku for you, dear readers:

Sometimes I worry

I'll be the only grandma

With no bicep tat

* * *

While he sleeps, I spy

Ann Coulter on his bookshelf

Slip out quietly

Sarah -- you are my hero! You accomplish so much (home management AND craft projects! geez) and have a little one running around. I am impressed, girl! I love that the Lord not only gives you the energy to do it all but your sweet demeanor at the same time.

How To: DIY Sand/Water Table

How To: Build A Sand/Water Table for Under $30 ! Sorry this took me so long to blog, but I had to have a tool list and full instructions before I could do so. A little history on my love for the sand/water table . I love the idea behind tools for tiny hands, i.e. the Montessori Method , and like to have Lukka 'figure things out for himself', even when he is playing. I try to have the most simple and basic toys available for 3 reasons: a) simple toys generally have less parts, which means less of a hassle for me b) simple toys inspire way more creativity and imagination than do 'exact replica' toys c) they are much more aesthetically pleasing to look at, therefore, not making every nook and cranny of our house an eyesore! I know the last reason is just for me, but it's true. Plastic things don't generally last 1/2 as long as wooden or fabric toys, and they are unattractive. For this reason, I started to look for a wooden sand/water table as opposed to a pl...

We've Gone and Done It

We are in the midst of packing up, and moving. Not just any move, but The Move we've been trying to accomplish for years now. We're heading up to (Washington) Canada. In the last couple of months Stefan had been talking to a potential employer up in Richmond, British Columbia , and after a very swift interview process they offered him the job. Small and large details aside, he accepted and plans to start on February 25th. We leave one week earlier, on the 18th. That's literally just over 2 weeks from when you will read this. We told family and close friends first, and while we haven't been keeping it a huge secret, our church, as a whole, did not know until last night because it was then we could tell everyone at our seasonal congregational meeting what our plans were in person, and with many of them all at once. I didn't want to say anything online until that happened. We've been steadily spending heaps of time with friends and family, all while slowly p...

A portrait of his sister. From Soulemama's blog : A Friday ritual. A single photo - no words - capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember.
