The December days feel especially full with all the usual things and holiday prep on top of that. I got up and did my morning workout on the Bow Flex. I look forward to my exercise in December because many of my favorite knitters and creatives are posting daily holiday vlogs. I knit while I […]
I’m making progress on my knitting but the catching up is going to take a number of days. I’m up to the third day. There is hope that I’ll get current at some point in December as long as I keep on moving forward. Thankfully, today I had a lot of time to knit because […]
Advent and Christmas prep are in the air. I am really enjoying the drive to Mason’s school each day. There are so many festive houses. I often think of Sophia because she loves to show me the decorations in her neighborhood. I specifically snapped this picture for her. Today was the second day of the […]
Our house woke up slowly today and when it did, we discovered that St. Nick had made a visit. He had left a few small things in the boys’ shoes. They each received an Audible book credit. Mason received Ready Player Two and Walker chose Dragonwatch by Brandon Mull. St. Nick brought Mason a new […]

Advent calendars have always been part of Christmas festivities. In the past, the boys have each had Lego Star Wars calendars but this year, I decided Bill and I should jump on the bandwagon. I discovered a special skein of self-striping yarn that was dyed in such a way that there were 24 unique stripes […]
