Olivia talks about the future

Olivia was rocking to sleep with Rob the other night when she said, “I love my little baby.”

Rob said, “Who’s your little baby?”

“Elise. I love my baby.” said Olivia again. “Soon she will learn to talk.”

“Yes she will learn to talk. When she gets bigger.”

To which Olivia replied, “She will say, ‘frisbee.'”

Do YOU Etsy?

You should! Here’s my Etsy shop, which I am finally listing items on.

Yesterday I found a button I could post on our blog to advertise my shop, but now  I can’t find it again. That’s a little frustrating.

So if you are getting lost linking around their site (like I always do) and you come across that button maker thing, let me know ok?

Oh. And if you want a baby carrier, buy one from me!

The thaw has begun

I can see my grass (now that the snow has melted and I’ve cleaned up the debris from over the winter) and it is time to start planning this year’s garden/yard work.

I think that I’m not going to make any new beds this year. I have a hard time keeping up with what I already have. Though I plan to put a strawberry patch in the place of some really ugly plants I ripped out in the fall.

I also want to use my veggie space more wisely this year. I now know that peas grow up (I had no idea last year, embarrassing as that is) and so I can plant my rows differently. Less squash, more peas and beans. Maybe I’ll add something else in there too. We’ll see.

The other thing I want to be sure of is that I don’t neglect mulching the front yard flower beds this year. Last summer we looked like a jungle of weeds. Very embarrassing, but I think people gave me some slack, being enormously pregnant and all.

Happy spring!
