The Good Ol' Snow Days

Posted by Barely Knit Together on Mar 3, 2009 in Homemaking Made Easy, Motherhood

Back when I was a youngster, before global warming and all, we used to have snow SO DEEP we could tunnel through it and make igloos and we would lose children in it for weeks at a time.  It had nothing to do with the fact that I and all my friends were three feet [...]

The Real Mom Quiz

Disclosure:  I occasionally, in a fit of mindlessness, click on those ridiculous quizzes from Facebook.  Go ahead, mock me.  You’ve all done it too and I know it.
Yesterday, there was one purporting to tell me what kind of mommy I am.  From five questions.
I don’t think anyone should be pigeonholed into some arbitrary category of [...]

Mommy Brain Monday

Posted by Barely Knit Together on Feb 16, 2009 in Embarrassing Moments, Homemaking Made Easy

I did some catching up on my blog reading over the weekend.  I mean in between the five loads of laundry, the grocery shopping, the dishes, the sweeping and driving, and all those other things Valentine’s day is for.  Or is that Mother’s Day?
Anyhoo, I found this unfortunate posting from Mom-101 that made me weep [...]

Ready, Set…Go Play

Posted by Barely Knit Together on Feb 12, 2009 in Homemaking Made Easy, Mental Stability, Motherhood, Writing

Where did it go?  The discipline, the commitment?
I’m sure forcing myself to write is no more amusing for you than it is for me, but be grateful that you don’t have a small person dumping powdered milk on the floor in retribution for the lack of attention for ten minutes.  And clinging to your leg [...]

Whistling Already

Posted by Barely Knit Together on Feb 4, 2009 in Homemaking Made Easy, Why you should maybe rethink the whole reproducing thing

In case you thought I had lost my sense of humor about the ridiculousness of this life, I give you this:
Thank you, thank you very much.

The Chaff from the Wheat

Posted by Barely Knit Together on Feb 2, 2009 in Homemaking Made Easy

I have come up with a way to decide whether to purge an item from your home or keep it.
Perhaps to most people, this is easy stuff, and not worth devising a litmus test for, but I have something of a…problem.
I sew things from recycled fabric and sweaters, so I see potential in nearly every [...]

There will be blood. And sweeping.

You remember that Christmas tree in the photo a few days ago?  It’s gone.  Well, actually, it’s halfway gone.  It is actually standing in the doorway beside me as I type.   See?
I have been stuck lately, and I can’t seem to get unstuck.  Maybe this will help.
Motherhood Uncensored recently wrote about having to always be [...]

We Don't Need no Stinkin' Cats (in Hats)

Posted by Barely Knit Together on Jan 27, 2009 in Homemaking Made Easy, Why you should maybe rethink the whole reproducing thing

“Too wet to go out
And too cold to play ball.
So we sat in the house.

Cool Beans

As I sit to type this, my 18 month old is being entertained by the 4 year old, who is throwing Boggle pieces at the ceiling vajh./,.
Sorry, one just landed on my hand.  Anyway, he is attempting to roll an ‘E’, at which point  he will be ‘the winner’.
It’s fine, really, since the Boggle frame [...]
