Mamma engineer. redheaded girl. wanna-be hippie. On Mar 2nd, 2012 in kidlets. Anna these days is pure delight. She is so willing to do everything and be everyone’s little helper (slave). She has also taken to cleaning her own bum. She’s not yet 2. I appreciate the thought there anyway. She is all smiles and waves and just starting the NO! Today she walked into the living room, asked for her milk and to have a nap. I know, right? I think if I come back to this space more fully, I need to give up the hope ...

Mamma engineer. redheaded girl. wanna-be hippie. On Mar 14th, 2012 in handmade. Inspired by a doodle-heart embroidery on pinterest, I decided that it would be cool to do up one for each of my kids as a valentine day present. I was right. It was cool. AND IT WAS FREE. I definitely made some mistakes, or rather, I was just lazy and in the end it showed. Claire’s heart is bigger, because I just sort of free-handed them where I probably should have used a template. What i would tell myself. 1 I’d tell ...

Mamma engineer. redheaded girl. wanna-be hippie. Canada – go vote. On May 1st, 2011 in politics. Tomorrow Canada is having (yet another) federal election. We’ve had a minority government now for what? So we will go to the polls once again to elect, well, a minority government I imagine. Although I trust my readers know that I sit firmly on the left. Firmly. Hello lefty friends! This year I have opted to vote swap, and wow! People have VERY strong opinions on vote swapping. The knee jerk reaction seem...

Mamma engineer. redheaded girl. wanna-be hippie. Currently Browsing: local tourist. Local tourist: sooke potholes. On Aug 27th, 2011 in kidlets. A few weekends ago we loaded up the rottens and headed to the Sooke Potholes Campground. I am pretty sure this is the first time we’ve gone camping with just the 5 of us. We usually bring backup (read: someone else to entertain the children while we sit in a chair and drink beer). And others) have been buying up. Chillin in the river. Building, building, building.

Mamma engineer. redheaded girl. wanna-be hippie. On Feb 19th, 2012 in handmade. Last year for Christmas I had planned to make the kids these letter for their doors. I didn’t get them done in time for that Christmas, but I did get them done in time for Easter! At least I’m blogging about them BEFORE Easter shows up on the 2012 calendar. I’m totally patting myself on the back right now. They were inspired, or rather blatently copied from Inspire Me Crafts. It’s a little weird. February 20, 2012 at 8:55 pm.

Mamma engineer. redheaded girl. wanna-be hippie. Currently Browsing: the man. On Oct 24th, 2011 in mommyhood. Steve and I are were chatting the other day and he casually said something like “well, we both get the same amount of downtime every day” to which I snorted. Or maybe said “ha! 8221; The conversation went something like this:. Me: “yeah, no. We don’t.”. 8220;Once the kids are in bed, it’s our time”. 8220;well, you need to make more me time.”. 8220;True.”. The other two times? 8221; Right. I&#...

Mamma engineer. redheaded girl. wanna-be hippie. On Jan 24th, 2012 in handmade. I’m still here just, I don’t know. Uninspired I guess? Busy and tired and when the end of the day comes I don’t feel like writing. I haven’t even started my Christmas newsletter which is ridiculous considering I have a photo for it that I paid for (or at least, will have to eventually pay for) and then what? To finish things. I’ve also resolved to do less housework. Well, not specifically do less housework, just...The whole g...

Mamma engineer. redheaded girl. wanna-be hippie. What i would tell myself. On Mar 4th, 2012 in handmade. Produced by Nummies is making the rounds again – it’s the video where they asked mothers if they could go back to right before they had their first child, what would they tell themselves. It made me think of what I’d tell myself, which I noted wasn’t in the video. And yes, that will be irritating. 5 You will not change. Parenting is not as hard as everyone says it is if you stop and enjoy the awes...

Mamma engineer. redheaded girl. wanna-be hippie. On Nov 19th, 2011 in uncategorized. Now that Christmas 2011 is just around the corner I thought I’d show you some of the creations of Christmas 2010. Many of which didn’t actually get wrapped and placed under the tree. I’ve got nothing. I had a baby? She breastfed a lot? My eyes are bigger than the number of hours that exist in a day? I almost never do that! I knit them using a basic ear-flap hat pattern – from Last Minute Knitted Gifts. This little mobile...
