silvermari & the stick: January 2015

http://www.silvermari.com/2015_01_01_archive.html

Silvermari and the stick. Christian wife, mama, writer, editor and crocheter blogging from Baton Rouge. Haircuts and Page Views. A high school friend is some kind of online personal fitness coach now. I think it's great, but her posts on Facebook crack me up. She's started posting mini clips of her workouts - as motivation and incentive (for herself? How many laughs could I get? Pop Art image found on Google Images labeled for reuse. The year Shawn and I got engaged I made a slew of crocheted Christmas o...

silvermari & the stick: TIBTIL: Picnic Blanket

http://www.silvermari.com/2015/06/tibtil-picnic-blanket.html

Silvermari and the stick. Christian wife, mama, writer, editor and crocheter blogging from Baton Rouge. A thing I bought that I L-O-V-E is my Tuffo Water-Resistant Outdoor Blanket with Carrying Case. Which I purchased from Amazon in 2010 for Shawn's birthday. It was something we used in the parks in New York, which we'd hit a few times a month to read the paper and just hang out outside. Amazon affiliate link used. 6/5/15, 2:02 PM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Subscribe in a reader. Looking to hir...

Silvermari and the stick. Christian wife, mama, writer, editor and crocheter blogging from Baton Rouge. A Little Trisha's Table. I'm a big Trisha Yearwood fan. I have all her albums as CDs and ripped to my iPod (except the compilations they've made over the years mixing up the songs in different ways). I also own all three of her cookbooks. The latest, Trisha's Table: My Feel-Good Favorites for a Balanced Life. The best one we've tried was the "Neat Sloppy Joes". And America's Test Kitchen. Today marks t...

silvermari & the stick: Aqua Aerobics

http://www.silvermari.com/2015/07/aqua-aerobics.html

Silvermari and the stick. Christian wife, mama, writer, editor and crocheter blogging from Baton Rouge. For the first two weeks in July Jane had "water exploration class," i.e. play in the pool and learn a few water safety skills. At the same time I was able to do water aerobics. (The cost of her class and mine together was less than the going rate for private class lessons - so hooray for our local parks and rec for enabling my cheapness! I loved aqua aerobics, and I think I wrote about it last year.

Silvermari and the stick. Christian wife, mama, writer, editor and crocheter blogging from Baton Rouge. Review: Raising Our Children, Raising Ourselves. Raising Our Children, Raising Ourselves. I read this book after seeing it recommended on a message board thread, which I found after googling something like "I'm so mean to my kid! Our bathroom battles have been epic.). There are more complete reviews on Goodreads. And an entire site about people who have been hurt by crunchy parenting.). For Jane's end-...

Silvermari and the stick. Christian wife, mama, writer, editor and crocheter blogging from Baton Rouge. This Time Two Weeks Ago. Sandy toes and salty kisses. It was a fabulous vacation, and maybe I'll get around to writing more about it. Here is me at a happy place:. I bet Jane loved swimming at the beach. 6/2/15, 12:33 PM. The beach/ocean is my happy place too. Ive got to do something about getting there. 6/2/15, 2:00 PM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Please see the Want to Order a Crochet Hat?

silvermari & the stick: Some Thoughts on Week One of Water Exploration

http://www.silvermari.com/2014/06/some-thoughts-on-week-one-of-water.html

Silvermari and the stick. Christian wife, mama, writer, editor and crocheter blogging from Baton Rouge. Some Thoughts on Week One of Water Exploration. Every day got a little better, at least in that I didn't cry myself after that first day. Jane didn't toddle off to class of her own accord and was always handed off, panicked look on her face and crying, to one of the extremely patient and kind lifeguard teachers. We are certainly a memorable pair! So there are pros and cons to the water aerobics, but I ...

silvermari & the stick: No ma'am, I do not like to be called ma'am

http://www.silvermari.com/2015/06/no-maam-i-do-not-like-to-be-called-maam.html

Silvermari and the stick. Christian wife, mama, writer, editor and crocheter blogging from Baton Rouge. No ma'am, I do not like to be called ma'am. Jane and me, at my "tent" where the craft was. An olive oil hand scrub that didn't go over well. Last week was Vacation Bible School at our church. Jane had lots of fun and learned a lot in her first year at VBS. I think the songs were my favorite part, although Jane said she liked making candles the best. That it is not at all fake for her. I am a mom living...

Silvermari and the stick. Christian wife, mama, writer, editor and crocheter blogging from Baton Rouge. Spring Flowers: Scenes from Our Yard. Some Things of Late (or My Lack of Luck). On this same trip there is a marsh fire near/on the Bonnet Carre Spillway and there is backedup traffic for 5 miles in both directions. There is no obstruction on the actual roadway - completely rubbernecking. So frustrating and added an extra hour to our travel time. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Subscribe in a reader. Follo...
