A few months ago I got on a Do-It-Yourself planner kick. I love having a paper planner even though I rarely ever use one for anything other than meal planning and grocery list making. But I had big plans for the one I was making. Surprise! I use this one for exactly the same things [...]

How I Became a Professional
September 17, 2008 – 9:51 pm
I am embarrassed to say that I was a little bit cocky when I graduated from college with my design degree. I didn’t understand why people (clients) wouldn’t listen to me when I would tell them what was best for their project. I thought that taking their input and making changes to my work was [...]
Nerd Font Lurv
September 13, 2008 – 11:30 am
I started seriously paying attention to fonts when I was in college. I switched majors sometime in my junior year and began art/design classes. In one of my first design classes, I cut four Copperplate letter “T’s” out of Styrofoam so that I could lock them together, ink them and use them to make pattern [...]
No Room In Your Bag
September 9, 2008 – 3:11 pm
We’ve been Groovlily fans for a while now. Stephen and Brendan became friends over the internet eight or ten years ago and we were fortunate enough to get to see the band play live while we lived in North Carolina. (Brendan playing keyboards, dancing around minus his shoes = the awesomest!)
I was doing some errands [...]
The FrankenMac
September 7, 2008 – 1:42 pm
This past May, Stephen asked me if I might want an older Mac laptop his company was retiring. I asked him how old the laptop was and what kind of prices they were asking. The price couldn’t be beat! It was missing the bottom cover but it was going for $2. He took the cover [...]
The Fantastic Adventures of Kreeli and Bliza
September 5, 2008 – 9:00 am
We were outside at the playset one afternoon this past week and Eli requested I tell him a story. He’s always making up stories so I guess he decided he needed a break from all the work and wanted to hear someone else’s made up stuff.
I might be crafty with a glue gun and paper [...]
Liza & Sleep: How Far We’ve Come
September 3, 2008 – 8:49 am
Remember the bad old days? The bad old days weren’t so long ago. That last part of sleep training was posted May 20th, so only a few months ago.
In the past week we’ve had another step forward in Liza’s sleeping. She is now able to tell on her own when she needs a nap. She [...]
“Misty Says, ‘Woo!’”
August 30, 2008 – 10:29 am
When we were in college, Stephen took me to see Pink Floyd in concert. This is standard mating ritual for the nerd set.
He loaded eight of us into his parent’s Suburban and we drove the five hours to Texas Stadium in Dallas to see the show. Sounds like a great college road trip, huh?
Except [...]
I hate Mondays!
August 25, 2008 – 3:07 pm
I knew there was a good reason to hate Mondays. Rainy ones are even worse. Vomit and poop make it uglier. 30 minute naps all around after all of the above equal the kind of pain associated with giving birth.
Say, when is Daddy coming home?
Frying Pans, Fire, You Know the Drill
August 21, 2008 – 10:28 pm
I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed today. I realized this afternoon that I have about 17 frying pans in the fire and I’m trying to keep my hair from burning as well.
School has started back and I always forget that, even for pre-school aged children, the wheel starts turning again come fall. Eli and Liza [...]
