My attempt to become a sewer

For some reason, the desire to try making things with fabric has over taken me, probably due to the website Pinterest. I bought a sewing machine last year before Eliot was born, but wasn’t able to even plug it in until this week. (Not really sure what happened in between) I went online and found [...]

There is some crazy weather going on over here in Europe. Apparently there is a cold front from Siberia that’s sweeping Europe and freezing us all! This morning the temperature dipped to -10c!

Finally, yesterday, the bento boxes that I ordered nearly two weeks ago arrived in the mail. The boxes aren’t anything fancy, just slightly taller than sandwich sized containers but inside are four removable containers.

Now I’m just waiting on the new snack/bento boxes to arrive. Hopefully they will arrive tomorrow as I ordered most of this at the same time. My plan [...]

2012 has become the year of better health in our family. It’s a nice change, and definitely an important one. Now, we were a fairly healthy family to begin with, but there can always be improvements. So far, Dan and I have begun running. We’re both starting as total beginners, running and walking only a [...]

Phew, what a whirlwind day. Lately it seems that everything that could happen is, and all at once. For example, today I went down to Geneva to apply for Carys’ and Eliot’s passports and Eliot’s citizenship card. Thankfully this time I was fully prepared with every document that I might or might not have needed. [...]
