I thought it would be fun to make our Christmas cards this year, and I've been working on them here and there for the past few weeks. They are nothing fancy, but I like the idea of sending handmade cards. That is, until I ordered the pictures to include in the cards. They are too big by almost an inch all the way around! I can't cut that much off the pictures, so I'm probably going to end up ditching the handmade card idea and just buying some cards. Bah.

One of my least favorite chores is cleaning the bathtub/shower, so when I saw a commercial for this nifty gadget, my interest was piqued. Tonight at Target I went to check it out. There's that old saying about something that sounds too good to be true, so I was definitely skeptical. However, I asked myself if something that even had the possibility of enabling me to never clean the shower again was worth twenty bucks to me, and the answer is yes. Absolutely, one hundred percent YES. I'll let you know if it really works.

I am growing very weary of Steve's being out of town week after week. Just a few more weeks left though, thankfully. After days of not being able to even turn on my sewing machine, last night I finally had a chance to work on some presents. After waking up and needing to be nursed back to sleep about 271 times, Noah finally slept for a decent, and very welcome, chunk of time.
Today was a long day and I really wanted to get out of the house for awhile tonight. I took the kids to Chipotle for dinner, and then made a couple other stops to pick up some provisions for the evening. I tried to forget about sewing and dishes and laundry and all that other stuff, and you know? My night improved drastically when I just let those things go.I haven't posted too many pictures of the kids lately, so here you go.
