Educator, mama to two small ones, unabashed lover of tree climbing, striped socks, salty chocolate and snow days. Creator of Alphabet Glue, an e-magazine for families.
Interests: I am a longtime Northern California girl, now unexpectedly making a home in the Boston area. I sew a little, knit a bit more than that, and bake compulsively. This is a little more complicated than it used to be, as our family is learning to live gluten-free after our daughter's recent celiac diagnosis. I am a gardener, an unapologetic multi-tasker, an enthusiastic tidepooler and an armchair ornithologist. I'm doing my very best to raise my children to see the value in being fiercely independent in spirit, and community minded in practice.

I hadn't been, and put down a thick layer of compost last week. They do seem a little bit better now, so I'm feeling hopeful! You know that they say that if you go out and get rid of every snail that you can find three nights in a row you should be able to get them all :)

That is what I want- enough beets for salads!

It's starting to seem like maybe it was a nutritional deficit of some kind. I put a bunch of compost down as mulch, and the other beets seem to be doing a little bit better now. Fingers crossed!

Right? I planted my stuff way too close together and then have been making salads as I thin plants :) Totally my go-to strategy from now on!

I'm pleased to report that things are going remarkably well on the garden front. For the past few years, I've had community garden plots which are great for purposes of growing space and peeking at what other people are up... Continue reading

As it turns out, today is the day that my puppy is not really a puppy any longer. Miso the dog turns two today. It should be noted that I am not a dog person. Or, perhaps more accurately, I... Continue reading

So. That took a bit longer than expected. Being busy with things like chaperoning middle school trips to our nation's capitol and what not, I wasn't super on top of what was happening with the whole Typepad fiasco. But when... Continue reading

Hi all! As you may have noticed things have been a bit out of whack here on the blog for the last week or so. Apparently, Typepad is having some internal server issues that have affected many of the blogs... Continue reading

A couple of weeks ago, I ran the New York City half-marathon with my little sister, who lives in Manhattan not far from Central Park. We fueled up on significant quantities of Mexican food the night before, and arose at... Continue reading

I will! Soon. I've just been crazy busy with family vacation, moving apartments, and studying for my Mass. teacher licensing exams. I'm hoping to be back this week though :)

Thank you, Caroline. I am staying in Belmont. I moved to a new place a few weeks ago, but am hoping I can just stay put for at least the next year or two!

I had originally planned to try to work on my new quilt some each day, the way that I did with the last one that I made. That worked out well; the piecing work never felt overwhelming and I developed... Continue reading

Hi all! As is my custom, I made you a set of downloadable Valentine's Day cards again this year. But then I spent the day today running around to various places and things, including a cermonial procession at the girl's... Continue reading

As some of you might have already guessed, I kind of like projects. And to be busy. And to make stuff. And do things. And, when it gets quiet here, it is often because I am making and doing things... Continue reading

If I were going to write a book about quilting,* it would be called something like The Lazy Girl's Guide to Making Quilts and Stuff. It would be about two pages long, and both of them would be dedicated to... Continue reading
