Proud Owner of a Sewing Machine!

I'm excited to say that I am now the owner of a sewing machine! It's a 1969 Singer Touch & Sew Deluxe Zig-Zag Model 646. I got it for free off of Freecycle! It's an old one, but it works and it's perfect for me right now since I'm just starting out. I wanted to try and find a free working once since I'm kind of afraid that I'll get so frustrated with it and give up on doing anything with it. Lol. Luckily, a nice lady on Freecycle had one she wasn't using and gave it to me yesterday. I … [Read more...]

Our Family Has Expanded!

On Wednesday we expanded our family! The cutie above, Annie, is our new family member! She's a dachshund/Jack Russel mix. She's over a year old. The couple who had her before lived in a trailer park and felt bad that she couldn't run around like she wanted to do, so they looked for a new home for her. And we were lucky enough to get her! :) Her and Frankie are getting along okay. The only thing right now is that Annie doesn't like Frankie around me very much so she nips at him. But Miles … [Read more...]

Fears When Having a Second Child

This picture is from a couple of weeks ago when Riley was eating off of her first ear of corn. How cute, right? :) Today's Talk About It Tuesday is about a sort-of fear I have. We have such a beautiful, intelligent daughter. Miles and I definitely want to have more children. We're waiting until Riley is potty trained, though, to start trying for a second one. I'm scared, though. Why? How am I going to keep up with two children? Lol. Riley keeps me on my toes constantly and I just … [Read more...]
