I’ve started back at my job, but only half time and still working at home. So I have the flexibility to work only when OLC is nursing or sleeping. It’s kind of nice to have a little baby sleeping peacefully on my lap while I’m at the computer (never mind that she did […]
MFH got me the premiere issue of Craft: magazine in our first days home from the hospital, when I was basically on bed rest. Basically, crafts for the technological generation–crocheted robots, for example. Finally, a magazine that I actually want to subscribe to. Unfortunately, I’m in a season where I am short […]
