what i do with my child-free time: a photo essay by me

I spend several hours making this:


and for a closeup:

hope aurora likes it, lisa.
Question o’ the day: What do you do with an unexpectedly unscheduled day? What would you like to do?
Great. Big. Nap.
Nap. Brunch. Movie. Fun. Peace. Re-fuel.
Thank-you Mama!
Awesome!!! I’m sure Aurora will love the new sleep sack. And Brian will love that it’s not pink!
As for an unscheduled day, we usually spend them making and eating an elaborate brunch, doing as few chores as possible, reading stories, going to the park, etc. Pretty wonderful, although there’s always that lingering guilt about all the important things we could have been accomplishing. There is no such thing as an unscheduled day without A&B; if I want to ditch my family for a couple of hours, I have to schedule it!
Hmmm. Read a book (NOT a parenting book! Haha!), have a nap, eat lots of desserts and fruit, go for a relaxed stroll, sew something fancy, and sit for an hour at the piano, singing and playing!!
I’m so sorry the first sleep sack didn’t work out, but the smaller one is great! She really likes it, and has no problem wearing it – other than the usual, “NOOOOO! No bed! No sleepsack! No nap!” White noise for me, I’m afraid.
