♥ i don't know why i have never made pancakes from scratch before! well, that will not be happening again. i am so happy that cate insisted on pancakes, even though the little red box (a certain lady jemima) in the cabinet didn't have enough mix left to make the teeniest of pancakes. a quick search of allrecipes.com, and we were on our way to good old fashioned pancakes (with blueberries thrown in for the last 3). seriously, so good and so easy...i think i'll mix up a couple of batches of dry mix to keep on hand.
♥ today, driving to school was a much better experience for all involved (i've already blocked yesterday's shout+cry-fest from my mind). most days the backseat discussions keep me totally entertained. this morning, eme launched into her list of "lifelong dreams to make come true":
1. walk on the
2. milk a cow. [this is actually the *secret* lifelong dream, so shhhhhhh...don't tell anyone, okay?]
3. hang something (ANYthing, momma!) from the rearview mirror.
♥ lily *loves* to read, and this makes me one happy momma!
♥ some mornings it is pointless to try and clothe cate. i suppose that you can only "be a naked babyyyyy!" for so long, so why not? and the cuteness factor is through the roof.
♥ i don't visit with friends enough. yesterday was double-the-fun...we spent time with verena and her duo in the afternoon and got to see beki and her little pixie in the evening (with sneak-peeks of the book, of course...beki is in it, after all!)
♥ i have one day left to get my dqs10 quiltie done! it took me a while to get going on it, as i so often second-guess myself in this swap. i think i'm good, though. fingers crossed!
♥ i need to set aside time for my blog...among many, many other things, of course, but i'm thinking you get what i mean, yes?
♥ taking daily photos for my 365 has been a really nice. now if i could just upload them daily, i'd be golden.
♥ as i sit here typing (while lily + eme are at school and cate is drawing right beside me), i wonder if my blog-y/flickr-ing friends feel pulled in a million different directions on a daily basis??? and if you, like me, do feel this...how in the heck do you make it all work? yea, i know. there is no pat answer, but suggestions are always good. and maybe comisseration is better?! but not nearly as productive. meh.
♥ we surely do have a busy weekend. ack...so much to do!
♥ be mindful that beauty is where you find it.

Your heart quilt is one of the prettiest things I've seen in a long time. It fills me with smiles.
If you figure out how to do everything in your days, pass it along! = )
You and your girls are full of the cute. xoxo
Those sneaky peaks of the bunny can't disguise the fact it's pretty cute :)
I feel pulled in all directions at once too, wish I could give you sage advice but sadly not. I do wonder if concentrating on doing (and completing!) one project at a time might help, but you can't really complete kids before moving onto dinner or working. Curse of the modern woman perhaps, our expectations take more time to fulfill than there are hours in the day.
Ack! This quilt is fabulous & I'm totally jealous they got to peek in your book before me! We can talk @ the zillion direction thing next week when we catch up. Have I mentioned how PROUD I am of you!?!

I was going to ask you how you manage to get it all done? I guess that IS the $1,000,000 question! Of course we could always run to the store and "buy" class treats, birthday gifts, etc rather than make/bake them to free up some time. Nahh... not nearly as much fun! I'll take the lack of sleep. ;)
For what it's worth I love looking at your blog and pictures, keep up the good work. You inspire me!
I always find beauty in your blog, good to see you back.
Just found your blog (and love it!). A trick I use to cope with the wonderful chaos of life : nothing is forever so I ask myself what I'll miss if I don't focus on the moment and mostly it works. :)
