the offspring of boodalee and blik
If I was a kazillionare and had nothing else to worry about in life besides decking out my children’s room, I would be having a Boodalee affair. Spending all my money and time immersed in their designs and debating which... Keep Reading...September 16, 2008 | Mama Smith
why I opt for cereal most mornings
While the boys do love their oatmeal and yogurt, I can only take so much clean-up duty before 8am. Levi’s differences from his brother continue to pile up – the talking, the dancing, the fearlessness…and the messiness. B unfortunately seemed... Keep Reading...September 9, 2008 | Mama Smith
makeover
The wallpaper finally got to me. Well, it got to me the minute we moved in, but now it taunts me every morning I wake up with it’s bizarre flowers and their roots floating on a pitch black background. The... Keep Reading...July 23, 2008 | Mama Smith

pants tutorial
I am not a perfection sewer. I am a get-it-done sewer, who forfeits beautifully matched seams and smooth lines for a speedy project I can feel good about completing 20 minutes after starting. This is why my quilting project is... Keep Reading...February 28, 2008 | Mama Smith
vegan mania
The vegan fever has been unleashed in our kitchen. The past few days I have been churning out obscene amounts of food, all in the name of “practice”. I thought I’d need need an army of hungry vegans to help... Keep Reading...February 26, 2008 | Mama Smith
feasting in
My friend, Emily, is vegan chef extraordinaire. Seriously, folks. Just check out her flickr site. A puddle of drool will collect beneath your mouth in a matter of seconds. She’s kindly taking me on as her protege, which began last... Keep Reading...February 7, 2008 | Mama Smith
the silent toddler
The counterintuitive rule of thumb in parenting is that when all becomes still and quiet in the household, you know something is going down. Mischief is being carried out somewhere. One would like to think that silence mean the opposite.... Keep Reading...December 13, 2007 | Mama Smith
blisters and more...
What inspired me to come home and rake our entire backyard for over an hour while the boys slept, after just running three miles in this near 80 degree heat, pushing that annoyingly huge stroller with both hefty kiddos….were memories... Keep Reading...October 4, 2007 | Mama Smith
pieces of life
Washing dishes together last night, I was bemoaning the fact that I still haven’t found a groove yet in my day. Sinking into a routine still feels impossible after being in this home for a month now. Writing, returning phone... Keep Reading...September 30, 2007 | Mama Smith
the clearing
Our jungle of a backyard is no more. Four hours and one hefty skid steer was all it took to reduce our knotted bramble and dilapidated storage shed to a pile of wood and red dirt. I am still in... Keep Reading...July 21, 2007 | Mama Smith
road kill
The other morning, Brighton had his first experience with loosing a friend after finding him smashed in the alleyway behind our house. Trevor the Tractor. His little pocket buddy. He used to carry him everywhere. Somehow he’d been left behind... Keep Reading...June 5, 2007 | Mama Smith
a years worth of fabric
I missed out on the big Philly Sewing Collective Fabric Swap held in April, but Lizzie had connected with the owner of the adorable boy’s clothing line, WonderBoy while she was there roaming around. And had ended up scoring... Keep Reading...May 22, 2007 | Mama Smith
monday evening
Finally! The fruits of boredom have blossomed into creativity…instead of mindless roaming around on the internet, catching up on blog feeds. When I am tired and bored, whatever takes the least amount of effort usually wins. Whereas when I am... Keep Reading...April 16, 2007 | Mama Smith
april showers
Snow showers, to be exact. Who would have guessed mid-April we’d get dumped like this. A view from our side door this morning. A total shock to us all…mainly because we never watch the news or track the weather. I’m... Keep Reading...January 16, 2007 | Mama Smith
passing time
I think B’s finally on the upswing. Even amidst coughing/sneezing fits, he was able to exhibit some more spunk today. Instead of lounging around on the couch and floor, he began pacing his domain again – pulling books off the... Keep Reading...December 15, 2006 | Mama Smith
