Want to see one of my favorite new things?
It’s silly.
When the girls and I were at Michael’s a few weeks ago looking at their Halloween stuff I found this ice cube tray:
Skull and crossbones!
I also really like that the tray itself is a very flexible, rubbery material. It makes removing the shaped cubes way easier.
Here they are in my iced coffee today:
YAARRRRR!!!!!!!!

I'm sure it's true. I often see both parents and nannies lost in their smartphones while their very little children run, climb, and play at the park. What resonates most strongly with me is the section at the end of the article which paints an alarming picture of both the depth and length of distraction these devices provoke.

I’ve been plugging along at the Farmer’s Wife blocks as time permits. Sadly, this week I learned that the local quilt shop where I take Farmer’s Wife class is closing at the end of the year. Suddenly, these blocks are a higher priority as I really don’t want to switch instructors mid-stream. I am about 1/3 of the way through them and will try to get as many done as I can while Cathy is still available to help out when I get stuck.
