Mundanity

**What would be good punishment for a tree? Like one that totally punched out my tail light and smooshed up my bumper?

**Gonna sew a new diaper bag because I can't even zip the one I have. I need to figure out what pockets I need to sew on the lining and divider. Any thoughts?

Seriously, that's all I can think of that's in that thing--why won't the bag zip? Here's the bag I plan to attempt. It's from Anna Maria Horner's book Handmade Beginnings.

**I'm considering making my first quilt, also from this fabulous book.

**Denton's basically 11 pounds. 1 month old. Awesome. He smiled at me on his one month birthday. I was thrilled.

**Especially because I had mastitis, and was super duper sick and pretty much was sure I was going to die. Prayer and antibiotics have done the trick to bring me back from the brink.

**I have since learned that in some cases, royal jelly can be used in lieu of antibiotics. Biotic means "life"--anti "life" is just not that encouraging. I hate that I am on antibiotics.

**Is it a coincidence that mastitis has the word "tit" in it?

**Yesterday Grandma had the girls, so the boys and I went to church and then made a relatively quick stop at Target. When Aviana was two and Brielle was my baby, I thought, "Wow! Super store with two kids; what a chore, what a challenge, what an arduous undertaking!". Now, with a two year old and my baby being half of what I would normally take to the store, I think, "WOW! Super store with two kids; what leisure, what liberty, what a profligate privilege!"
