Last night I finished making this ring sling. I wanted a sling that I can adjust because Ollie is getting too big for me to be able to nurse him in my pouch sling. Also, the tail of a ring sling makes for a handy nursing cover. I used the Maya Wrap sewing instructions to make my sling: http://www.mayawrap.com/n_sewsling.php Until a few months ago I had two sewing machines -- my mom's and my

Ollie's 4 month checkup was this morning. He's 14 pounds 2 ounces (or is it 4? I forget already!) and has grown five inches since he was born. He's now a whopping 2'1". :)He was such a happy boy at the doctor's office. We played tummy time, Little Bunny Foo Foo, and read Cat in the Hat. Then it was time for shots. Ollie was not happy anymore!Actually, Ollie didn't scream and cry for too long. I

Almost forgot to take any sort of photo for today. So I decided a shot of the top of my bento box would do in a pinch. This bento box sits atop the end table beside our couch, and holds my iPhone cable, SD card adapter, headphones, etc. when they are not in use. It also serves as a coaster. Pretty handy, that bento box. Posted via email from mochichick's 365 project

I meant to start a 365 project on my birthday. But I forgot. So I guess my 365 project will end on my birthday instead. Anyway the sun is down already and we all know my iPhone doesn't have a flash, so I guess I'll use a fuzzy but cute photo I took earlier this afternoon. I decided to put Ollie on our cat, Musubi, to see how long Musubi would put up with it. Surprisingly, she let him use her as

My friend, Rebecca, loves to cook with her crockpot. She'll cook anything in it, including cakes, which come out quite yummy and moist. She also cooks other kinds of desserts that she likes to call "Wholesome Goodness" because, well, they started off as brownies, but they were just too healthy to be called brownies. She puts all kinds of things in them like bran, fruits, yogurt, and, well,

No fireworks for us this NYE. Just hanging out, trying to keep things as quiet aspossible for the baby (and cats). Just a few pictures from today: Ollie holding his head up while on his tummy; hubby grilling salmon for dinner; me practicing holding Ollie in the Sleepy Wrap, which arrived today.

After having lunch at Cafe Laufer in Kaimuki, we went to 10th Ave for shave ice at Your Kitchen Take Out. They have homemade shave ice flavors in addition to the usual. We tried mango & green tea. The green tea looks like relish! But it tastes ono! The mango was like eating a frozen mango that had been shaved. :) Yummy! At the bottom of my mango shave ice, I also had some of their homemade

Took some pictures of the destruction resulting from the big ice storm my folks' had a couple weeks ago. Some of it has been cleaned up, some hiding underneath the snow. It's just lucky that none of this fell onto their house! It is also lucky they had a wood stove to keep warm with during the six days they were without power.

I arrived at the fire station where our district does its voting, and already at 5:57am there was a line, which was nice to see for a change. I signed in with about nine people ahead of me.
