Quotable Olympics
Categories: Olympics
Just like past years I’m “watching” the Olympics with Amanda. We mainly make fun of the commentators who can’t seem to let a moment pass without saying something so they often say really weird things. Iddo is fine with letting a moment pass without saying something, but because of her understanding of the world, in particular sports, she’s also saying some really weird things. Keep reading

An Olympic Menu
The Olympics start tomorrow. In Rio! Ah, Brasil. O país do meu coração. We’re going to be watching a lot of Olympics and I’m going to try real hard to not be annoyed at the American announcers mispronouncing all the Portuguese words.

Two More Turtle Quilts
Categories: Quilting/Sewing/Knitting/Crafting
The thing with twins is that you often have twice as many things to get ready for them but you don’t have twice the time. Which is why it isn’t surprising it took me just over 13 months to finish Shimri’s and Shimei’s turtle quilts. I love that each of our kids’ quilts are unique but that there are elements in each that tie them together too. Keep reading
