Versatile Blogger Award
One of my new blog-o-sphere friends, Dacia from thirtythreeandcounting, recently received the Versatile Blogger award – and she totally deserves it! She posts about all sorts of things – from weight loss, to inspiration, to philosophy, crafts and more. She puts a lot of thought into her posts and they are always a pleasure to read! Well, as part of receiving the award, recipients name several other bloggers to receive the award, and she most graciously named me as one of them! It was so nice to see it waiting for me in my email =) – especially since I am new to the blogging world…wait a minute, its been almost 5-6 months now! I guess that is pretty long…
Anyways, thanks Dacia for the kind words about my blogs and for the award!
So as part of the award, I would like to award the following 5 blogs the Versatile Blogging award as well (there are several others I would have included, but I they have already received it at least once if not more!)
…in no particular order…
1) MELISSA NOT DUSTING: http://melissakoski.wordpress.com/
2) I MADE YOU A MIX TAPE: http://sayitwithmusic.wordpress.com
3) COFFEE GROUNDS TO GROUND: http://groundtoground.org/
4) SUMPIX: http://sumpix.wordpress.com
5) Tinkerbelle86’s Blog: http://tinkerbelle86.wordpress.com/
And for the last part of the award: a few facts about myself:
1) I am a hospitalist (or internal medicine doc) by training…and work doing that part time
2) After having my daughter 2.5 years ago, I have yearned to have more of my life occupied by my family and daughter than work, ad have since started working only part time…and i LOVE it
3) I have a new found love and obsession with crafts…it is getting quite expensive
4) I have fallen asleep while standing, while talking face-to-face to a person and even while eating with my fork in mid-air. =)
Daily glimpse #17
our HUGE zucchini leaves! I definitely underestimated how big these plants would get (that’s what I get for not heeding my mother-in-law’s warnings!). So now they are taking over. We even had to move the japanese eggplants that were next to them because they were being completely covered by the leaves and getting no sun! I need to buy a trellis to keep them away from the other plants..hopefully tomorrow!

Daily Glimpse #14
Preparing the pool. R has been really cute about following L around while doing pool maintenance. Here is a shot of today’s rounds.
…now if we can only get ourselves to get into the 70 degree water!
A friend of mine just brought a beautiful, perfect baby boy into the world, and I made these stuffed blocks for him to play with! I was tempted to use fabric that I thought was really cute and “baby like” – but I went with these black and white patters since babies cant really see colors but are drawn to patterns. I used felt to applique his initials onto the blocks too!
You can check out my previous post on making stuffed blocks for info on where I found the tutorial to make them!
Stay tuned for a stuffed penguin tutorial coming soon!
Daily Glimpse 13 – stuffed love
I made a stuffed toy for R this weekend, and yesterday morning shortly after I gave it to her, she burped up some milk all over it. So I washed it and stuck it in the dryer. Before I put it in however, she gave it a hug, a kiss, and said “Love you.” Then she pulled up a stool so she could watch it go “round and round” in the dryer.
Wish I had a better camera on hand when I took this, but you get the idea.
The Daily Climpse #12: Summer
Spent some time outside cleaning the pool and the surrounding area which we have thoroughly neglected since about September.
R had fun “helping daddy.”
Just liked the feeling this picture gives…makes me think and feel “summer” =)
Photography Giveaway!
Today is exciting for me, because one of my new friends from the blog-o-sphere is doing a giveaway on her blog for one of my photographs! It is so fun to see them up and to see that people like them since usually they wile away their time in cyberspace on my hard drive. Dacia has a very interesting blog that is always from to read and is inspiring to say the least. So check out her blog and the giveaway here!
Have a great weekend everyone!
The Daily Glimpse #11: Reflection
A fun moment by our new espresso machine which is likely leading to the development of stomach ulcers in both my husband and myself…but we sure do love it!

Weekly Photo Challenge: Water
It may not look like it, but this is a picture of water running through Yellowstone National Park. The colors come from the different bacteria that grow in different temperature water.
