I’ve been working on this pattern for what seems like forever! I was in a never ending search for the perfect knit-look beanie and just couldn’t find what I was looking for. I started playing around with different stitches, yarn weights and hooks until I landed on the perfect combination. This pattern is so versatile as it can be worked up with basically any bulky weight yarn and a P hook. So,…
Good morning! We had such a busy weekend and it spilled over to Monday, so my apologies for being a day late in announcing the winner of the pallet clock! The winner is…..Jade! I have sent an email to the email address you entered. Thank you to everyone for entering! I so greatly appreciate you all taking the time to stop by my little slice of the internet 🙂 This is…
I’m totally feeling the fall spirit this year! Can you believe I almost didn’t snap this photo?? Maybe if I show you what it looked like before you can. We have these trees all over town that have been trimmed due to a being too close to power lines, making them look totally weird. But, I don’t hold it against them, they are still pretty trees, albeit a little lopsided. Anyways! I…
When I started this blog a few years ago, it was just a way for me to keep my very spread out family up-to-date on what we were up to. It has slowly evolved into more of a DIY/home/craft blog and while I’m by no means a big blog, I want to make sure I am keeping myself open to new opportunities (whatever they may be). After doing a lot of research…
Good afternoon, my lovely readers! Yesterday, I finally took the plunge and upgraded to WordPress Premium! Very exciting stuff! That being said, when it came time to pick the domain name, it got me thinking about the “brand”. I want this blog to be easily recognizable and it’s name to reflect what it is we do around here! While John and I love Reineke Ramblings (and are totally open to keeping it),…
These boys. I mean, seriously. It was time to get some of that sugar up on our walls. Admittedly, I am terrible at updating the pictures in our house. The frames are still littered with photos of when I was pregnant…with Alex. Also, there are lots of newborn pictures of Alex. Time for Christian to be represented and for Alex to grow up by 2 years. I’ve always loved the look of big…
1)Thirty One ZOUT (Zip-top Organizing Utility Tote): Honestly, I thought my days of a big diaper bag were past. I was having so much luck using just this bag (Vary You Backpack Purse from Thirty-One) before Christian came along. I had another bag in my trunk with extra essentials (clothes, diapers, wipes, burp cloths, and blankies) and it was working beautifully. Until…
Well, okay, do you even know who I am anymore? It’s been about 2 1/2 months that I have been neglecting this blog and I can’t really be sure why. Anything I say will just be an excuse. Promise. I really just didn’t feel like it or had nothing to say or something. Anyways! A lot has happened in the past few months. Alex is now 16 months old and has about…
As runners, John and I are simply horrified at the events that took place at the Boston Marathon yesterday. It hits so close to home that something like this could happen. Please pray for all of those affected by this terrible event. To show your support, you can wear a running or race shirt today.
Good Morning! Today starts the Lenten season and I can’t believe it is already that time of year! Every year, I struggle to think of something to give up for Lent. I usually end up choosing candy, or chips or something equally unhealthy for me. I typically don’t feel like I’ve gained anything after Lent and that got me thinking a little bit harder about it this year. After seeing this story on…
