Here's to New Beginnings....

Well, here we are again.  I am in a funk and I have somehow found myself back here on the blogasphere...I've attempted (and been somewhat successful) at maintaining a blog for various experiences in my life.  I did a really good job blogging about being in Saskatoon Saskatchewan in 2008 with Phantom of the Opera, an okay job at it while on the road with Star Wars in Concert (although to be fair we didn't always have an internet connection) and then somewhat sporadic with our Eddylow Blog...I should probably get back to that at some time...

I am a successful "blogger" when I feel really passionate about what I'm writing about...and I think with the recent changes to things Mick and I are doing (or in my case NOT doing) I have the time the energy and the want to really start writing consistently. I pretty much have a running commentary in my head from dealing with the people I live and work with here in the Windy City, ideas for a million craft ideas and a rant or to as well.  I won't bore you all with my goals.  Though you can be sure I have some lofty ones ;) But I do hope that I will be able to just share a little bit more of me...and whatever that entails at that particular moment.

So here's to 2012, complete with changes and new opportunities.  See you all at the end, that is if the world doesn't implode before then ;)

Hirsut-wha? | This WONDERfilled Life

Hirsutism (HUR-soot-iz-um) is a condition in women that results in excessive growth of dark or coarse hair in a male-like pattern — face, chest and back. (Per the Mayo Clinic ). A few weeks ago, and I was so thankful you couldn’t see my beard in the morning sunlight. Something I’ve had to check my pictures for for years now. I struggled trying to decide whether I wanted to write this post.  On one hand…if you know me IRL (in real life) this description shouldn’t come as a surprise, y’all can see my face.  On the other hand, I’ve managed to sort of ignore the issue publicly and shining this direct light on the issue and therefore my face makes me uncomfortable as well, but I want my kids to know that people are all made differently and choose to deal with those differences differently and so here I am…telling my story in the hopes that in the coming year I have some AMAZING after photos! I’ve struggled to manage the hair on my face for over 10 years now.  It started innocently enough, p

When "Doodie" Calls | This WONDERfilled Life

I can have the best laid plans…but when “doodie” calls…I drop everything and take care of it.  I started a really awesome (I think it will be awesome) project two weeks ago for my horn.   I was in the designing phase and decided I needed some black mesh.   Cut to me tearing my sewing studio apart looking for one of THREE stores of black mesh that I know I own.   I couldn’t find a single one…so I decided then and there that I would organize my fabric after my year long crafting challenge (more on my trials of de-cluttering soon).   I got a ton cleaned up…but as I was organizing, I found a diaper cover half repaired and I realized I should probably finish that and just get it out of the area.   I finished fixing the cover and wouldn’t you know it we started having problems with every other diaper cover we own… If you didn’t know already, we’re a little crunchy…when I was pregnant with P I knew I wanted to cloth diaper.   I would stay up late throughout my pregnancy resear

IKEA Stomma Clock Hack | This WONDERfilled Life

Remember last post when I talked about doing things for myself and limiting the time I work on things for others? I've been trying to utilize the "Pomodoro Technique" more.  I was introduced to this term and time handling method a few years ago, and I've found that when I feel overwhelmed or get too bogged down in a project (whether for myself or for others) this really helps me to limit my brain power and keep things fresh.  For those unfamiliar : The  Pomodoro Technique     (per   Wikipedia )  is a   time management   method developed by   Francesco Cirillo [1]   in the late 1980s. [2]   The technique uses a   timer   to break down work into intervals, traditionally 25 minutes in length, separated by short breaks. Each interval is known as a   pomodoro , from the   Italian   word for ' tomato ', after the tomato-shaped kitchen timer that Cirillo used as a university student. [3] [4] I'm using it today to knock out some more things on my GI
