Ask my son what he wants for dinner and his answer will most likely be “sushi!” Of course, he doesn’t really eat actual sushi, but we go to our favorite sushi spot and sit at the bar. They bring him bowls of miso soup with rice and heaps of tofu and little plates of crab(…)
Gearing up for Jax’s big day tomorrow… He turns 2! You can follow my Instagram photo feed at username “punquin”. Do you have Instagram?
Things have been crazy here! I’ve been doing my normal job (30 hrs/wk of graphic design work), a freelance job and starting party prep for Jax’s 2nd birthday party next Sunday. I may not get sewing time this coming week, but I hope to get a couple quiet book patterns up soon. I’ll keep the(…)
I think it will work out best to do weekly iPhone photo dumps on Saturdays. Fridays are so busy with me trying to get in enough work hours for the week, so it is hard to blog regularly. Life is happily busy right now. Jax turns two on February 5th and I am deep in(…)
Psst! Have you entered to win my hand-sewn quiet book? You have until Thursday at noon! I got behind in my monthly Instagram dumps, so I have a ton to post! I’m thinking I may just start posting them on Fridays. So here is everything up until around last Friday… Are you on Instagram? I(…)

Sorry for the silence! Pre-Thanksgiving I was busy working and prepping for guests. I took the day off on Thanksgiving, then worked Friday and Sunday. Saturday Jax was sick with sneezes and a runny nose so I took care of him while I worked on our family portraits (more on that in a moment.) Of(…)
Happy November! We made it through Halloween and now we are just days away from Jax’s first plane flight. Yikes! Here is a peek at our October via Instagram…
When did you switch your little one from a crib to a toddler bed? We cosleep, but I have been thinking long term and want to establish Jax’s room as a safe, calming place for him to sleep in on his own down the road. Since he can no longer be in his crib unsupervised(…)
We went apple picking today! I can’t wait to make a big batch of apple butter with part of our haul! To read all about our outing and see the full gallery, visit my personal blog. What else should I make with our apples? We got 16.66 lbs!
Here’s my second installment of Life via Instagram! I’m a little overwhelmed that it’s already October… Didn’t summer just start? Here are some of the photos I posted to Instagram (username @punquin) in September.
I had a productive day! Last night, I got the next page drawn in Illustrator for Jax’s quiet book. This morning, I cut out the pattern while playing with Jax in the playroom. We all headed out for breakfast and ran errands (including finally finding a 4 in 1 coat for Jax for just $32(…)
