January 28, 2011 by Amelia

Beat the Blahs – Day 2

January 24, 2011 by Amelia

Learn something new Two winters ago, after years of trying, I finally learned how to knit. The problem with my first attempts was timing – I was in college or I was pregnant. But January 2009 proved to be the winning attempt. Winter is the perfect time to learn a new skill. The rush of […]

Beat the Blahs – Day 1

January 23, 2011 by Amelia

No matter where you live, this time of year can be rather blah. The excitement of the holidays are over, visiting family have returned home, and everyone has returned to the routine of work and school, anticipating  spring break.
