An Update On Us in Accra, Ghana, during a Pandemic
Hi. How are you? We are still in Accra. We are fine. We started staying home in mid-March, only leaving to get groceries, and even then that was rare as the grocery stores moved to delivering. Now it’s mid August. We are still staying home for a majority of the time. Our youngest has left […]
What Are You Reading? Seven Books for your List
I can’t concentrate. I can’t focus for long enough to sit and read and enjoy a book. I’ve turned to audiobooks, to “ear read” during this time. Audible and I became fast friends. If you are on Goodreads, let’s connect! I set my reading challenge for the year at 27 books, I figured I could […]
Shelter in Place in Ghana
Let’s get this out of the way – the way we live while living in Ghana is SO vastly different compared to Ghanaians. And so we sheltered in place. We have ordered from grocery stores and had fruits and veggies delivered. It’s been three weeks, and the shelter in place has lifted. The restrictions on […]
In a Time of Crisis
We are into week four of shelter at home/stay at home/quarantine/whatever it’s called. We started staying home a day or so after Ghana’s first confirmed case, school was quickly closed, and a couple of weeks later Ghana put a shelter in place/stay home order out for the larger areas of Ghana. Week one was full […]

You don’t want to miss this – Jennifer over at Craft Sanity is having a sale on the print and PDF versions of the CraftSanity Magazine.

Leather Card Holder Tutorials
I really love the phone cases that we have found here* because they have a small slim wallet area to hold a few things. Not a lot fits in the space, but for my kids it’s enough for their bus and lunch cards. That is great for me because despite knowing where their phones are […]
Scrappy Flying Geese
Ohhh this is such a good idea! I love being able to use up scraps (I started over with my scraps after I gave away an entire luggage full of scraps to the parent group at school) and flying geese are so fun to work with. Look at this tutorial that Heather over at House […]
