Who knew having two little chitlins running around could be so exhausting, overwhelming, and pretty awesome most of the time. Ok, please know that my heart is filled with love for them, a love I have truly never experienced before. But people, there are moments of stress that I've also never experienced, concisely captured by one word.

MEALTIME!!!

That is the way it should be written and spoken, if we're talking about it in my house. It's a sensitive animal, this MEALTIME!!! I seriously have .0067 seconds from when one of my sons feels the slightest hunger-related pang to when FOOD MUST BE IN THEIR MOUTHS. Especially the 14-month-old. I now have some methods. Yes. Like making a large pot of something and keeping little servings of it in the freezer to quickly warm up. The little guy loves peas & barley. And so do I! Truly a godsend.

Anyway, this MEALTIME!!! topic came up because of something only slightly related but totally and completely awesome. I have teamed up with Knit Culture and they've created kits for making my super happy potholders. Remember these guys?


Now you can get this super cute kit, filled with enough yarn to make a rainbow AND a summery slice of watermelon.


When designing these kits, I got to try out Blue Sky Alpacas worsted cotton. Ok, I don't think I can ever use another cotton yarn as long as I live. It is that amazing to work with. So soft, not squeaky, and the colors are to die. The kit is chock-full of this heavenly stuff.

Get a kit for that crocheter you're lucky enough to know, or make them yourself and happify your kitchen! I seriously need all the happy I can get at MEALTIME!!!
