Who’s crafty

Uncategorized 30 January 2009 | 0 Comments

I really wish that I was crafty. I can’t sew, draw, or crochet. I can knit, but not very well. My mom is pretty crafty and made Matilda lots of cute hats, scarves etc.. My friend Angela also crocheted stuff for Matilda like toys, pillows, sweaters etc.. Maybe I have a crafty friend out there [...]

Our company, Hanee Designs, is all about usability. We try really hard to put ourselves in the shoes of a website visitor to create an easy to use, deceptively simple interface for all websites, small and large.

He overturned the global gag rule which is a policy that denies funding to any organization that performs or counsels women about abortion — even if that money was used for other procedures such as HIV prevention or contraception.

I am having a much easier time breastfeeding Mateo than I did Matilda, but its still just awful. It takes forever, and it still hurts. I guess its better than pumping, which makes me feel like a cow. I will try to give Mateo breastmilk for 100 days (as I did with Matilda) and then [...]
