This is Dani Smith

I am Dani Smith, sometimes known around the web as Eglentyne.  I am a writer in Texas.  I like my beer and my chocolate bitter and my pens pointy.

This blog is one of my hobbies.  I also knit, sew, run, parent, cook, eat, read, and procrastinate.  I have too many hobbies and don’t sleep enough.  Around here I talk about whatever is on my mind, mostly reading and writing, but if you hang out long enough, some knitting is bound to show up.  

Thank you for respecting my intellectual property and for promoting the free-flow of information and ideas.  If you’re not respecting intellectual property, then you’re stealing.  Don’t be a stealer.  Steelers are ok sometimes (not all of them), but don’t be a thief.

    A Happy Birthday post (a few weeks late) for my Winter Solstice kid.  

    A little pre-birthday artwork…


    Watch the paint, not the mom!

    We partied with friends and family.  For his birthday meal he wanted shrimp and pasta.  For a cake, he wanted the ever-popular cupcakes baked in ice cream cones, with a scoop of mint chocolate chip ice cream on top.  He opted out of a pinata this year, preferring to go with the springtime favorite, the cascarone for mess-making.  

    The kids thought it was great fun that we let them smash the eggs inside the house (it was cold and dark outside).  I thought it was fun too.  


    Lava lamp, ice-cream-cone cupcakes, cascarones, and a giant bowl of Christmas candyAnd some presents are just so much fun to open.  This one clearly surprised him, even though he sort of knew about it.  

    Tiny helmets!!
