    Haelan 951

    Let’s just start this post off with a WHINE. Regulars here at Peanut Butter and Whine know that the pain from my neck to my hands is just getting worse day by day. It’s hard to do things that I really love, like knit, paint, design mugs, crafting and so on. I can only use my hands for minutes at a time before the white-hot stingers hit and I have to stop. (Yes, whine, whine, whine!) that little paragraph required 2 rests. Things I’ve Tried AND Continue To USE I’ve also mentioned the things that I have tried. Starting with carpal tunnel surgery on both hands. Which by the way only angered the nerves and made everything SO VERY MUCH WORSE!

    PatPat Clothing

      This business appears to have closed. BUMMER! I liked these products. HOWEVER!! PatPat on Amazon has some perfect matching outfits too! I know that a lot of the Little Peanuts wondered why I would add Little and Lively to my sidebar. Most of us don’t have littles anymore. So, I wanted to take this time to share a little bit more about this company. It’s NOT just for LITTLES!! Oh my goodness do they have some of the cutest adult items too!! AND for those of you who have littles in the family, whether Grands or yours, the selection is adorable!! From dresses to sweaters, tops to shorts. AND, with summer (eventually!) coming around, you must check out the swimwear! Alice is sooo very lucky that The Non lives in Idaho or we’d be sporting matching suits. I DO NOT care if she is 11.
