Finding Opportunities for Concentration to Understand Something -Jess @ Just aBlink I don’t often have time to think. Sounds dumb, but it’s true. Spending time in a good ‘think’ to remember where I’ve been and where I am going is a wonderful blessing. Much of my attention while raising little ones is focused on the who, [...]

Just a Blink Readers: Hang on with me…I may be going off the deep end with my next post series (which may take form in monthly or daily posts depending on how it goes). hmmm…I sure hope there are floaties in the deep end. Anyway, there will be plenty of craftiness and photos of the [...]

As if unexpected car repairs (leaving me stranded in a snow storm for an hour); leaky faucets (ruining everything under the sink and more); a goose egg on my dear Molly’s fore-head; and watching my G-ma GG come near to the end of her days is not enough…my Uncle passed away 7 days before Christmas.
