I love sneaking up on Molly with my camera when she is being naughty. No, I don’t laugh (in front of her) to encourage the behavior. But, I do snap her picture, usually with my iPhone cause it is always near by. She is so darn curious, independant, and risky, that I can’t help but [...]

Ummm….cool. Now we get to have a toddler bed at 18 months! Well, at least she looks a.dor.able in her baby barista apron. (which of course was NOT on her during sleep.) P.S. Sorry Grammies I didn’t give you a, “You might not want to see this!” advance warning. Have a good weekend!

I know things, around the house and in my heart, are out of whack when I am too feisty with every one. When I feel: Too snowed in Too sick and tired of being sick and tried (I’ve got to beat this illness!) Too jumped on, called after, and whined to Too impatient. Try as [...]

I am strongly leaning toward taking the Christmas tree down tomorrow. I know I said I’d linger in Christmas for weeks to come but… The tree is looking a bit stressed: The manger scene under the tree looks more like a bus station with people littered all about. The, “No, Molly!”, effect has long lost [...]

I suppose New Years has become a symbol for change. Change of calendar, change of….well maybe, the calendar is the only change I can think of right now, but you know what I mean. Things like regrouping priorities, goal planning, and praying for peace and all of that. So here are some priorities for me [...]

I am not tempted to make a check-mark on my list called, “Take down Christmas”. My bathroom’s red and green fingertip towels are in no danger of being sequestered to the attic any time soon. I love the twinkle lights, in and on my home, that brighten the dark, wintry nights that lie ahead. The [...]

…at least that is what the song says, right? Summer, in all it’s sandy glory, is pretty wonderful too. Here are some wonderful things from this time of the year, in no particular order. 1. Felt snowflakes; I made a garland of white lights and a variety of gray snow flake ornaments for over the [...]

I feel like I am sitting down with an old friend as I open my blog tonight. My new ballerina-style fuzzy slippers are warming my toes. I am finally drinking water after drinking exclusively spiced cider, marshmallow-cocoa or specialty coffee for last who-knows how many days. Dry furnace air and hauling kids around makes me [...]

Mommy’s Little Helpers Okay so the good thing about not reinstalling freshly painted kitchen cupboards? Time. Time to see and study all the shovings done for shove-sake in the inner depths of my kitchen cupboardry. Also time for Molla and Ry to bring digging in tuperware to a higher art form. This week as been [...]

Advent Begins Christmas is coming! I have been totally relaxed about Christmas this year. I was going to follow a Count-Down-Calender to be super organized and unstressed. Turns out I don’t like actually following rules, directions or other people’s list (no matter how brilliant they are) when it come to the Holidays. We strung a [...]
