  • October Photo Dump

    Anne of Green Gables said, “I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.” Me too, Anne. The colors here are breathtaking.  The air is crisp and cool.  The smell of fireplaces fill the air. October is my favorite time of year. I don’t have too much to say, I just wanted… Read more

  • All About EK

    I’ve got two reasons for this post. 1) my kid is darling 2) I occasionally run into ‘online’ friends  face to face who say they miss seeing my kid on Facebook. Okay three reasons 3) I need to document the cute, funny, wise, serious things she says and does, and the baby book isn’t cutting… Read more

  • Looking Out My Front Door

    I live in a very cool place.  Not braggin’ or anything, just stating facts.  I have come to really love it here, and why not?  I am in the midst of the Creator’s glory.  Truly. Mountains, streams, wildflowers, and trees. One of the perks of living in a very cool place is that sometimes I… Read more

  • You Dance Over Me

    I’m not sure what it was that woke me in the middle of the night.  The dream.  The fact that my left leg was asleep from stem to stern.  Or my big barking dog in the backyard.  Whatever it was, I was awake. I wiggled my leg, feeling the pins and needles begin to subside;… Read more

  • C’ est La Vie

    Do you ever have moments in your life when you realize you don’t even know who the hell you are?  Maybe I’m the only one.  But sometimes, I can’t believe the way I behave or the thoughts in my head and I have to pause and say, where did that come from.  That’s not like you.… Read more

  • Pack up all my care and woe

    Right now I am drowning in this parenthood thing.  Drowning, I tell ya.  The most frequent thought that runs through my head is packing a little knapsack and running away. Far, far, away.  Seriously, I’m considering getting a job just to get a break.  Is that crazy?  Really I should have a handle on this… Read more

  • What happened when I quit Facebook

    I quit facebook.  It was huge for me.  I think either today, tomorrow, or the next day marks two weeks.  Two weeks! I don’t even know why I did it, except that somewhere in the past few years, months, weeks, or days, when it happened I’m not sure, but at some point, I kind of… Read more

  • We Call It Rocky Muffin

    I’ve never been a cat person, mostly because my family was dog people and I’ve never had an opportunity to be a cat person.  That, and the fact that I’m allergic.  I didn’t discover I was allergic until I was about 18, and so I mostly just avoided them after that.  It’s not that I… Read more

  • Building a Duck Pond

    The past two days, EK has woken at six bells.  Because the sky is not dark, she thinks it’s time to get out of bed.  I wholeheartedly disagree with this concept.  Yesterday morning, I handed her my phone with Peppa Pig primed and ready to view, rolled over, and went back to sleep.  Some days, you just gotta… Read more

  • Dirt Baths Aren’t Just For Chickens Anymore

      I have this little girl who is as prissy as they come. She insists on wearing dresses and silver high heels everyday. We fight over her hair, already.  She wins. She’ll only wear dresses that have a sash on it. She compliments my make-up (when I wear it) and comments on other girls’ clothes… Read more
