New Normal
There’s been a bit of a shift lately. I felt really great on Sunday. Like I was truly able to see this pandemic situation at face value. The answers seemed easier. I felt a settling in, a sense of calm. I’ll admit I’m not quite as zen after two full days of working at home […]
Snapshot
My twenty-third anniversary of journaling and the third birthday of this blog passed rather quietly last week, a day after my birthday. I kept thinking I would write, but time is so fleeting. I have been wasting post ideas by not letting them grow anywhere but inside my head. And, sometimes, it can’t be helped. […]
Superheroes and a WINNER!
Another super weekend is in the books, and I spent most of it with the superheroes above. My friend Kyla took this photo, as my camera was lost and my cell phone dead. Thanks Ky! She titled it Earth, Wind, Fire, Water! and I love it! Except I think Colby is fire, because that kid […]

I received a very kind note about six weeks ago about my blog with a special invitation to enjoy COSI’s Early Childhood Workshop and tons of other perks as part of a Mommy Blogger event. Well, YES!

Strings of Youth
“I was planted on this earth just after the seeds of tomatoes.” This is an actual first line from a poem I wrote in college. I don’t have the whole thing in front of me now, but it wasn’t as terrible as the first line might make you believe. Tonight, I’m thinking a lot about […]
Sounds of the Season
I’m not afraid — at all — to admit that I already have about a month, or even six weeks, of Christmas music in my system. That’s right, folks. I think I heard my first strains of my absolute favorite Christmas album — “Home for Christmas” by Amy Grant — in the last couple days […]
