Sun-kissed & Things Missed
Well, we’re into Week 7 of our “stay-at-home”/quarantine. I’m not even sure what to call it anymore. But here we are. I think it might actually be getting easier. Scratch that, it’s easier. Just knowing that we won’t see the kids return to school for May and the end-of-year activities, while sad, is also little […]
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 […]
Resuscitation
Hellooooo!? Is anyone out there? I can’t believe what’s happened to this blog this spring, but I guess it proves it happens, right? I have missed writing. Where have I been? Tax season swallowed me whole there for awhile. I remember that. And my event planning hat is old and tired. And I’m doing a […]
New Beginning
Tonight, I write. I’ve missed blogging the last couple of nights. I’ve been celebrating birthdays–mine and this blog’s–and the anniversary of my journal-writing. So I’m 34. I’ve been keeping a journal for 22 years and blogging for two. Pretty amazing. Actually, maybe pretty amazing that I’ve done anything else. Oh, but I have. My actual […]
Sunday Night Clean
It’s that time of year. We spent most of the afternoon at the lake. I came home with four muddy kiddos, one of them in their underwear, and more than a load of laundry. Within an hour, I found a tick. Some pink cheeks and noses. Yep. It’s summer. (Practically!) I am bone tired. A […]
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 […]
Spring is Our Reward
Ahhh, what a wonderful time of year! The drudgery of brown grass, brown trees and brown snow, even, if it sticks around long enough, is gone. Now we’ve got amazing color. Bluest skies, greenest grass. And that makes this an awesome time for taking photos, especially photos of kids out and about, wearing the happiness […]
A Perfect Weekend
My sweet Colby and I about to dip into the lake! I’m pretty beat tonight, but I made an effort this weekend to take more photos of my life to share with all of you. After a Friday morning of yard sales with the boys, I headed off to shop with Lily. It was fantastic! […]
Home Tweet Home
Hi sugarpies. I’m feeling a little sour tonight (hormones from hell), so I’m going completely off me to a better subject: LAKE TWEET! Let me tell you a story. Lake Tweet is a man-made lake–some might call it a pond, but I won’t–in Ohio’s beautiful Washington County. It’s on land that once belonged to my […]
