Six years

Six! Six years of being married to this guy. Six years of butting heads and putting our heads together. Loving and learning and a whole lot of kid wrangling. I wouldn’t change a thing. Happy anniversary, babe. I love you to the moon and back and all the places […]

Keeping a Gluten Free Kid Healthy at Holiday Parties

Tomorrow is Halloween, as you are aware. And if your school is anything like ours, your kids will be celebrating with more parties and treats than they know what to do with. This was one of the reasons I was nervous about sending my gluten free daughters to school. […]

Through The Lens Thursday: Play

When the girls were performing at the high school football game for their spirit clinic, I took the opportunity to take some pictures. The sun was quickly setting and I was having fun trying some shots. I took this while a few band members were playing the National Anthem. […]

Sarah, Plain and Tall.

Henry started telling me about Sarah, Plain and Tall a few days ago. He asked me if I had read it, and I told him I hadn’t.

He started describing it to me, but couldn’t quite find the words. He brought it up a few more times…not saying much, but […]

Project 365: Week 43

We’re gearing up for Halloween, but not as much as everybody else, I guess…we went to the pumpkin patch this weekend, but nobody dressed up for parties or anything. And is it weird that I’m sad that I won’t be dressing up? I mean, I guess I could, but we’re […]

Through The Lens Thursday: Sweet

A Few of My Favorites.

I’ve been really busy and worn out lately, and haven’t had much time or energy to write here. But, Elaine has some Old School Blogging questions that looked super easy and wouldn’t take much (highly sought after) brain space, so here goes:

Through the Lens Thursday: Deception and From the Ground

So, I missed last week. I wasn’t feeling it. (And yes, I did come up with the prompt “deception” because I DON’T KNOW WHAT I WAS THINKING). I did take a picture or two, so I’ll just do them both here. Okey dokey? Deception Fall around here looks pretty bleak. […]

The First to Nine.

The oldest is nine today. NINE. One more year to double digits. He’s a boy of extraordinary creativity. Spectacular spelling skills. Big brother patience. Overflowing kind-heartedness. A thirst for knowledge, especially history (in his words “wars and disasters”). Freckles, super soft cheeks and big, blue eyes. […]
