Love and Sunshine #iPPP

In case you weren’t aware, Valentine’s Day is Friday. So, in honor of that, I thought I’d share how I show my love.

(Every mom is different. I do things that other moms wouldn’t dream of doing, and vice versa. No judgment.)

1. Superhero surgery.

2. Hugs and kisses before bed.

3. Love notes […]

Through The Lens Thursday: Dull

I bought some Citi Blocks for the kids and I love the colors. I also love the light that comes in the kitchen windows early in the day. Also, the pink bag was from my January trip to Disney. It’s still not put away, but it’s unpacked, so….progress? Also, the […]

Project 365: Week 6

The longer I do this during the winter the less interesting my life feels.

Feb. 2

We sort of watched the Super Bowl, but when the halftime show came on, some of us were really, really interested.

Feb. 3

I didn’t get to my long run last weekend (I usually do it on Sundays), […]

Through the Lens Thursday: Flower

It’s unfortunate that this prompt came the first week of February. I haven’t seen a flower for months!

So, I made Ivy put a flower in her hair (she chose neon orange) and stand in the cold for a minute and a half while I took her picture.

Leading the Way #iPPP

The snow started while the kids ate breakfast, and continued while we drove to school. I took them inside, got them settled in the warm, lively building and shielded my ears and eyes as I walked back out to the car.

I sat with the warm air blowing at my feet […]

Project 365: Week 5

So, it’s February already. I kind of feel there wasn’t much happening in January, except cold. And cold. And some more cold.

Jan. 26

A nice afternoon called for a long run outside.

Jan. 27

Watching the trash truck.

Jan. 28

The end of a long day called for hot chocolate and a movie (The Perks […]

5 Tricks to Help Get Your Stories on Paper

I’m pleased to have Katie Clemons here today, blogger at Making This Home  and owner of the Gadanke shop. I’ve talked about Katie’s Gadanke journals before, and had the pleasure of meeting her at Blissdom last year. Her journals and accessories are whimsical, interesting, beautiful….SPECIAL. 

Thank you, Katie, for sharing with […]

On Facebook and Death.

Yesterday on Facebook, I saw a friend’s status update about someone that had passed away that day or the day before. She seemed shocked by the news, and curiosity got the better of me, so I clicked on the deceased person’s name and went to her wall.

It was a blogger […]

Through The Lens Thursday: Reflection

Some days seem like weeks, some weeks like months. A Friday after a week of long days is both a respite and form of torture.

A Friday like this calls for the raising of the white flag. The wave, the surrender. The gesture that means you will do anything in your […]

Four Years Old #iPPP

So, on January 27th, 2010, I published my very first blog post. Back then I had a blogspot.com address and had no idea what I was doing. Sometimes I still don’t feel like I know what I’m doing, but I’ve gotten a little better at this blogging thing (maybe?).

A lot […]
