So Very Thankful for…..

1. Name a color you are thankful for.

I’m thankful for blue skies, blue eyes. I’m thankful for brown hair, brown dirt. White wine, white clouds. Yellow cheese, yellow sunshine.

2. Something your spouse does that you are thankful for.

This is a very specific example, and thankfully does not happen regularly, but […]

Hiiiiiiiiiii.

It’s November 23. I’ve published 22 blog posts this month and I didn’t so much feel like doing one today. So here’s a (very short) video!

Mwah. Happy Monday, y’all.

Project 365: Week 48

Wouldn’t it be hilarious if I broke my NaBloPoMo streak on the last day by forgetting to do the past I’ve already done 47 times this year. Ha. Ha ha ha.

I almost did that.

I don’t really know, except I was done with solo parenting. DO-NE.

What NaBloPoMo Has Taught Me

Y’all. This was a long month. But. BUT! I will have finished NaBloPoMo tomorrow when I do my Project 365 post, and even managed to write all of the posts the night before (or sooner). I feel accomplished, and totally exhausted. I did learn a few things along the way, […]

Through The Lens Thursday: Clear

The holiday week, NaBloPoMo, and the stress of hosting Thanksgiving had me all messed up, so this is a day late. It’s clear that my kids have VERY different Christmas wish list styles. The girls’ (AKA start in October, cutting out all of the things we want and tape them […]

Thankfulness: Then and Now

I was a scrooge yesterday about Thanksgiving,  I know. But like I said, I do have a lot to be thankful for (and I know it). The things I’m thankful for now, though, are much different than the things I was thankful for growing up.

Then: Baking pumpkin pies with my […]

Is It Enough

I often feel completely inadequate as a mother. I try my best, I do, but sometimes it just doesn’t feel good enough. I yell too much. I can’t keep a clean house. I don’t play with them. I lose my temper far too quickly. I love my kids fiercely, but […]

Project 365: Week 47

Nov. 16 Even after the kids go to bed, I’ve still got somebody wanting thisclose to me. Nov. 17 I love bloggy friends, and I super love when they send me lovely things in the mail, like this stripey hand-painted card from Clare of Girl Fifteen, who has been […]

A thousand words and a hundred thousand more.

I remember a lot about those last couple of months of 2006. I remember our last Halloween, the first trick-or-treating. I remember visiting my grandparents and Henry playing with our old toys and running in the leaf-filled yard on a beautiful, warm fall day. I remember that night. […]

Through the Lens Thursday: Shine

It was a sun-shiny day, and I had plans to try to capture my favorite swing photos, but from another angle to try to change it up. I ended up with very different pictures, though. The dog and two kids trying to shoot […]
