It would be nice to post a snapshot once a week on a regular basis, of just a simple day, doing simple things. I tried to do that every Friday for a while. But it turns out being on a schedule to do something routine like that doesn’t fall into my simple catagory. Instead I […]

Scooping up the pumpkins and moving on
This is really late, but it doesn’t seem right to skip over Halloween here, and the leaves, and the costumes. There is some rituals to fall that should not be over looked. It’s a passing of time, that brings a much welcomed gust of cooler temperatures. But I’m just not a fan of all the […]

The last lemonade stand of the season
My girls love having lemonade stands. The key to their success is having them during our Wednesday CSA deliveries, where our home serves as a drop point for members. Bless all those members and neighbors who continue to find the charm in these lemonade stands! Without them it wouldn’t be the same. This lemonade stand […]

Welcome fall, a season for gathering
I love the chill in the air. The russeling of the leaves. Pumpkins – oh my! Fall is here. And I’m ready to embrace it. It means gatherings. Birthdays – 2 of them in one week! This season is going to be a good one. I just know it. This weekend I hosted a reuninon […]

Simple after school days and no homework
I’m so thankful my girls do not get homework. At least not often. At their school children choose to bring work home if they need to get caught up or want to get ahead. They have weekly work plans. The children know what is expected of them all week, and they learn to manage their […]

Back to the school routine
School has been back for nearly three weeks and I we have finally settled back into a routine. Where we come and go. And the cat waits for us to return. All my appointments I put off doing this summer with kids – dentists, hair, vet check ups – are done. And we have already […]
