I’m a doer. I don’t like to stop until there is clarity around me, peace and harmony with belongings and good food in the kitchen to feed my family. I’m always full of ideas. Ones that I usually don’t have time to act on. There are crafts I want to make, new foods to bake […]

Baby Girl Baptism
Baby girl was baptized on Sunday at the presbyterian church where we are members. The sermon was about things in faith that turn our water into wine. I believed in my heart and soul that our family needed another baby to complete us. I fought for her. I believed in her before I knew she was […]

Twist and Breathe

The commitments I’ve chosen to use while I evaluate my self-discipline are doing yoga everyday for 40 days, doing two nursing mediations a […]

Summertime days are here
Summertime…..time for last days of school, time for lazy days, beach days, summer hair cuts, book mornings, movie nights, too much pizza, sleeping late, and getting dressed in the morning means putting on a swimsuit. The last day of school seemed to take forever to get here. We made it past the finish line just […]

Garden Days
It’s the time of year where we step out the back door and snip our salad for dinner and scramble up fresh eggs for breakfast. Need an herb? Trim some fresh mint for your tea or throw some dill in your sauté. This is my favorite time of they year to garden. My enthusaisam is still running […]

Hello! We have BIG news.
I’ve left a big gap here on this space the last month, while I’ve had to focus on other things keeping life busy. So I’ll hop right into the biggest news of all I have not shared, and maybe you’ll understand why I’ve been more absent and too tired to stay up late blogging anymore. […]
