Everyday Inklings: Our Birthday Boy
http://everydayinklings.blogspot.com/2012/06/blog-post.html
Monday, June 25, 2012. Maxwell Joseph is officially one! I spent more time making his birthday cake (carrot, with cream cheese frosting at Elliot's suggestion), than I spent in the delivery room. sorry, I couldn't help but bring that back up. Remember this little guy. And remember the scare we had during his first week. Now look at him. He walks. He claps. He giggles at his sisters' antics. He bops his head to "happy and you know it" and does his best to stomp his feet without falling down. They were all...

Everyday Inklings: Introducing Simple Joy Sundays
http://everydayinklings.blogspot.com/2015/01/introducing-simple-joy-sundays.html
Sunday, January 4, 2015. Introducing Simple Joy Sundays. Later I'll go more into the convoluted reasons this blog has been so sporadic. For now, I'm following through on my new hope for 2015: regular postings. Enter: Simple Joy Sundays. We've had a blissful New Year. Beginning Tuesday with our tearful reunion after a bittersweet send off for my Mimi and continuing through the turn of 2015 and the wonderful bonus holiday weekend, we've had six days of joyful connections. Suddenly the door from the basemen...

Monday, September 16, 2013. Wondering Together: Week 2. We're working on naming this homeschooled, unschooled version of spirit play. All week, both girls and their dad were looking forward to our time yesterday morning. Along with the usual rituals adopted from Unity's spirit play, we read two wonderful books. By Etin Boritzer,. Which is sure to spark a thoughtful conversation with kids. It also provides a great overview of religions and prayer around the world. Max got the idea in his universe pajamas!

Everyday Inklings: 7 Blog Posts I Should have Written in October
http://everydayinklings.blogspot.com/2014/10/7-blog-posts-i-should-have-written-in.html
Wednesday, October 22, 2014. 7 Blog Posts I Should have Written in October. When my little Elliot was just turning one, I finally gave myself permission to write. Daily. With unselfconscious enthusiasm. I started this blog (or it's predecessor - Growing! I worked my way through The Artists Way. And launched into morning pages. With a gusto that hasn't faded even eight years later. I've completed NANOWRIO all but one years since 2009 (that's 4 hastily written novel drafts, folks! The trail in our wood (al...

Everyday Inklings: Pros and Cons
http://everydayinklings.blogspot.com/2012/11/pros-and-cons.html
Friday, November 30, 2012. So my Nano novel was completely abandoned at the half-way mark. This is the first time since 2008 that I didn't dash off 50,000 words of (mostly incomprehensible) creative indulgence. This was also the first time that the guts of the story seemed to really come together on their own, so I'm sure I'll return to those 25,000 words-in-waiting next year. House hunting. Maybe. No. I don't know. I have to go make my pros/cons list. The question boils down to this:. Most of our years ...

Everyday Inklings: On Constructing a Mountain
http://everydayinklings.blogspot.com/2014/09/on-constructing-mountain.html
Wednesday, September 17, 2014. On Constructing a Mountain. Twenty years. Two decades. Seven thousand, three hundred days. Three higher ed diplomas between us, and two professional designations (a third pending). Twelve job changes. Three home purchases. Three gardens tended. A baby daughter. A baby daughter, again. A baby son. Three toddlerhoods. Now three childhoods (tween years pending.) Seven cats. Fifty-some chickens. One dog. Circa 1994. Oh my! And that only includes the facebook-worthy moments....

Everyday Inklings: Talking to Girls - A Good Reminder.
http://everydayinklings.blogspot.com/2011/09/talking-to-girls-good-reminder.html
Thursday, September 8, 2011. Talking to Girls - A Good Reminder. Little Miss trotted off (her chin tucked nervously to her chest and her big eyes wide) to preschool today, alone for the first time. Happily, by the time I left her, she was bravely playing with her new little friends and waving me off to promenade around Silverwood with Mr. Max and my NaNoWriMo notebook. It all reminded me of a couple of articles a friend passed my way not long ago:. One's from a blog called A Cup of Jo. Resist the standar...

Everyday Inklings: Resolved
http://everydayinklings.blogspot.com/2013/01/resolved.html
Friday, January 4, 2013. Maybe there is something to that whole seven year itch. I'm not referencing Joe, of course. We are nearing 12 years of marriage, and in 2014, we will have been more or less attached to each other for twenty. Maybe all that stability makes it easier for us to make a big change on another front. After 7 years on Wedgewood Court, our big talk about hobby farms is turning into a major resolution. No joke. As I type, I sit amid stacks of boxes. But maybe seven really is the magic numb...
