                                        Monday, December 29, 2014. We learn them when we are small. Each individually, usually in the order of the alphabet in the form of a song. As we grow we begin to seethem, all around us. Then we begin learning the sound each one makes, how to write the upper case and lower case. Then come words. The age old art of stringing together those carefully learned letters to create new sounds. I've always believed stories are powerful; testimony is powerful, our words. I read just the other day,. Story is the key.

                                        Wednesday, October 17, 2012. A Journey In Minimalism :. I've never liked having a lot of stuff. That won't come as a surprise to most people that know me well. I'm a "keep only what is useful" and an "a place for everything and everything in it's place" type of girl. If there isn't room for something, I first decide if I need it and if I do, then something else usually goes to make room for it. That being said, I haven't really applied those principles to my girls' stuff. I've never felt like they had.

                                        Monday, October 8, 2012. Thank y'all for your encouraging comments. After re-reading what I wrote the next morning, I was even more convinced that if anyone did still care to take the time to check up on me here, they wouldn't want to after that. Every time my email showed a new comment, I was at first, to be honest, surprised. And then once I read all you had to say, I was uplifted by all of the cyber-love. Thanks Mum for always being a fan. Thanks Carmelle: your few words had a big impact. I like this ...

                                        Wednesday, October 10, 2012. Now, I say fall. Loosely, considering we haven't had a drop of rain around these parts for the better part of a couple months and it was 21 degrees yesterday. However, I have my fall door all set up to enjoy our spring weather. My little "welcome to my doorstep" vignette}. I've had this frame lying around for a while, and I thought to myself, "What a great cheap way to keep things fresh. I can have a different graphic for all kinds. Of different seasons and occasions! I am a ...

                                        Thursday, May 2, 2013. Picture an oval running track, like one in any small town. There are a half dozen-or-so singletons or couples meandering their way around, some walking and some jogging. It's pre-9:00am on a sunny, cloudless Thursday. IPod in hand, interval timer started and iTunes serenading me, I started. Walk two minutes, run one minute, repeat. Breathe, heave, burn, repeat. I was chin to the sun and eyes up when the deep bass undertones of the song started thumping through my ear drums. Now, I ...

                                        Saturday, October 6, 2012. I don't feel like I have anything to say. I haven't planned or given this post any thought at all. I haven't posted in two. whole. months. We had an amazing summer (that incredibly, doesn't seem to be over yet on the West Coast) filled with boating and swimming and BBQ's and fun. We entered into our September quite naturally, but wasn't expecting the month that followed. All of September, we went weeks on end without an evening at home together. I found the quote on Pinterest:.

                                        Monday, October 15, 2012. This was two years ago. October 1st, 2012}. Mere minutes after delivering my second born.Miss Paisley. That little Miss has, since then, fallen in love with Elmo. So it was a pretty natural decision to have an Elmo-themed birthday to celebrate her turning two. We've got a big crew, so hosting it at out house wasn't an option. We decided to hold it at our local Pizza Hut because they've got a crazy cheap pizza deal on Monday's. It wasn't much, but we had it all ready to go. And w...

                                        Friday, February 8, 2013. I cringed just a little. When I saw how long it had been since my last post. That was before Cranberry Creek. And then more Cranberry Creek. Before my 28th birthday, before hubby's annual work Christmas party, before a family getaway to a mountain chalet, preschooler's Christmas concert and then family Christmas with the Mr.'s family, before Christmas Eve, Christmas Day ( finding out we were going on a child-free trip to Cuba.
