Little Moments

Categorized Under: Lorelei 6 Commented

Little Moment One:
The smallest things you do…warm my heart the most….  Like, when you reach your little arms out for just another hug.  The way you try to “help” pull your legs out of your sleeper pajamas with your little hands, and how you try to help un velcro your diaper and hold your legs [...]

More Lists…and the New Year

Categorized Under: The way I roll 6 Commented

I know a LOT of people HATE New Year’s lists, but I kind of love them.  To me, it’s just a set of goals to keep me focused and it matters less about what I did or didn’t do, and more about the journey that came from trying.
My 2008 List:
1. I want to catch up [...]

A New Year and Lots of Lists

Categorized Under: The way I roll 4 Commented

I did this this past year, and liked it…so here’s my updated version…
MY INCOMPLETION INVENTORY
Here’s a place to get started.  Jot down your unfinished business, and don’t forget to assign a completion date: N, for “now” (which means now); L, for “later” (but also add a date); C, for “complete”; or NTL, for “not in [...]

DIY: Felt Board

Categorized Under: Crafty one Commented

This is the felt board I made for Lorelei for Christmas - it’s great for children beginning at approximately 18 months up to almost any age (the older the child, the more complex pieces they’ll like for their board).
To make your own, all you’ll need is :
-scissors
-a framed corkboard from the store (or used)
-a butter [...]

22 Weeks Pregnant

You see that? - The pudge under my shirt that is not longer just my stomach, but an overextended uterus with a mini karate-choppin child in it? Right, that’s my belly shot for this week.
It’s not that I don’t enjoy showing off random body parts for you all, it’s just that the scraggly [...]

Christmas 08

Categorized Under: Lorelei 2 Commented

I know, I know…it’s the 29th of December and I’m just now recap-ping our Christmas events - so sue me.  Actually, please don’t.
With all things considered, Christmas went fairly well.  We managed to cram 3 family events into 2 days (and two more in the week before), and even caught the tail end of yet [...]

A Different Perspective

Categorized Under: The way I roll 5 Commented

I had felt like I had been beaten to the ground - over and over again - and simply couldn’t take anymore.  Or, if I did, it’d be stupid on my part - to the point where I might even begin to deserve it should I stay and let things go on the way they [...]

Where I Am…

Where I am…
Looking up at the sky, as the clouds begin to roll away.  The smell of rain still fresh in the air, but the threat of thunder and lightening receding back and away.  In this large meadow with tiny purple flowers, with the soft breeze on my face…all I can think of is the [...]
