It may have occurred to you by now that at some point, it has to happen. I’m still writing With Love, but I’m not writing With Love from Africa anymore. The process of re-entering life here in North Carolina after six years abroad, and two of them in Africa, has been many things, including a [...]

How I Bake My Own Bread

January 26, 2012 A Repat

When we got back to the States and I saw the cost of a nice loaf of bread, I was more than a little bummed. My awesome health insurance plan in South Africa gave us discounts on healthy food purchases {brilliant idea, American insurers, take this one up!} so we got really nice, healthy bread [...]

Hiding and Being Found

January 26, 2012 The Good Word

Our growth and our progress in following the Lord is a much more cyclical process than I ever first perceived it to be. Like the way plants spring up from the ground in the spring, smile and stretch toward the sky in the summer, turn their faces down to the ground in the fall, and [...]

The Hubs checked out the ten months post last night and pointed out that I’d forgotten his favorite photo. Which was also my favorite. And it turns out I sure did. Because it was in the drop box and I forgot to download it. Because I was distracted by Speedy Gon-crawl-les racing out of the [...]

DIY: Fingerknit Scarf

January 23, 2012 Hometastic Goodness

A few weeks ago I mentioned that I’d been working on finger knitting, and it was a fun little crafty project that was super cheap and made me feel like I’d accomplished something. I’d seen a scarf at Kohl’s for like $20 but didn’t want to pay $20 for a scarf even though I really [...]

Never Underestimate the Power of Reasonable Expectations

January 21, 2012 The Good Word

That was a really long title. But I just couldn’t leave any of it out. For the past week or ten, I’ve been talking about a few different things. I’ve been talking about faith, thankfulness, and how lots of Australians seem to visit this site but don’t comment. I’ve also spoken about parenting. And if [...]

I‘ve been meaning to tell you about a couple of things. But I get distracted and forget a lot. Only having the opportunity to finish your sentence about half the time is one of the things I’ve noticed motherhood… Sorry, what was I talking about? Anyway, we got some good news. Remember these?
