It was after 11:30 – probably closer to midnight when it came out of my mouth, and it felt like it was never in my mind, before it came out. I was scrubbing the carpet in earnest, in the boys’ bedroom, and suddenly, there it was. Maybe I should back up and tell you how [...]

I wondered about it again on the way to preschool this morning. It seems inevitable, after the scramble to find a bookbag, zip the coats, slip on the shoes, buckle three small people into three car seats, there is a calm that follows and my mind starts flooding. While we’re out, and in the car, [...]

Thoughtful Bear

Four score and about two years ago, give or take, I had a bit of an issue with the Bear’s hair. He was a beautiful goldilocks of a lad, and I just couldn’t bring myself to cut those precious curls. Eventually I had enough strangers ask, “How old is she?” that I finally gave in [...]

Yesterday I shared about a book called Organized Simplicity. It has been an inspiration to me in a season of wondering how I will ever manage to manage my household and do it well. Yes, manage to manage. To manage to manage. I could go on. Today I thought I’d share some practical steps I’ve [...]

Hope for the New Year

While we’re inside this confession box, I’ll willingly admit it. The minute we brought a third child into the mix, here in the US, circumstances as they are, I got a little freaked out. Okay, more than a little. Perhaps not over-whelmed, but at least very-whelmed. I just wasn’t sure how I was going to [...]
