This is a sponsored post but I thought it was a pretty cool campaign and I LOVE [...]

Go Learn. Go Discover.

December 1, 2011

You who are tiny and strong.
You who are brave.
Do you know how unique you are?
You are the generation that will never NOT know the internet.
That? Is special.
It means that since your birthed day,
you have had an epic amount of possibilities available to you.
You don’t know that making a Christmas list online is a new-ish delight.

Get Inspired

September 15, 2010

Most people who know me know that my children are on a pretty restrictive diet. Because of their allergies and sensitivities, we have had to cut out gluten, dairy, corn and soy from their plates. You might be thinking that those foods are in everything. And you’d be right.

New Beginnings

April 23, 2010

We are very selective about the activities we have the boys involved in, because not just any sport will work.

The Hearth

March 18, 2010

We find ourselves gathering there. At our “hearth”.
Our cornerstone.
The kitchen, and inside the kitchen the warm spot.
This new lovely Frigidaire family member, that saves me time so I can sit on the floor and frolic a bit.

This range that has a super boiler and a convection setting and a warming drawer. All to save me [...]

Abundant Moments

March 16, 2010

Each moment of the year has its own beauty…a picture which was never seen before and shall never be seen again.
–Ralph Waldo Emerson
It was our first “official” family outing since we’ve moved here to the South last November. Mama wasn’t sick or sad, we weren’t just heading to church or running to the park. [...]

Waking Up

March 8, 2010

Every day since we lost Mabel (two months ago today) I have woken up and thought about what needed to change in my life. This gut urge to make things different, every single thing, is a force I cannot ignore. It feels as though everything must be different, even down to the placement of my [...]
