5 Oct 2010All he wanted to do was draw with chalk on the driveway. He drew trains, numbers, letters… And then he set to work on a bigger project. VERY tall people. Wishful thinking I guess considering our height-challenged family. It was cute. He added something. A line connecting all of them. “What is the line for [...]
Wandering
7 Sep 2010We don’t buy much, but we enjoy our wanderings around the local Farmers’ Market all the same. Beautiful colors, handmade goods, local food. It is a feast for the eyes, from the ordinary – corn and radishes – to the unusual and special – ostrich eggs and gorgeous jewelry. What a blessing to see the [...]
It Has Begun
31 Aug 2010Preschool, that is. Day 1 was last week. It was rough. Day 2 was yesterday. It was much better. I’m not sure what to say about this whole preschool thing yet (maybe just a few mixed emotions on my part), but I do know this is good for both of us. And we’re unwrapping a [...]
In One Day at the Park…
3 Aug 2010I watched my son play. I took lots of pictures. And I caught a glimpse of all things he is and is becoming. A budding explorer. Brave, but tentative. Independent, yet looking for reassurance. On his way to adventures of his own. Imaginative. A cowboys in his own frog rodeo one minute, a jet pilot [...]
Tiny Bubbles
27 Jul 2010Straws, tape, dish soap, corn syrup and water. Simple, easy, summer fun. Fun, bright colors. And cute clusters of tiny bubbles. I’m loving summer this year. I’m joining Tuesdays Unwrapped over at Chatting at the Sky to celebrate the beauty of the small moments in life. I’m also linking up to Sweet Shot [...]
Smiles All Around
20 Jul 2010Nebraska is hosting the National Special Olympics right now. The state is buzzing with activity and most of it is free and open to the public! So the boys and I and some friends headed to the Special Olympics Town to support the athletes and for some fun activities! I’ve never been to a Special [...]
The Gift of Home

13 Jul 2010Conversations with my husband, with dear friends. Reading the Word of God, perusing thought-provoking blog posts. Planning for our upcoming MOPS year, examining the relationships of women in the church. Lately, everything seems to point to one thing for me: I am beyond blessed to be at home. I have not, however, truly appreciated that [...]
He Asked For It
5 Jul 2010The boys love any water time – kiddie pool, beach, even the bathtub. But Daddy put a new twist on it the other day when he gave them permission to dump water on him after he finished mowing the lawn. And dump they did! So the water flowed… And so did the laughter! [...]
Sand and Surf

It is a wonderful new site founded by friend Sarah Mae to encourage the teaching of the arts of homemaking. I am so honored to be featured there today! And if you’re stopping by from Raising Homemakers or Chatting at [...]
Pink
21 Jun 2010There was pink. Lots and lots of pink. And as a boy mom, I loved every second of the girlieness. (Not sure that’s a word, but I don’t care!) And it was all for our dear friend who is “About to Hatch” her first little one. How cute are the decorations?!?! There was also [...]
