Maybe it’s because I’ve got Jim Brickman playing softly on Pandora while I frittle away, but I’m feeling awfully nostalgic this evening. No, I’m not pregnant. {I peed on a stick to prove it. One line, folks.} But today, my mommy heart is full. content. in love. My heart swells at the mere thought of my sleeping babies, and for… Read More
The {Easter Egg} Hunt
The Week in ‘P’s
Police. Profound Pride. Passion. This photo was taken by Jeff Schrier (Chief Photographer at the Saginaw News) during the awe-inspiring funeral for the Trooper from my husband’s State Police post who lost his life suddenly last week. It was one of the most profoundly beautiful, deeply moving, tearful events I have ever experienced. ~ Pincushion Protea This amazing blossom –… Read More
The Puddle Jumper
{girl meets puddle. the end.}
Hormones, Crafts & Snow {this week, in no particular order)
Firstly, the blah: I’ve been having hot flashes lately {ugh!}. And then I left the house in my slippers {yikes}. For 6 hours {gasp}. I think I’m getting old. I haven’t written anything of substance for the past few weeks. There only seems time and mental energy for drivel. Forgive me. Contemplative and encouraging text will return soon, I promise….

Captain Underpants Strikes…
Followed closely by her faithful side-kick, Little-pants. “Cha-aaa-arrrge!!” {Need I say more?}
The Dress Code

{My} Snow Babies
{they’re my favorite frozen treats!}
Loin-Fruit Love {it’s Black and White}
“Making the decision to have a child is momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body” ~ Elizabeth Stone Cricket: “Mama…you are best! You are my favorite! I have fallen in love with you…and we will be married in the morning!”
Snowed In {and Lovin’ It!}
Scalawag
Why might my son be looking at me in this sheepish fashion, you wonder? Because I found him perched on one of our ridiculously high dining chairs, playing merrily at our intentionally-too-high-for-the-children-to-ransack dining table… with his sister’s paint bottles {visible above, clutched tightly in little fists}. I believe I have a whole new world of male toddler-proofing to do.
So Far, So Fabulous
Our little man has been medicine free for almost a month. And we’re beyond thrilled about it! There has been no SVT in sight, and he actually made it to his holter monitor appointment on Tuesday {last time he was weaned, in late May 2010, he was back in the ER in SVT within two weeks}. 24 hours of monitoring… Read More
