What do you think it’s like to be a bird? I think it must be thrilling. Just once I’d like to feel the rush of flying, of spreading the wings and gliding on the wisp of the wind. If I were to be a bird, though, I can’t decide where I’d like to rest my […]

I got my good camera back from the shop the other day. It was like welcoming an old friend back home again. I immediately pulled it out of the box and ushered the kids outside for an impromptu photo shoot. They were thrilled…can’t you tell? I’ve been in a funk these last few days. Sad. […]

The first week of school is tucked firmly beneath my belt. This is fancy talk for, I survived. So did the kids, by the way. Landon barely. Apparently I neglected to mention to him when we began that school occurs every. single. day. So on day two, as he toddled into the kitchen, his morning […]

Like a petal dancing on the wind, the theme of Grace has been floating across the internet this past year. Everywhere you look, people are seeing it, feeling it and living it. Grace. Grace is not a movement. Grace has simply always been. Grace hasn’t changed or altered or moved. Grace has been dancing for […]
