If you been reading here for any length of time, you know that some of our family lives twenty plus hours away and we usually only see them once or twice a year. This is often hard on my momma-heart. We recently made a trip to visit friends and family and, best of all, to…… Continue reading pure joy
If you’ve been around from the beginning, you know this blog was borne through many sleepless nights. I had a time where I just could not sleep and thought that writing out some of the stuff swirling about in my head might help. The sleepless nights come and go now, but I’ve had a few…… Continue reading testimony and trepidation
Well, it seems I’ve been MIA. I hope you’re having a fantastic summer with lots of reenergizing and reconnecting time. We finished our homeschooling at the end of May so as to prepare for a busy summer. And what a busy summer it’s been! It’s a summer centred around people–family, friends and new friends. Isn’t…… Continue reading MIA
As I mentioned last time, my closet purge began when I needed to pack for a trip down South. It was back in March, and the weather here was still very wintery. Yes, this is what March looks like where I live. Bear in mind, also, that the airport is close to four hours away.…… Continue reading trippin’: packing a carry-on
That time of year when we celebrate love is almost upon us. To be truthful, we enjoy the day, but don’t make too much of it. My children have been (and a couple still are) homeschooled, so we’ve never had a need to do the big valentine card thing, save perhaps for a few special…… Continue reading love is in the air
Ahhhhh…September. Best of summer. Warm enough for shorts and flip flops and dips in the ocean. Best of fall. Cardigans in the morning and evening. Pumpkin spice lattes. Routine. Oh, blessed routine. How I’ve missed thee. Okay…if you know me, you know I love lists. I love the concept of being super organized. I love…… Continue reading control my chaos ~ bullet journal
Seems I’ve been MIA the last few weeks. We have had a steady stream of visitors this summer…and more to come in the weeks ahead. We’ve also made a trip to Ontario this month and one the previous month. We don’t usually travel in the summer, as that’s our busy time, but we actually made…… Continue reading there is a season
Well, we’re finishing up the weekend with a quiet evening at home. My love is speaking ‘up on the mountain’ tonight. (There’s a church gathering up there, and the regular pastor is at camp.) We girls are staying put with the wee one…probably watch a chick flick together. We began our celebration of Canada’s 150th…… Continue reading canada day weekend
I’m playing a bit of catch-up here… If you remember, I mentioned that we had a wonderful visit with our Alberta girl back in April. It had been a full year since we’d seen her–two years since our df girl and cl boy had seen her. Last week, we met our cb girl and her…… Continue reading family, friends & friends that are family
We are now two weeks into spring. Someone forgot to tell the weather. We have had several snow storms with, perhaps, more on the horizon. Today, the grey air holds a fine snow being blown furiously about by the seemingly never-ending wind. The dreariness of the day echoes my mood. This day would have been my brother’s forty-eighth…… Continue reading i am holding on
