Granny Creek Day is the anniversary of the day my mama became an angel. Â On this day we take some time to love and connect with her. Â Our tradition has been to take irises and daffodils to a nearby creek and toss them in the river, along with our prayers (and sometimes tears), just as […]

Our neighborhood bakery, West End Bakery, is currently having a pizza making contest. Â I had to enter. Â I make pizza for dinner at least once a week, so why not? Â Everyone who enters gets a free cup of coffee, so really, it was a no brainer…I don’t even care if I win. Â It was fun. […]

The sun is warming us up around here. Â And just in time…I was seriously contemplating going on a shopping spree at our local toy store because I was feeling somewhat desperate for new inside activities.

Today, when Kai was hungry he said, “Mama…we want a banana”. Â Now, I was sitting right next to these two and I know for a sure that Micah didn’t say a word about wanting a snack, let alone a banana. Â It’s just that these two spend so much time together that sometimes, “we” is like […]

To best love a six year old

To Leif, the ultimate expression of someone else’s love for him is their enthusiasm (and commitment of time) for building, creating, & exploring WITH him, in his world. Â Of course, what Leif is into changes as he does. Â Currently, this could mean enacting scenes from Disney’s Swiss Family Robinson (his new FAVE movie), playing spy, […]

Some days begin and end like this, with a lot of this in between, too. Today was one of those days. And it wasn’t just Kai. Â It was Leif, me…and maybe Dan, too. Â Although, I’m pretty sure Dan didn’t cry. Â He was just REALLY bummed when he got woken up at 7:30 on his sleep-in […]
