Disappearance
Sorry for the lack of posting! Yesterday, I accompanied Dominic on his field trip to the Butterfly Garden, then had a chiropractic appointment, and then had soccer practice right afterwards. I spent last night frantically finishing up Halloween costumes. Today, I had another chiropractic appointment and then I had to go straight to work, so [...]

Little joys
I am starting to feel overwhelmed, and it’s mostly my fault. It is Wednesday; there are 2 days, including today, left for me to finish the kids’ Halloween costumes, and I am only 50% finished. The house desperately needs some attention with a large side of elbow grease, and the weather is demanding I finish [...]

Self-Portrait Tuesday

Our forecast high temp for today is 68 degrees with [...]

I’m hoping that this will keep me inspired and driven to finish all of the Christmas and wedding knitting that I have on my plate. This will also be tricky because 2 [...]

I’m loving our Saturday mornings
When Dominic first started playing soccer, I have to admit that I was dreading the 10am games. Of course, others had games that started at 9am, but after a week of waking up at 6am for school, I grudgingly gave up my sleeping-in-on-Saturday rights. My attitude quickly changed when I realized that I had an [...]

Sorry for the lack of post yesterday. I had a lot of errands to run, and by the time I’d finished them, it was time to pick up my boy from school and then all of my attention was focused on him and his sister, helping him with his homework, teaching a life lesson (why [...]
