Mothering - Fingerprints, swallowing pride and other stuff that tastes bad.

There was a time when this would have really frustrated me.

I'm Thankful For....

Let me begin by stating that I am thankful that we have a holiday to celebrate being thankful.

We take so much for granted in our lives and I love being able to reflect on how truly blessed I am.

In order to teach gratitude to my children I made a "Thankful" mobile on our dining chandelier. 

A Walk in the Woods

One evening earlier this week we decided to skip homework and go for a little hike in the mountains.

CM was at work so it was just me and the boys.

Which was nice because usually he takes the kids on hikes when I can't come.

A Place Belongs....

I need to remember this quote so I am writing it here...
I hope to make something out of this one day.


"A place belongs forever to whoever claims it hardest... wrenches it from itself, shapes it, renders it, loves it so radically that he remakes it in his own image." - Joan Diddon
