These weeks have been flying by me. With working on the house, thinking about the garden, spending time with friends and family, and just random other stuff that I can’t even think of, my days have felt really packed. I find myself wishing for a little break, but then...

I love my partner. I love him more than I did when we took vows. I love him more than I did yesterday. We are not without our struggles, but we both want this to flourish, and so things are never bad. It’s always just growth with us. Days like...

Well, I’ve been laid off. John’s dad’s hours got cut significantly, so each of them are able to be home with him now. This is a good thing for them (I mean, except for the job part…), but I’ll miss the little guy, and I’ll have to find new...

I’ve spent the day organizing through old papers- stories and poems from high school… my oh my. I’ve been listening to music that brings me back through my memories, from all my life. I’ve also been snuggling with my baby next to a sun-filled window and feeling content. Sifting...

My friend csgraham and I went out for dinner the other night. It was one of those places where the cooks are out in the open on this big circular grill thing and they throw your food around with sticks and stuff. Fun, loud, you get the idea....

It’s another 5am day with John. I don’t mind though. I just need a little coffee and a good book. Anyway, my friend pearlstreetdiva  was just talking about how she just does NOT like winter. She was asking about why winter is possibly good except to make things...

I’m doing a doula training this weekend. I’m very excited to be doing something just for me. You know, for my personal betterment. I mean, I write, I am creative, I garden, I relax and nurture my friendships, I’m always up to something… But it’s been a while since I...
