My Wish For Peace

If I was given one wish that could be granted today it would be for a peaceful resolution to this Israeli/Palestinian conflict.

The pictures are absolutely heartbreaking.  I cannot even begin to fathom the history of hatred and violence and all the wrongs done in this battle, or begin to imagine a peaceful solution that has [...]

Kindness

My hope for 2009, personally, to my family, to our nation, to the world.

 
Practicing for this tonight, by putting a cranky, tired girl in a warm bath.  Highly suggested for parent and child.

Babies.

Am having mixed feelings about babies lately.
Now is that the most crazy, mixed up thing I’ve posted on here ever, maybe?
Why would a newly single mama (p.s. when are you no longer newly single?  someone let me know) be thinking about babies?
I am 36 years old.  I have two beautiful children.  They are no longer [...]

Sunday

A little more hectic than our “good day” yesterday.
It was still a good day.  It sleeted all early early morning and the dog took me for a glide down the driveway at 6:30 this morning.  The trees were absolutely beautiful.  At my sisters this afternoon, the ice was melting and the water was streaming down [...]

A Feel Good Day

Slept in a little.  No alarm and a snuggle in bed with the girls this morning was a welcome relief from the five day work week.
Wrapped my girls gifts.  I am so happy with what I made/bought them this year.  While they are not getting as much as in years past, I know they are [...]
