It was hot, too hot, and after getting my eight loaves of home made bread to the point of rising in the pans I wasn’t liking the idea of heating up the stove to cook supper. My man ran out for pizza, the five bucks hot and ready kind, and those of us who waved to him in joyous farewell where bursting with grins on the front step.
Mac Tac
Some say parenting and reading regularly can’t coexist. I say, get your kids into reading and you can all escape together! I also say ignore the kids a little bit more, you can’t be accused of being a helicopter parent that way, AND you get to READ; win win!
32 and Counting
I have made a big change this year. I am going to be willing and open to help, ready and available for healing, and always ready to fertilize hopefulness. Brave, for me, has been redefined, no longer does it mean a strong stance and serious face, but a thankful stance and an honest face.
Labour
Four times I had been to this part of the hospital. Four times, and yet it wasn’t all that familiar. My memories where blurred with the nervous energy of a mother in pain; a mother in labour. This time I took in it all, all but the pain. My memories of this birth will forever be sharper then the birth of my very own babies.
Antisocial and Profamily
Camping… That has been our goal this summer, to go camping with the children. With success in this area has come, also, antisocial tendencies. We have hunkered down to fun in the sun as a little family unit. No kids running here and there to events of every kind this summer, just my man and I, our two girls, two boys and the dog. The kids said their favourite part of last summer was camping and we heard them!
The Island
Wild horses couldn’t tear me away. This thought lingered in my heart as I drove away from my childhood home once again. A summer visit of great significance, things were different this vacation. I witnessed the knitting of the north to my eldest two’s souls; and realized with their connection made, I was even more bound to this land, in as much as is possible while on this temporal earth.
Something New
Yup, this is the new blog… under construction, that should be pretty evident. I want to welcome those who have popped or linked over because of my little blurb on facebook.
A New Home
Garnet is setting up a new blogging home for me!! It is well under way and should be ready to launch SOON!
To Blog
Problem solving. Thinking about solutions. There may be a new home for ‘avoiding the sandy land’ in the near future. Keep you posted 🙂
