{this moment} ~ past & present
Inspired by SouleMama: A Friday ritual. A single photo – no words – capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember. If you’re inspired to do the same, leave a link to your ‘moment’ in the comments for all to find and see....
A Walk in the Woods: Highland Cemetery Nature Trails
Yesterday the sun was shining, the air was crisp & the sky was blue. And I longed to be outside. So the kids and I shunned the to-do list for a few hours and took a nice long walk in the woods. We talked about nature, discovered new paths, stopped & listened to the sounds...
Easy Pumpkin Muffins
We are big fans of Pumpkin Muffins around these parts…all year long. They are easy to make with canned or fresh pumpkin, and they are great treats to add to packed lunches. I usually make a huge batch of them and freeze a bunch so I can pop them into lunches. We’ve also made mass...
Sam’s Namesake
While at the cemetery for my Aunt Peggy’s funeral last week a few of us gathered at my grandfather’s grave (Sam’s namesake), which was just rows away from my aunt’s resting place. While we chatted, hugged, & shed a few tears Sam plopped down for a rest with his beloved otter. Of all the grave...
Easy Bruschetta Dip

A Passion for Books: Encouraging Your Child to Read
As you can probably tell from my various posts and pictures, reading is an integral part of our daily life in our home. My husband and I both love to read, as do our children. Not all children like to read or enjoy listening to stories. Some children see reading as a chore. We’ve been...
Our Dining Room Table…
The dining room table…not just for dining. This week we had a lot of downtime while we recovered from illnesses. Much time was spent at the dining room table working on one thing or another. Missed schoolwork was completed, sewing projects got some much needed attention and battles were fought.
