Why Santa Doesn’t Visit our House

I know that this post is probably not going to make me popular, but I have to get this out in the open – even if it just to get my reasons down in a  (somewhat) coherent  format. Santa does not come to our house. In our house…up until this year, his name was not [...]

Expectations….

I got a little fired up this morning in a conversation about Christmas. I said some things that I shouldn’t have, and now I wish I had bit my tongue and saved those comments for a calmer conversation with my husband – rather than the company I was with. Well, after the company had left, [...]

Putting Up

No – Not with the kids while they dance around me, and try  press the buttons on my laptop while I furiously type this. I mean putting up, like preserving…like jam and green beans, applesauce and tomatoes, sauerkraut, horseradish, strawberries…well you get the idea. If one of my new found loves is r

MIA – where did I go?

I realized today that it has been a LONG time since I last posted…like way long…way way too long! I have lots of excuses, tons actually, but mostly I just have not been in the mood to write, or in the mood for much of anything for that matter. I find myself not even able [...]

On a Rainy June Afternoon

I sit on the front step, hands wrapped around my tea cup and watch the rain fall. Everything is peaceful. No one is mowing their lawn or sawing wood…not even a car drives by. I meet a squirrel, and a couple little spiders. From afar I watch a funny bird (a starling perhaps?) with a [...]

Grumpiness and Gratitude

What a terrible attitude I have had this week. It’s easily excused by hormones, too much on my plate, an out-of-town husband (thankfully home now), whining children, and coutnless potty-training accidents – you might say I had every reason to be grumpy, but ordinarily these things would not phase me

Hard Work

Once I finally got myself going this morning I worked my tail off. By noon, the house was tidied and dusted (in itself a formidable task, let me assure you), floors and furniture were vacuumed, the whole place was mopped, including under all the furniture, the kitchen was scrubbed clean, in some cas

Real Food

I have been interested in eating well since before I got married and left home. It is a passion of my mother’s that I picked up through my teen years. When I was 17 I vowed to never eat at McDonald’s again, not for any ethical reason, but simply because I realized I always felt [...]

A Life in Rocks

Or – Getting the Priorities Sorted  (FYI – I didn’t have time to edit. I Hope this is readable) I have been enjoying my little blogging break. It has been a great opporunity to step back and re-evaluate what’s important, and what is worth my time and efforts. I read a blog a week or [...]

Taking a Break

Well friends, I have decided to take a little blogging break. I’m just not sure what to do with this thing, and my mind is most definitely on other things right now. In particular I am excited about my first vegetable garden. I have been reading and planning. I have tomato seedlings growing in my [.
