I sent a letter to one of my friends this morning and feel I need to record those sentiments here:
Just wanted to throw something out your way… I know we all have different time tables for when we are up for more challenges than just surviving with a newborn and toddler. It took me [...]

Story Time
Snack
Art Time

Somehow, I’ve gotta get my ass in gear and start home schooling Max – for “preschool.” This Sunday, I’m going to attach myself to the computer and start researching. I would like to have a [flexible, but…] real rhythm throughout our day so that the kids know what to expect. We [...]

I ordered some bad-ass knives on-line made by the company, Global. I was eager to get them so when they finally arrived at my doorstep I SQUEALED with excitement. All my culinary dreams were answered! You see, it is very challenging for me to cut veggies. My right hand is constantly [...]

We’ve decided to hold off on putting Max in school until he [we] qualify for the VPK program. Even with my disability check providing a second income, money is tight. Putting in a new floor is going to cost a pretty penny and we still have some student loans to pay off before [...]

I feel like I’ve [finally] moved into a peaceful head-space concerning BellaGrace’s skin issues.
Last night she had a very difficult time falling asleep. We were all in bed at 10pm (that’s very early for Hal) and ready for some serious snoozing. Bella was itching, fussing, arching her back (I gave her homeopathic [...]

I AM
I am the infinite within myself (stole that line, just so you know)
I wonder what gifts gather in the depths of suffering
I hear the sound of angels when my children grow
I see the calm center of my home’s chaos
I want my children to have perfect health
I am contradictory
I pretend to know my future
I feel [...]

I finally made it out to the local organic farm stand (well, local for me is a 30 minute drive). Let me tell you, for any person who loves shopping for, preparing, and eating veggies, this experience was a blissful sensory overload. I spent way more money than I needed too because, well, [...]

Time for my very first post in this very new space…
First of all… Happy New Year!
And I am so happy that 2007’ is over. That [...]
