Lately, I’ve been doing some spring cleaning, literally and figuratively. Yes, I know it’s not Spring. It just so happens that Autumn always feels like a fresh start, I think. It’s back-to-school time and it always brings up memories of fresh narrow-ruled paper, new crayons and sharpened pencils, and the crisp freshness [...]

I should be working on the schedule this morning, but instead I am cuddling my very sick little girl (who loves when she gets to be in Momma’s cozy bed, even if it means she’s sick) and entertaining myself by reading blogs. I’m confident I will meet the schedule deadline later this week, but [...]

I have been reading and re-reading this version of St. Teresa’s Prayer almost constantly over the last week. This prayer, combined with my daughter’s juicy kisses and a fair bit of Ben and Jerry’s ice cream, has definitely calmed my soul. I am aware that there are those who are suffering much more than [...]

It’s true when they say “You can take the girl out of the country, but you can’t take the country out of the girl.”
The first fourteen years of my life were spent in a tiny town of only 500 people. Wikipedia now says it’s over 800, so they’ve apparently had a population boom in [...]

I am a fortunate person who often doesn’t remember that she’s fortunate. And then something (or several things) happen in the course of a day and remind me that I’m a lucky, lucky girl. Today was such a day, so I thought I’d share my gratitude with all of you. Here is [...]

As I mentioned in my previous post, CCB is here for the weekend. We have been pretty busy and my Google Reader has been mightily neglected, so in case you were wondering if I was still alive, HERE I AM!!! Things are going great!!! And since I only have about 30 more [...]

Yesterday, a huge snowstorm blew into town, just minutes before I was supposed to leave work to prepare for Tyler and Beth’s arrival. I had such grand plans… to head home and finish up a little bit of laundry, then to pick up Lauren at school and make our way to the airport. [...]

My cold has expanded to Offically A Pain In My Ass, and as a result, today’s post will be brief. I would love to do the Grace in Small Things today, but I’m finding it hard to be grateful when I can’t breathe properly. But I’ll do my best to find 5 things that I [...]

Lauren and I are packing to leave Toronto, and I am in such a good mood today. For the first time ever, I am leaving Tyler today but I’m not miserable because I will see him in just 3 days. And then when he leaves from that trip, I will see him [...]

NaBloPoMo #29/30 and Grace #5/6
This challenge should have been posted yesterday, but circumstances prevented me from getting to the computer. As a result, I’ve not only missed the Daring Bakers deadline, but (gasp!) totally blew the whole NaBloPoMo thing. I cannot tell you how disappointed I am about this. To screw up [...]
