A Poem?
As a Word Press user, I decided to check out the Daily Post Challenge: this time, it was to try something new. I used to write what I called poetry quite often. I’m certain this is a meager attempt, but it was fun to do and very refreshing to change the way in which my […]
Back-Row Origami
Our son, “L.”, is very much like my husband and myself as school children: eager to do his best, even more eager to please his teachers, and almost always quietly obedient. We go out on the school playground every day that the weather permits after we pick him up, to burn off some energy and […]
A Spoonful of Something…
Anyone who has a toddler or who has been around a toddler knows that eating habits are sporadic and odd at best. As parents, we try to offer a variety of healthy choices, and agree to almost any combination of them the toddler chooses, as long as those choices meet the nutritional needs. For example, […]
Running?
Some of these posts were intended to be about actually running, and I have fallen pretty short in that regard. The obvious reason is, that I have not gone running since I don’t remember when! Many true runners would argue that I can’t call myself a runner at this time, but I think that is […]
Love One Another
My son was working on a take-home sheet from his Sunday School class yesterday morning after breakfast. There were a few things to read, a few things to think about, and a few questions to answer. One of the passages was from 1 John in the Bible, where there is much about loving one another: […]
Little Girls
I wrote this several months ago, before starting this blog, but as many of us are sending our children back to school, it seemed appropriate to re-post it here! My life seems to be full of flashbacks lately, with people and places I hadn’t really thought of in years coming back to the […]
Just One More Snooze
People who use alarms to wake up either like the “snooze” feature or they don’t. My husband loves pressing snooze on his phone in the morning. I hear that chirpy marimba beat three or four times before he gets up. I don’t mind, and in fact, I’m often already upstairs with my early-rising children. Monitors do […]
The Beach
A few minutes ago, I admitted to the Facebook world that today marked my first or second trip to the beach in this year. We live in south Florida, and only about thirty minutes from many wonderful beaches. Oddly enough, I went today with just my daughter–how often does that happen? My son was about two […]
Panic Clean
I am a “panic cleaner”. Sure, I keep the kitchen neat, fix the bed in the morning, do laundry, and pass the Swiffer and vacuum as needed. Unfortunately, I seem to require company to really get things spiffy. I am also a pile maker: little piles of clean clothes stacked on the stairs to go up […]
Another Thing I Like About Strep Throat
I try to be a grateful person, to see the good in less-than-ideal situations. Last week, I wrote about our suspicions that our son had strep throat. When he woke up the morning after I had written that, feeling worse, coughing and hurting more, the next logical thing to do was schedule an appointment with […]
