Our weekend was pretty uneventful. Sleepy and slow. Although there's a lot going on and much to do, weekends can still remain sacred now and again (when the planets align and our calendar allows). Monday morning and it's business as usual but as for the last few...
Winter break is coming to end. We spent much of the weekend getting things back in order from an enjoyable and very busy holiday. But, we managed to get in a little creativity. My youngest has been embracing the artist within her (a true pleasure to watch)...
Santa left two of the oh-so-wished-for and ever-elusive Zhu Zhu pets under our tree on Christmas morning. I have to say, they do not disappoint! I am enjoying these little rascals as much as the kids! They are totally adorable. How about you? What kind of holiday magic was stirred...
Alas, it's winter vacation. We haven't slowed down too much as of yet (it seems pre-holiday vacations are not much vacation at all) but we are finding some little pockets of rest and fun amidst it all. Enjoying long, lazy jammie mornings are one such luxury. Mix that in...

I've been doing a lot of reflecting lately. Digging through my photo archives, writing about the past , celebrating motherhood and my beautiful girls has filled me with gratitude. I'm so grateful for places like Creative Therapy, The Creative Mama and Shutter Sisters for encouraging such authentic...
Recouping this morning from a crazy-busy weekend, I sit here with Junie my sleepy side-kick, a good, strong cup of coffee and perhaps the best apple pie I have ever experienced. Yep. Pie for breakfast. I took it to-go after last nights Hands On Small...
