My husband isn't a person who does a lot of things by himself for others. He doesn't give "of" himself consistently unless it's for his son. For TO this man does everything I expect and then some. But neither does he wait around for others to 'do unto him'. He takes what comes his way,... Continue Reading →
Nom Nom Nostalgia
Whether it was because of my turning a year older recently or me seeing that my child is slowly getting into the big kid phase of his life; I have been nostalgic to the core. It's a very visceral feeling for me. For every parent there can be a near-constant contradiction when you see and... Continue Reading →
All My Pretty Possessions
I love my stuff. I love getting new things. I like discovering how they work, am ecstatic when they work the way they're supposed to and most of all I love how it makes me feel when I use them.

Reblogged:Playing With The Hand You’re Dealt…
Isn't that what it all boils down to in life? It isn't always celebrating the things that go well or in accordance with our plans or even making our peace with the things that don't. It's finally just existing with what IS. Sometimes we are able to do it gracefully and other times it takes a... Continue Reading →
Reblogged: Marking Territory
Everywhere I look, I sit the offspring's presence prevails. The jar of Gummybears are usually within hand's reach although with the child-proof caps it's still a bit in our control when we want to hand the bears over. There are clothes clips on the futon, tigers and lions (figures) under the sofa cushions and Play... Continue Reading →
