Fun and Friends ~ SOLSC ~ 23/31
My name is Amanda, and I’m a recovering Groupon addict. Around the holidays, I spent far too many wee hours searching anything and everything for great ideas and experiences we could do with the kids, but when I made the impulse purchase on the lift tickets and rental equipment, I was actually thinking it’d […]
Hands ~ SOLSC ~ 22/31
For two weeks, my manicured nails have flashed their redness as I swipe a stray hair from my face or wipe a tear from a tiny eye. My typical plain hands have been temporarily transformed. And yet, the increasing gap of non-color prompted me to call for an appointment earlier this week…unfortunately, our schedules […]
Six Word Slice ~ SOLSC ~ 20/31
Mornings of laughter, make great days. Great friends. Hot coffee. Fruitful conversation. Fruitful afternoon spent transforming old furniture. Old sweats and favorite blanket. G’night!
Thinking of Summer ~ SOLSC ~ 19/31
He’s said it before, and I’ve thought it sweet. Tonight, he said it again. Leaning his hooded head out the window, while we chatted before going inside, before going about nighttime routines. “It smells like a camping morning.” He sniffs. The cool air, the rain-soaked earth, the birdcalls. They all remind us to listen, to […]
Her way ~ SOLSC ~ 18/31
She has always had her own unique way of living life. She makes us laugh, makes us cry. Makes us pull our hair out sometimes, but always does things her way. Driving to school this morning, we are on the 10th of our 12-mile drive when Seneca pipes up to say, “Ya know when […]
What’s In My Bowl ~ SOLSC ~ 17/31
Today, I tackled a project that I anticipated would take a good bit of time, but that I’d be glad to have done. As I painted, I listened to a few different podcasts, one of which shared the story of two brothers enjoying a bowl of ice cream. The eldest brother held his bowl […]
The Little Things ~ SOLSC ~ 15/31
Earlier this week, we had a day where there was a pocket of time unaccounted for in the late afternoon. It was too many minutes not to do something, but not quiet enough to make it worth the trip home and back. We planned a trip to our local library which was renovated about ten […]
Writing into the Day ~ SOLSC 14/31
Yesterday, I read this slice by Nicole over at More Than Blueberries, and I’m excited to sit and start my day this way. This day, that yawns before me wide with possibility of doing much, which ironically is sometimes even more relaxing and satisfying than doing nothing. Today, I long to make the use of […]
Two Words ~ SOLSC 13/31
It’s amazing how two words can change so much. In fact, there’s so much about life that can be encapsulated by two tiny words… “I do…” “A boy…” “No way…” “Call me…” “Be careful…” “I’m sorry…” “A girl…” “Forgive me…” “Love you…” At first, I thought it was his alarm and a few rings later […]
Seven ~ SOLSC ~ 12/31
Every year, I’m surprised by how quickly the time has flown by, and how I could possibly be so blessed to be the mother of such an amazing kid. Today, we celebrated Calder’s 7th birthday. The cookies were ready to take into his classroom, balloons of his favorite color were scattered across the dining room […]
