“I don’t know what to write.” If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, I wouldn’t be worried about the upcoming budget cuts for Michigan. And yet, up until the moment, I typed the title for today’s post, I too was feeling a sense of, “I don’t know what to write.” Sometimes, […]

…quarter in a school year. …wings on a dragonfly. …seasons in a year. …quarts in a gallon. …nuggets from “Old McDonald’s” …geological eras. …episodes of Dino Dan available On Demand. …years ago that my world was forever changed.

Nearly one year ago, this was the view of my aunt and uncle’s home the day after an electrical fire. I’ll never forget the events of that night. The frantic calls trying to reach them, to let them know what was happening, the relief that there were no injuries, the grief of knowing so many […]

We are so ready for warmer weather. I’ve accepted the fact that February and March are pretty much our “sick” months, but it doesn’t change the fact that we are just ready to throw open the windows, kick off our shoes and get OUTSIDE! Despite the cooler temps, I needed to get the kids out […]

Have you ever had one of those bad mornings that seemed to start the night before? That was me today. Though it wasn’t necessarily a bad night, running Seneca into the pediatrician (her turn for battle strep) wasn’t exactly what I had planned. Yet, we made it – and it was actually kinda nice to […]

The too-harsh handle I placed on her chubby arm for fear of her breaking the only working copier. The rush of gratitude that I recognized ~ and ~ apologized. […]

Yesterday, I read other slices and left a few comments. Perhaps the only downside to all this slicing is the fact that now I’m getting WAY too many blogs in my reader! In any case, as I read and commented I found myself growing more aware of my identity. Many of my fellow slicers are […]

There’s nothing like the sound of a sleeping house. Forgotten sounds like the gentle clinks of my bamboo chimes and the faraway bark of a neighborhood dog find their way into the quiet. I imagine the rise and fall of cozy blankets over sleeping bodies, the sweaty heads. I stop and wait to see if […]

I remember the words of spelling pre-tests blurring together as I tried to eek even a few more minutes out of my day last night before finally giving in, and taking up residence under my favorite blanket on my not-so-favorite couch. The next thing I know, it’s 5am and I spring fall of the couch […]
