Photo: A little fuzzy, a little smelly, a little dirty… but totally and fully free! That’s the smile of a boy who has his primary arm back! Woo hoo! I cannot properly express to you the supreme, yet simple, joy of standing next to Minor at the kitchen sink and watching him wash his…
Photo: I probably shouldn’t post this because I’m sure one of ya’ll is a pediatric orthopedist who is going shaking your head in much disapproval. But look at this child! What cast? For real! It comes off (fingers crossed) on Wednesday morning! When Ursa Minor woke up yesterday morning, his first question was, “is…
Photo: Just in case if anyone is wondering about Ursa Minor and his broken little wrist… as you can see, the child is doing just fine. X-rays and cast off next week! (yay!) First bills for all of this nonsense just coming in (boo). This child, as you can see, is in very good spirits. …
Photo: Decadence is a bowl of Hood golden vanilla ice cream with deep, dark, incredible local honey drizzled over top of it. I’m serious. We picked up our veggies from the CSA yesterday and they had on offer sticks of local honey. The color alone was appetizing enough but oh, my Dear Reader, the taste… the…
Photo: I have the high privilege of getting to know two teenagers thanks to church and parental friendships. I thought it would be nice to share summer reading with them this year and one of my books came in the mail today! This is actually a great way to keep me accountable for my own reading…
Photo: A collaboration of Minor’s preschool class, slinky art! Slinky, paint, butcher paper and preschoolers. The fact that art was made on the paper and not all over my child is a miracle. I have to stop a moment, take a breath and take stock of what happened this week: First: Ursa Minor had his last…
So, I’m calling this a [Sponsored] post because I was a guest of Disney at the Fairmont Copley hotel for a morning. I didn’t pay to attend this event that I was invited to, this post isn’t selling anything, and I’m not being paid (directly) to write about my experience but…Free breakfast, free valet (that’s valuable…
Can you spot it? Can you spot the missing thing!? I sent that child to school with a head full of teeth yesterday. Teeth we both worked so hard for him to get (yes, teething is a team effort, ya’ll. I’m taking partial credit for every one of those chompers. The Husband should as well!). His…
Photo: At least I have this gorgeous new piece of equipment to help out! So I woke up on Saturday morning, had my coffee and waited for the truck to come up the driveway. This cedar play structure was built in a few hours, but it represents the extraordinary blessing of community, friendship and incredible generosity.…
I walked into the playroom yesterday morning to find the mess that you see in the featured photo. Little grains of rice were spread all over one side of the room and were being used as part of the boy’s imaginative play. Sometimes they were thrown to represent rain and/or snow. Sometimes they were…
