Today, my firstborn son is four years old. There are a few things that I have a hard time believing. One, that I have such a thing as a firstborn son. When my husband & I got married, neither of us wanted to have children. It was eight years before we had Jude. It wasn’t … More May The Fours Be With You
Ok, so I don’t love it enough to get up in the middle of the night, but I do love it & thanks to modern technology, I can see it all on my computer. I know there are people who think it’s a waste of time, boring & there are things going on the world that … More I Love Me a Good Royal Wedding
This week’s new recipe is Stuffed Meatballs with a side of strangeness. I used this recipe for the meatballs & took a little liberty, not measuring much. I also used ground turkey instead of ground beef or pork. They were so yummy! My youngest couldn’t get enough of them & my oldest liked taking the … More Challenge #3 Stuffed Meatballs & Wiggly Hotdog Monsters
You can’t see it in the photos, but it was snowing while I was taking these pictures! Crazy days. I figured since it was snowing, I was allowed to wear one of my favourite shawls again. I am in full on preparation mode for Jude’s birthday – he’s 4 tomorrow! We are having a Star … More Snow, Star Wars & Chaos
One of the things I like about going to see my sister & her family in Tacoma (besides all the good family times, of course), is visiting stores we don’t have in wee Bend. I was super excited about going to H&M this past weekend – I’ve found lots of fun stuff there in the … More A Rant & A Rave About Forever 21
I got quite a few comments at church on my little top hat. Mostly good, but also a bit taken aback. My husband was fairly cheeky about my wee little hat – he liked the rest of my Easter outfit, but thought the little hat was slightly ridiculous. I love it though! One lady asked … More Did you mug a doll for that hat?
What a beautiful day in my sister’s neighbourhood! We had a lovely day as a family. We took the boys to an Easter egg hunt at a local church – lots of fun. What a great church – reaching out to the community. The boys loved looking for the eggs. Home again for lunch & … More Twas the Day Before Easter
It’s Good Friday. I love this Easter season – the idea of Spring, the candy, the eggs, the kid’s excitement, but most especially the reminder of life & resurrection. Tonight, my Mom organised a Passover meal for us. My sister, my Mom & I all prepared various dishes & my Dad led us through the … More Challenge #4 Passover
What a beautiful day. Good Friday commemorates a dark event, but the “deeper magic” is already at work. We have cause to celebrate. I am with my parents, my sister, her family & my family & it is good. So thankful for times together – seeing our children grow together. We are having a very … More It's a Very Good Friday
Woke up to more snow today, yes, snow. It’s all good. It didn’t last long. Kind of messed with some travel plans, but it all turned out ok. So thankful for times of celebration & joy with our family. Not much time to post, but took a quick picture of my outfit today. Shirt: Torrid … More Maundy, Maundy, Can't Trust That Day
