Be: Loving

3 February 2012

Here are some thoughts on being loving. I call love many things. But, easy isn’t one of them. Loving isn’t a demeanor or state of mind I naturally bend. I want to sleep-in later, shop more often, and exercise less patience. None-the-less, I want to receive love at every turn regardless of my contributions or lack thereof. For me, [...]

One Word Resolution 2012: Be

My 2012 One Word Resolution is Be. Really it’s sort of a catch all word, be. I had a hard time narrowing my word choice down, seeing as it is nearing the end of the New Year season, I figured I’d best be getting on with things. Be: kind, daring, selfless, funny, willing, faithful, connected, [...]

I’ m not sure what to say about my life. I only know that it feels good to type. My life sprawls out on the screen in front of me like an open book. I read my own blog to see where I’ve been and where I’m going. For 3 1/2 years I’ve come to [...]

Books. My library card could catch on fire from all the action it gets from checking out books. Fresh Produce from friends and family. Between my brother-in-law, mother-in-law and my neighbor we ate like kings this summer. Homegrown kings. (my salsa recipe will be coming soon — save those tomatoes!) School Supplies. I’ve been collecting [...]

This school year Ryan, my first grader, has started homeschooling. We do school at home, at the zoo, during van rides, waiting in line, before bed, in the school room, at the kitchen counter, you get the idea. Basically, our lives have turned into living lessons with some worksheet thrown in for good measure. Establishing a [...]

The dog days of summer are almost over. In Minnesota, I am heading into the weird transitional mini-season that holds the State Fair and Halloween decor, beach swimming and school supplies. So before, the boat, the marshmallows, and the sunscreen are all a distant memory, I want to show you what is in the “lost [...]

Finding Opportunities for Concentration to Understand Something -Jess @ Just aBlink I don’t often have time to think. Sounds dumb, but it’s true. Spending time in a good ‘think’ to remember where I’ve been and where I am going is a wonderful blessing. Much of my attention while raising little ones is focused on the who, [...]
