This is the best pic from the day. The Grand discovered how to swing like a monkey under the table while he was retrieving the ball. It was hilarious and surprising at the same time! I would love to know what he was thinking as he accidently discovered a new […]

I chatted with a mom today who will be taking her youngest to college in about a week. The daughter is a junior so this mom knows all too well how quiet the house will be in a couple of weeks. She already anticipates her empty bedroom and one less […]

At first glance today was another day like so many of mine before—write till my brains flatlines, work on paperwork, return emails, water flowers. Maybe you had a similar day—doing what needs to be done but nothing really picture worthy. As I thought through the day, I realized so many […]

The Grand lined up his two blue balls right next to each other in the backyard this afternoon. I took this picture just as he left them. He likes things in order. He does not like “messy.” He says it like, “Messy?”, as if to ask—“Aren’t you going to clean […]

Today was like a relay race for me and am I ever pooped! As a result I don’t have any cool pics except the one I posted of The Grand on Instagram earlier today and this one of the fence. The day started pretty calm, but before I knew it […]

Today was the opposite of Monday. Today family and friends were in and out of the house all day. It was wonderful. We didn’t have anything special going on—just the randomness of life. One of my dear friends and her husband are staying with us while they visit family and […]

Today was a surprise—yep, another one. I had a plan but then I got a text from Kelsey—“What are you doing today?” I know an invitation for impromptu fun when it texts me. Quick shifting of gears! I thought I might need something new to wear for an event I […]

Today was a much more fun day—writing and being with people! After a morning of writing I met Kelsey, The Grand, and their friends at a friend’s pool. I played with the two toddler boys while their mamas talked. Two two-year-olds in the shallow end of a swimming pool are […]
