This little man is just a few days away from being 5 months old. Where does the time go? Does time seem to be cruising by faster than normal lately or is it just me?
So the weather forecast was correct. We got the three inches or so of snow that had been predicted, and my kids have lost. their. minds with excitement. (I’m talking really excited.)
In the spirit of gratitude.2012, I’ve committed to taking note of the wonderful details in everyday life. And after spending an hour or so shoveling sidewalks and cleaning snow-covered cars, I noticed the frost had formed neat little streaks on the windows in the sunroom.
More often than not, it’s these little things that make me smile. Have a good weekend.
I’ve heard it’s supposed to snow Thursday night, but for now I’m just going to enjoy the mild temperatures and the sun. This wonderful low winter sunlight.
It wouldn’t be Friday around here without a reflection on the past week. So here’s my virtual toast to all of you and the small, but precious things that seem to be around every corner lately.
And speaking of gratitude, I’m embarking on a little journey this year. The idea is to help me document and give thanks for all the things that keep me smiling when the wheels fall off the wagon. I’m taking part in a group led by Karen Walrond (aka Chookooloonks) that promises to link photography and the practice of giving thanks. You just can’t go wrong there. Find more information on the group here:
Have a great weekend folks.

Happy new year everyone!
Here we are, 2012, and hoping the new year treats you well.
I wanted to thank the handful of you that keep visiting, commenting and keeping me sane. You’re the best. When things are slow here, you can always find me on Instagram.
This actually happened. I strapped a 7-foot tree to the top of a minivan and drove it home on Sunday. It’s about to get all Griswold up in here. How was your weekend?
I’ve been enjoying a lot of the gratitude posts I’m seeing around on blogs lately.
I’m a big fan of the practice and make a point everyday to think about and appreciate 1 thing that was the highlight of my day. And since it’s Friday, I’ve come up with five things for today — and it’s not even noon here. I know. I’m a giver.
Have a good weekend.
I’ve never been one of those adults who gets super-excited for Halloween, but boy, do the kids love it. Any excuse to dress up and parade around in public is okay by them. Have a good week folks.
Hello, it’s been a while. A few life changes have been keeping me busy and spread thin. Luckily I see light at the end of the tunnel. And it’s the beautiful light of autumn sunshine.
I hope to get back to posting here more often. In the meanwhile, here are a few scenes from my Sunday.
Another reason I love this little 6-year-old: She even makes a rainstorm into a fun thing.
She came to me wearing waterproof sandals, swim goggles and an umbrella and asked if she could play outside during a light drizzle that followed a heavy rainfall earlier in the morning. Who could say no to that? Within minutes she was splashing in puddles, twirling her umbrella and literally singing in the rain.
Here’s hoping your Saturday is happy as hers.
