Kids on the edge of a cliff

Positive Parenting / By

On our recent visit up *north* (meaning, Virginia) my parents took us on an awesome hike along the Potomac River, a trail called the Billy Goat Trail. I had psyched myself up for days before this trip, knowing it would be the first time my kids would be hiking on big rocks, at relatively dangerous elevations, and I knew it would be a big lesson in trust for me. Of course the kids were amazing. They just loved it, and they were strong hikers, climbing and exploring and using common sense, hydrating often, sensing which rocks they were comfortable climbing […]

A can of paint for the kids

Positive Parenting / By

A new, huge, wall filled with chalkboard paint. I’m saying it is for the kids, but it is totally for me. I used to have about 15 different family pictures on the wall cluttering up our main hallway, and as much as I love them, they needed to find a bigger space then a narrow hallway. Time to simplify. I just finished reading Simplicity Parenting by Kim John Payne… and it really had me thinking. I don’t align with all of it, because I deeply feel that kids are a lot more able to self-regulate then he gives them credit

Manacotti Hack

Organic Lifestyle / By

I almost named this post Personal Lasagna. With a title like that, how can you go wrong. Your own personal lasagna. Sounds so much classier then a personal pan pizza, and yet so much less expensive then a personal shopper. A personal lasagna, ready to be slapped on a plate next to a salad and garlic bread, ready to be eaten. I have no idea how to photograph food… so I hope this looks good and doesn’t make you nauseous… But I switched it to Manicotti Hack, because that’s how I invented these. After a few failed attempts at filling

Visit from an old friend

Uncategorized / By

I just had my dearest childhood friend come in for a quick visit. It was too short but then again, it was just right. She’s the kind of gal that I can go for a year or two without seeing, and my connection to her never changes one speck. I get really attached to people. I will love my husband always and forever, and no other man. I will love and adore my children beyond measure forever, and never can anyone ever compare to them in my eyes. My family is now my *one thing*, the one thing I need

My daughter, the artist

Positive Parenting / By

I’ve known for quite a long time that my daughter is extremely skilled at drawing. She could draw animals and people with details like facial features and horns and beaks and tails when she was just one and a half years old. I had an acquaintance tell me right to my face that this was impossible at age one, the brain couldn’t handle it. My daughter’s brain can. Simple as that. She is really amazing at art. At 8 years old, she is by several decades the youngest person in a clay class we take together. Her stuff is always

Songbird tutorial

Organic Lifestyle / By

My goal each day is to find my heartsong… something that makes my heart sing out loud. So it’s not surprising that I’ve been a bit obsessed with birds lately. We have 8 as pets. And they pop up all the time in my paintings. And my sewing. Chirpy little songbirds… I can’t get enough. So I am here today to share them with you. I love softie birds… there are lots of patterns for them out there, I know. Your best buddy Google will hook you up if you want to take a look at all of the hundreds

I guess I am officially a house wife.

Organic Lifestyle / By

Why does this annoy me as much as it thrills me? It really does. I hate that I love the sight of laundry hanging on the line. It seems like it should be oppressive… degrading… at the very least, unfair that I’m doing laundry while my hubby finds fulfillment at work… changing patient’s lives, chatting with his lovely office staff, getting to be the boss of something larger then the chores. And most chores are like that. My husband comes home in the afternoon and we talk about our day… his seems so fulfilling, helping patients towards health, while I’ve
