Thoughts on Health… Loving my Daughter, Loving Myself

Female Health, Positive Parenting / By

These preteen years are uncharted waters for me as a parent. I find that they bring up lots of intense emotions for me, and I wonder why. I am finding that loving my daughter, truly loving her, even in her angry pre-teen moments when she thinks she isn’t lovable, brings me a deep satisfaction and often moves me to tears. Don’t get me wrong… when I speak of my daughter being emotional I’m talking about a 15 minute spell of her feeling irritable and stand-offish… understandable when I take a look at her pre-teen body and all the changes that […]

Poem of My Life

Positive Parenting, Soul Healing / By

This is a poem about my life. It is very raw and real and the truest thing I know, for me. It is the story of my existence. I feel like I’ve had two lives… I’ve been two people… the person I was before my family, and the person I have become, almost instantly, after becoming a mother. The person I was before… I don’t love to think about her. I was creative and full of energy, but also full of nerves and never ever comfortable in my own skin. Often critical of others and preferring to compete with life

My Baby

Positive Parenting / By

This huge guy, running at me across the living room, is my little baby. Turning 7. Waaaaahhhhhh! In one weekend, he turns from a young child (6) to an older kid (7)… or at least that is how it feels to me. Oh my goodness, to top it off, he lost his second tooth as well. I love you forever and ever Miles. No matter how big your feet get. Even though we wear the same size shoe (what the heck?!?! You are 7 years old!?!? How come I have to order us both the same sized Crocs?). And even

Positive Parenting / By

Blues and greens and browns… soothing to me. And if you recognize those curtains, yes… they used to be in my dining room! This week’s My Favorite Thing is the bedroom… and I’m just warnin’ ya, there are going to be a LOT of pictures! What I love most is that clump of pictures hanging right on the wall… Here is my bedroom… although I don’t get to see it like this much. Picture the bed messed up, the pull out love seat opened up into a sofa bed, tons of Legos everywhere, and lint and dog hair making an

Instant Bad Luck

Oh my goodness, I have soooo many ideas for blog posts, and so little time. I know this is supposed to be a My Favorite Thing day… and I have so many lovely rooms planned… I want to show you my bedroom, my FROG, my kids rooms, my pantry, my laundry room… it goes on and on. I ALSO want to give you a recipe for the best cookies ever (says my daughter) and a give-a-way from my shop, oh and about a million blog posts after that. But I also want to stick to my three-times-a-week… M,W,F rhythm. If

My Favorite Thing… in my Dining Room

Positive Parenting / By

I am making my second stop in my Friday series (Favorite Thing In My Home…) in my dining room. I went in there to take a look around, stand in appreciation of what I have, and pick the one thing I treasure most about this room of my house. But first, I had to do a little straightening. Because truly, folks, there are a million and one blogs out there showing perfectly amazing women doing amazing crafts and everything always turns out perfectly. And looks beautiful. And if there is one thing I know, it’s that my blog ain’t that
