It’s taken me a few days to process what I truly want to say. I sure hope it comes out the way I intend. This past weekend I spent some time helping a dear friend through the dark night of the soul. It is difficult to see people you love go through dark days and… Continue reading Paint the Light
One thing I’ve learned about parenting is… the teen-years are hard! I miss the sleepless nights of toddlers. Sleepless nights of teens is harder than I expected.

Yesterday, Mother Nature decided to fill the backyard up with all that winter wonderfulness that kids dream of... well at least for a few hours in the morning. Our usual winter weather is rain.

The problem of simplification is a common struggle among my friends and family. “Life is really simple, but… Continue reading Keeping it Simple
What’s for dinner? That is one of the hardest questions to answer. Stone Age women had no choice but to make do with whatever food their men brought back to the cave after a hard day's hunting. Me? I have to sort through recipes, diets, allergies and picky kids. It just might have been easier… Continue reading Stone Soup
