{Pretty} I love the bond between this girl and her dad, love the way she waves her arms in excitement when he comes home from work each day, love the giggles and grins she reserves for him. This particular moment was from Saturday afternoon, and it brings a smile to my face just thinking about it. … Continue reading "{Pretty, Happy, Funny, Real}"

{Pretty} Our walks have been absolutely lovely over the last week. I sometimes use our time on the trail to “write” – to work through ideas and phrasings and thoughts in the hopes that the really good stuff will stick long enough for me to jot it down when I get home – but lately, … Continue reading "{Pretty, Happy, Funny, Real}"

We’re getting some much-needed rain in our neck of the woods today – perfect for grabbing a hot cup of coffee or tea and enjoying some good reads.

I’m joining Emily over at Chatting at the Sky as we reflect on the things we learned in February. In no particular order: 1. Yoga pants. I could wear them all day every day. There was a big kerfuffle about yoga pants and modesty earlier in the month, and I paid absolutely no attention to any … Continue reading "What I Learned in February"

{Pretty} We took a walk last Saturday, Jonathan and Katie and Euclid and I. It was beautiful all around, from the weather to the scenery to the togetherness, but I thought the late-afternoon light in this pasture was especially lovely. (I realize many of my pretty things are related to nature. I can’t help it; … Continue reading "{Pretty, Happy, Funny, Real}"

Today’s {Pretty, Happy, Funny, Real} brought to you by the letter ‘B’. {Pretty} Unlike the parts of the country which are suffering from far too much snow, January and February have been unseasonably warm here in our neck of the woods.

It had been one of those days. Two weeks of waking every forty-five minutes to settle a sick baby had taken their toll, and I was beginning to feel the warning signs that a cold was in my future, too: the aching joints, the pounding head, that tickle in the throat and chest that hint at … Continue reading "On Rough Days and Mommy Wars and Grace"

I sometimes have a hard time remembering that small things matter. Perhaps that’s a part of why I started this blog – to remind myself, more than anyone, that faith happens in the daily, in the mundane, in the ordinary, that I need to choose, this moment, who I am going to serve.
