~Capturing the context of contentment in everyday life, as inspired by the women at Like Mother, Like Daughter~ {Pretty} Another pretty find in the CSA box (who knew vegetables could be so attractive?): this striped squash. The blend of greens delighted me enough that I was hesitant to cut into it. (Jonathan felt no such … Continue reading "{Pretty, Happy, Funny, Real}"

A small voice, in the dead of night, from Jonathan’s side of the bed. “Mama, I go potty in my undies.” He’s gone, Jonathan is, a quick trip east for work, so I drag my eyes open and shuffle to her, gathering her in my arms. “It’s ok, sweetheart. Let’s get you cleaned up.” I … Continue reading "This Daily Life: Snapshots"

I was sorting through my drafts folder recently and found several that needed just a touch of revision. This one, originally written in July of last year when Katie was a two-year-old in love with swimming and I was a round eight months pregnant, seems appropriate to share today: we opened the pool for the … Continue reading "Swimming with Katie"

This Thing Called Life

We sang “My Worth is Not in What I Own” yesterday morning at church, and it’s been playing in a continuous loop in my head ever since.
