The Glass Castle

We entered this glass castle together, across the the moat of uncertainty, into a morass of tangled hallways and rooms. The rooms all different shapes and sizes, all made of glass, unique prisms entangling and reflecting the light around us. Attendents conduct us along the pathways. Brief flickers of the…

Mothers Day Interviews

May 14, 2017 Daily Life: Celebrating Motherhood's Moments 2 Comments

Mothers day interviews with my kids are my favorite. It is such a treasure to know that in years to come I’ll be able to read over these and remember the silly little mannerisms and varying levels of knowledge that accompany each age. Honestly, it doesn’t have to be a…

Rainy Day Cookies

April 18, 2017 Daily Life: Celebrating Motherhood's Moments No Comments

Ever wake up to a rainy day and just think “Cookies!”? The only thing my kids love more than making cookies is eating them. Chocolate chip or peanut butter. Oatmeal or snickerdoodles. A good cookie can make a good morning great, and turn a bad day right side up Since…

Sweet Eva Lorraine is one today. I’ve been in a state of shock all week basically, coming to terms with the fact that my third baby is well on her way out of babyhood and into toddlerness. But, I’m not going to wax poetic about her baby days again (see…

Almost One
