Our yard, in the front is primarily a mix of clover, dandelions, creeping charlie and some grass. The backyard is mostly creeping charlie and some grass. If you\’ve never had creeping charlie in your yard, well like the name says, it creeps and spreads rather quickly. We had it in our garden, still do, butContinue reading “Lessons From Pulling Out A Creeping Charlie Plant”

Perfectly Imperfect
My oldest has a stuffed animal cat. The stuff animal once was mine when I was a kid. However, it wasn\’t a stuffed animal that I carried around with me, had it in my bed, and it probably most likely sat in a bin. Years ago I had gone through a bunch of items atContinue reading “Perfectly Imperfect”
Beauty in Being Pressed
When I was a kid I had a fascination, an awe of pressed flowers. Seeing them on cards, journals, bookmarks, between wax paper and seeing their beauty. There was something about seeing the colors pressed and preserved. There was a hidden beauty that shined through. My kiddos have an interest in science experiments and lookingContinue reading “Beauty in Being Pressed”
Seeking Rest in Nature
A little over a year ago I came across Saundra Dalton\’s book \”Sacred Rest\” and it was a game changer in how I go about my day to day and how I set up rhythms and routines with a more natural flow. What is rest? What does it look like, what does it mean, howContinue reading “Seeking Rest in Nature”
In the Quiet
In the quiet, in the silence what do you feel? For me, I rarely let myself do this. When it is quiet in the house, I tend to turn the T.V. on, put music on, listen to a podcast. I do something. Even if I try reading, I let random scrolling pull me away. TheContinue reading “In the Quiet”
Moving Beyond The Layers Through Writing
Putting my fingers to the keys feels so weird. Generally I love to write and miss taking time out to do so, but lately the day comes and goes before I know it another week has gone by and I haven\’t taken the time to write. Writing is how I let out what is onContinue reading “Moving Beyond The Layers Through Writing”
Embracing Easter, Spring, & Changes
Yesterday was Easter and we were blessed by a Nor\’easter Winter storm. While it didn\’t dump much more than 3ish inches, it was a hard switch from the day before that was in the 60s, warm, sunny, and we had a picnic dinner out on the deck. Yup, I know it\’s still early Spring andContinue reading “Embracing Easter, Spring, & Changes”
It\’s April, It\’s Spring ~ Full of Emotions, Change, Newness, and Growth
So each month I have a focus word with an overall word for the year. March\’s word was release and my year word is light. It is interesting how release showed up big. When March started our calendar was full, but still had some room for down time in it. We went from a fullContinue reading “It\’s April, It\’s Spring ~ Full of Emotions, Change, Newness, and Growth”
Changing Things Up
For a bit now I have been telling myself that I am going to use nap time, morning time, evening, whenever for XYZ. Yet, often I have found when the time comes I do something completely else. Why? One excuse or another really. Most often is because I don\’t set myself up for it. WithContinue reading “Changing Things Up”
Thoughts and Mindshifts
I haven\’t put my fingers to the keys much for the past two weeks. After March 16, I did a quick note in My Mama Side Musings Newsletter and even that went out later than usual. Monday\’s I tend to blog write and Thursday\’s is time for the newsletter. But this week has been allContinue reading “Thoughts and Mindshifts”
