For years I’ve done a “snapshot” in words at the beginning of each year (2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014) to describe how our family was running right at that moment in time. Because, well, it may go without saying that I am a little bit of a sentimental person. And a record keeper to a…
At the beginning of each new year I like to do a little “snapshot” of what’s going on around here. I know, like I need MORE record along with the thousands of pictures I take to document the going-ons of life in our neck of the woods. But most of the stuff I write here…
I try to do a “written snapshot” of life as we know it in our family at the beginning of each year (the others are here and here and here). Oh how I want to remember the richness of life right here, right now before this part of it slips quietly onto the next stage….
I have a problem. I have a horrible memory. That’s why I take pictures galore. If I have a snapshot of something, even if it’s just a portion of the event, all the details seem to come flooding back when I look back at it. For example, I was just telling Dave the other day…

I want to start taking a little verbal “snapshot” of life at the beginning of each new year. I sort of did it last year here without actually conscientiously meaning to, but now I want to make it a tradition. I write a bunch of feelings and events on this blog, but I don’t write…
Let’s talk about how to inspire children spiritually. Something I’ve been thinking about lately. So I thought it was interesting that I came across this old blog post from March, 2018. Five years ago. I look back at old posts like this with a pondering mind. Would I have changed what I did then knowing…
I’m determined to catch up with my “little things” posts (except I’ll probably never get to those months deep in covid where I didn’t do any). But hey, here we are getting closer with March! And I’ll warn you right here and now, lots happened in March. I mean, Grace got home from her mission…
