I don’t know why I love painting Easter eggs so much. I mean, they are a lot of work, and we make a big mess. But there’s something about it I just love. Maybe it’s just the creative juices that get me going. Love Lucy’s concentration on her “creativity.” Maybe it’s because it’s a…
Some day I will get cooking and post some more stuff for my “Thursday recipes”…as of the last couple weeks we are surviving on spaghetti and meals brought to us from kind, sweet people who have had mercy on us with this move. For now let’s talk about March. Cause it was a great, full,…
My parents had their first child (a sweet little blonde daughter) on their first anniversary. For reals. On the very day. And I was born 18 months after that. We have never really known life without each other and I am sooooo grateful for that wise sister of mine who helped me through…

November was a good one. I want to capture it here before it slips right through the holes in my memory. Here we go. Sometimes I just feel the need to follow these two out in the morning and take a picture when they are leaving for school. They make my heart hurt I love…
