When You Want to  Press Rewind (a post from the archives)

A post from the archives, as kids start school this year and I’m reeling a bit at how quickly time passes… It’s a strange feeling, standing here in this mostly empty house. It has been nearly 3 years, but it still feels like home. It’s hard, renting out the place that once was your home. […]

When You Want to Press Rewind

It’s a strange feeling, standing here in this mostly empty house. It has been nearly 3 years, but it still feels like home. It’s hard, renting out the place that once was your home. Hard to let it go and hope that another loves it half as much as you. What’s harder, though, is the […]

Roots (a post from the archive)

Dusting off the blog and doing a little housekeeping.  In the meantime, the State Fair was last week.  Here’s a post from the archives about the day I took the kids to their first Rodeo…    Little me, with my red cowboy hat (and unfortunate haircut) on my birthday.   It has been so many […]

Death Star (Adventures in Produce)

Death Star (Adventures in Produce)

It started out innocently enough.  “You’ll never guess what I saw in the produce department,” Middle child casually mentioned as we unloaded groceries.  “They had a bunch of exotic fruit…dragon fruit, starfruit, and something called a Buddha hand.”  We went on to discuss the odd assortment of fruit as we put away our (tame by […]

Bandages

Bandages

The bowl hit the counter and shattered at the same moment he tried to catch it, leaving a cut that quickly bled through two bandages.  As I swept up the pieces one pricked my finger and there we were, bleeding in the kitchen early on a Wednesday morning.  I wrapped his wound in cotton, pulling […]

Grace in the Empty Spaces

Erica Hale Faith, Family faith, kids, music 4 Comments

The sanctuary is nearly empty, quiet but for the faint leaving-noises that filter in as the last people head home.  It is a warm space here in the quiet, lights low and the air seems heavier than usual, a good heavy…like a soft warm blanket around my shoulders. We are watching Eldest and his friends […]

This is what you do….

  This is what you do….   When your fever has reached 104    And the doctor says there’s nothing to do but medicate and wait it out  And you need to have a little joy as much as you need to cool off.

Heat

Heat

Time goes slowly in the heat of a fever. The hours limp by in a fog of exhaustion, sticky with sweat and liquid Tylenol.  I count the hours, the long ones that lay stretched out before us on day three of a sick baby.  How to pass the time, when this little one needs only […]

Gratitude Journal…Thanksgiving

Sorry to have gone missing on you…what a whirlwind the last ten days have been!  We were blessed to have my parents in, and spent the week enjoying life with them.  The weeks around Thanksgiving bring three family birthdays, out of town guests, and often some frantic editing and photo work.  It was amazing to […]

Stereoscopic Vision

Stereoscopic Vision

  Youngest sits on her chair, perched dangerously near the edge.  She is swinging her feet under the chair, her ankles crossed, beaded flip-flops swaying back and forth, back and forth.  She is dressed in what she came downstairs in before we left, a pair of green camouflage capris, a pink fleece pullover with boldly […]
