What’s going on around here?

  What’s going on around our house?  Well, turns out that one of the downsides to an old, charming home is that any home improvement project you start opens up a Pandora’s Box of other issues that need to be fixed before the actual project can even get started.  Case in point:  Lead Paint (can […]

Ten Years Old!

Ten Years Old!

Middle Child turned ten yesterday! It’s hard to believe a decade has passed. She is such a joy…so sweet, creative, and kind. We celebrated with a sleep over, followed by a family party. We’re a little tired after all the festivities, but it was a fitting way to ring in the double digits! The celebration […]

It’s been a crazy month, with a lot of ups and downs. We have been thinking about moving to a suburb nearby, which is closer to hubby’s work and our church. We adore our little displaced farmhouse, and the thought of leaving it is so sad…but we spend so many hours in the car that […]

Twined….knitted….bound by love. Just thinking today of the blessing of family, of siblings, of growing up together. I love watching my kids work together, love each other, teach one another. There is a sweetness to their relationship that I have no words to describe. Just….blessed.

Sleepless

Erica Hale Uncategorized GERD, kids, other stuff 6 Comments

Sleep that knits up the ravell’d sleeve of care…. Shakespeare’s Macbeth quoted here, pulled from my mind. My mind, which seems clogged and sluggish, like a car engine trying to start in below-zero weather, or molasses being poured from its bottle, right out of the refrigerator. My sluggish, sleepy mind. Eldest has not been sleeping […]

Following up on yesterday’s post, I wanted to share the rest of the story and also to thank those of you who have written comments or notes to me about it. I feel compelled to say that although I am very proud of how my kids are growing, it’s not we…hubby and I…who deserve credit […]

Cloud-watching

This morning, I was feeling quiet and lazy. All three kids and I crawled back into bed after breakfast, taking with us various books and one small cat. The older two moved on after finishing their reading, but Youngest stayed and snuggled with me as she studied the ceiling. “Were the people who made this […]

Some thoughts on the kitchen

Erica Hale Uncategorized faith, other stuff 3 Comments

Writing that bit about my grandparent’s kitchen brought back a flood of memories, and lots of thoughts on my childhood and how things were back in the time I was remembering. One thing I want to make completely clear: My grandmother was a wonderful, loving, very kind person. She was one of the most generous […]
