Don't Wait. The trouble is, you think you have time. -Jack Kornfield I have never professed to be a good housekeeper. Indeed I am far from it. But I am trying. Part of that is working on the process of decluttering. I could talk all day about that process. And I may... but [...]

Musings from my active mind
The real me.... Ok, not the really, real me.... there is a snapchat filter. No makeup... No sleep... not a great combo for me. I do reserve the right to maintain some of my dignity. Thanks so much for the love on yesterday's post. In the beginning, I almost deleted it. But being real is [...]
A Work in Progress
A Work in Progress. And aren't we all a work in progress? Today, I mean this both figuratively and literally. When I started blogging last year, it was a journey of discovery. It still is a journey of discovery. A mom trying to find her place in a new found world. A world of raising [...]
Ambience & Hygge
Hygge. What does that word even mean?! Ok. Most of you probably already know since it was shortlisted by Oxford Dictionary to be a Word of the Year for 2016. I, however, live in the dark ages and stumbled across this word last Sunday. We were driving to my mother-in-law's and I was scrolling through Instagram [...]
WPC -Resilient
Resilient. The photo challenge this week is "Resilient". Pondering those places, people, or things that endure. Reflections proper for the end of the year. Or in my case, the beginning. I love when people that have been through hell walk out of the flames carrying buckets of water for those still consumed by the [...]
Time Travel Tuesday – Blogging Reflection

So my travel back in time this week isn't into the distant past, it's to the beginning of 2016. You can find my [...]
The Love of a Father
The Love of a Father. A Father's Love is a thing to be treasured. In honor of my father's 60th birthday, I share my thoughts with all of you as well. My father gave me the greatest gift anyone could give another person: He believed in me. -Jim Valvano Time seems to pass so quickly. [...]
Peaceful Horizon
Peaceful Horizon. This time of year seems to be busy, busy, busy. The oldest went on a discovery flight and made a discovery! He loved flying so much that he is now exploring his options to become a pilot. The middle child finally made it to his brace freedom day. He has braces no longer and [...]
WPC: Holiday Season
Holiday Season. The photo challenge of the week is "It's not this time of year without..." Having just enjoyed Thanksgiving with my Virginia family, I can definitely say "family" "laughter" "good food". But thinking beyond that...into my existence as a Virginian these past 3 years, what is something that I enjoy about the holiday season? [...]
Love letter to my daughter
1,000 wishes I've wished for you. 1,000 more will I wish. In my youth, I dreamed of someday having a daughter. As your dad and I fell in love, I sat on his back porch telling him of my dreams. He told me that he hoped that my daughter was his daughter too. A story [...]
