When the kids are little, a large part of the time is spent teaching new things, or celebrating milestones accomplished.
Although I make it a point to rejoice in those things, often my memory is such that soon after, I might forget the details within the event.
On Sunday, Phoenix tied his shoes by himself for the [...]
With spring coming, comes much excitement over the backyard. We’ve been enjoying it almost everyday, for about a week. It’s reminded me of why we wanted to get a house with a big backyard. Something I’d been longing for, for so many years.
Another reason for a big backyard is having a garden. When we moved [...]
Yesterday I had a great country adventure.
After seeing a sign last week that said “Fresh Brown Eggs — Drive In” , I made a mental note to return as soon as I could. Yesterday was that day.
After both boys were in school, we drove about a mile down this quiet road, passing nice spacious properties, [...]
I don’t buy stuff for myself very often.
I don’t shop much for clothes, or shoes or make-up.
I don’t get my nails done, I don’t get massages or go to the spa.
In a rare moment, I buy something for the kitchen. That is something I use, but it will benefit the whole family.
Of course, there are [...]
Phoenix is 5. Sometimes, he says the funniest things.
Today, we were eating at a newly found “real” Chinese restaurant(hardly any Americans were there- except for the ones who were having a party for parents of Chinese-adopted children).
When Phoenix was asked whether or not he liked Fabio’s “spicy” Singapore Mai Fun, he replied “It may [...]
okay, so this weekend, I was asked to reveal the picture I posted a little over a week ago.
I told Michelle, I would post it this week, so here it is.
Nobody got it fully right, so I just did a drawing from the names of the participants; whichever name Phoenix picked out of the hat, [...]
A little contest…
Whoever gets this right will get a print of one of my photos… as a prize.

On thanksgiving day, I put more fod out for the birds.
We have 2 suet feeders on our huge maple, and they were empty, so I decided the birds needed a treat on thanksgiving as well.
Within 10 minutes of the food being out there, I spotted over 10 different species of birds. I am still in [...]
I’m working on another piece. I had hoped to finish last night, and now I’m hoping to finish it tonight.
I am, however, experimenting, and using my awesome new easel, so, those things are great things.
Just to keep you checking in, here’s me, working on the new easel. Isn’t it awesome?!!
Any guesses as to what place [...]
