Normally I try to keep my kids out of my writing as I want to respect their right to privacy. There are just some things that I have to share. Of all the people in my life, my daughters are the most incredible women I know. Yes, I know I'm their mom so I'm supposed … Continue reading Mom Bragging Moment (or several)

New Year
The new year has started with more snow on the ground. It seems like a great day to snuggle in, watch movies, have soup, and just be quiet. Of course I will be crocheting as well. My to do list is ever growing for crocheting. I like it that way.For the past two years I’ve … Continue reading New Year
Yule or Winter Solstice
The year is waning, winding down to the calendar end of year. More than that though it is a time when we have harvested all of our items – whether from the garden or from our lives.
