Trusting our mothering intuition

January 18, 2012

“One of the greatest gifts we can give our children is teaching them to listen to their intuition by learning to listen to our own” I really look forward to getting the mail each day during the winter months.  It give me a reason to take the girls outside each day even if it is [...]

Beautiful moment

January 13, 2012

Last night John had a work event that went late into the evening (he didn’t get home until 10pm). I was left to do bedtime alone, which usually isn’t a problem, but last night Lillian wasn’t feeling well because of a cold she is trying to fight. I did everything to try and schedule the [...]

A New Year

January 2, 2012

Christmas is over, we have celebrated the new year and today I gathered the energy to take down the decorations and the tree.  There is a certain sadness that hangs in the air like early morning fog across the cranberry bogs when I take down the decorations.  I always feel a little depressed when the [...]

Just as we are

December 18, 2011

The girls are asleep, I’m sitting in my flannel PJs under my warmest down comforter listening to Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker on the iPod, wishing I was dancing on stage with some of the world’s best ballerina.  John is sitting next to me reading and I can’t help but feel the urge to blog!  I rarely get [...]

The art of storytelling

November 23, 2011

“Someplace deep within me, I carry every story I have every heard, every story I have ever lived, every story I will ever need” Katrina Kenison In the long nights that unfold while I nurse Lillian back to sleep, I’ve had the pleasure of reading Mitten Strings for God by Katrina Kenison.  In Mitten Strings [...]

My new journey

November 17, 2011

My dear readers, The last couple of months afforded me time to sit and think about my life. I know this may sound a bit strange, especially considering I’ve been at home with a newborn and a toddler. But truth be told, having a new baby that nurses around the clock does provide you with [...]

Our week in review!

November 4, 2011

This was our full week in California’s Bay area and we all will be so sad to leave such an amazing place.  We are excited to return home, see our dog and extended family and starting getting ready for the Holidays, but a big part of me is very sad to say good bye to [...]

Happy 4 months Lillian

October 27, 2011

Dear Lillian, I am amazed that today is your 4 month birthday! As I stare into your eyes I still can see a glimmer of the tiny 6lb 10oz newborn.  Your eyes are the window into your soul, shining bright, expressive and full of life.  You are becoming more alert every single day, laughing all [...]
