Stand in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, where the good way is, and walk in it; then you will find rest for your souls. ~ Jeremiah 6:16
November is almost over, and while we have enjoyed the down time from therapy we still have barely scratched the surface of all the things that need doing around here. That said we have been busy. I am another year older, perhaps not wiser. At 37 I made a list of 37 things I wanted [...]
I think most North Americans are somewhat familiar with Groundhog Day. On February 2 nd we await to see if the little guy will peek out of his hole and see his shadow. Supposedly, if he sees his shadow then it is six more weeks of winter, and if he doesn’t then we will [...]
I am always crafting something and recently I crocheted this bunny for Hannah. I found her pattern for free on Raverly, you can find the pattern here. I chose to go with a slightly heavier yarn than it suggested. Only because I really loved the feel of it. It was an alpaca wool blend, [...]
You know there is always two ways to look at something, and sometimes even more than two. Last night as I tucked Joel in to bed he looked at me and said, “I can’t wait for tomorrow!” “Oh why’s that?” I asked “Cuz I get my Easy Pod!” I always try to prep him the [...]

I have a tradition with my children each birthday I tell them everything I remember from the day they were born. I love watching their eager faces as I tell them their story. It is funny each year it is like the first time that they have heard the story, because they await each detail [...]
I would love to tell you that I had some fantastic reason why I have been absent from here, but that just wouldn’t be true. We have had a busy summer, working in the garden, hosting family and friends, but my latest distractions was little ones not feeling well. My children started with cold symptoms, [...]
I am so late writing about Joel’s birthday, it was on the 14th of this month. We were late getting in on the 14th that I decided to write about it the next day. Unfortunately, the next day we were hit with the news that one of Joel’s fellow cancer fighters was not doing so [...]
On a moonlit night not long ago, down the path to their new tent home, traipsed 5 little friends already for bed. In they went and hung their lights, they whispered and planned, with blankets wrapped cozy and tight, they each breathed a soft, ‘good night!’ But one little friend was frightened, she worried that [...]
Today my sweet girl turned 12. I always say this but I can’t believe she is 12, although in many ways she seems so much more grown-up than 12. Maybe it has to do with all she has been through and seen. She made countless trips to the Children’s Hospital when Joel was having his [...]
Today my little man is 17 months old and I can hardly believe it. Time has flown by yet at the same time I find it hard to remember our lives without him. Samuel has brought so much joy to our lives. Each of my children are special in their own ways but I think [...]
Hard to believe my little girl is already 5, that also means we have been in Eastern Ontario for 5 years! Hannah was born about a month after we moved down this way. Hannah was very excited to turn 5 and she kicks off our summer birthdays, there are 4 in the summer. We had [...]
Today I celebrated the best Father’s Day I can remember. We got up and headed off to church which was held in a local park, after the service we had a BBQ and then games, pedal boats, and a whole big bunch of fun. Late in the afternoon we packed up and got ourselves ready [...]
I found this on Pinterest today. I wonder if that means that great Moms have big piles of laundry to fold??? I hope so!!
