This baby, the one who stretched my body more than the others, and who has also stretched the limits of my patience and broadened the limits of my love, she went to kindergarten today. She was so excited, so ready. And I was too. But then I looked back at this photo, remembering the blur of … [Read more...]
In Her Sights
This photo kind of sums up my relationship with Avelyn these days: she holds high-powered emotions in her hand and I am in her sights, ready to catch the brunt of her 7 year-old angst and it's making me a little crazy and I wish there were dollar bills flying in the air to pay for all of the stuff … [Read more...]
Hooves For Half-Pints
We are so lucky to live next door to not only one of my best girlfriends, but a girlfriend who is a gifted horse trainer and has begun providing lessons for little ones. As soon as I heard Arielle was back in the saddle (pun intended) after taking time off after the birth of her last baby, I jumped … [Read more...]
My Third’s Third
Brinley turned three today. I couldn't help but think back to her fast and furious entrance into this world at 3 am, and how she was the world's cutest baby and then became a bit of a terror when she turned two and is still so stinkin' cute but such a little brat sometimes. Love that little … [Read more...]
I Hope You Dance
My patience has been thin, these past few weeks. Too much on the go, too many things to remember, too many fights to break up between three snarling girls all day. I have been yelling too much, sighing too much, wanting to escape too much and that is not how I want to be remembered. I hope they … [Read more...]
Love, Sweet Love.
This weekend we celebrated with family as my husband's brother tied the knot with the love of his life. The setting was exquisite: a secret forest, tucked away in a valley, with goats and miniature horses running amok, a sparkling pond, a cozy barn, and too many details to list. Basically, … [Read more...]
Ready For SCHOOL.
The last few days of summer, sweet as they are, are the only thing between me and the kids going back to school. They are a little like this ghetto trampoline net...I can see through it, see the end of summer, and it's so close I can taste it, but the routine-less days are holding me captive, kind … [Read more...]
Paleo Update
So, after last week's post, musing about the possibility of trying the Paleo diet, I just kind of quietly went for it. I didn't have grandiose dreams of sticking with it for a month, or even a week, but just took it one day, one meal, at a time. I did it. And am still doing it. Here's what I … [Read more...]
Pondering Paleo
There are many things I swore I'd never be: anything but a stay-at-home mom, someone who likes to exercise at the crack of dawn, or a coffee snob. And yet, here I am. The things I used to think people were crazy for doing, I now do them. The final realm of Crazy for me has always been the Paleo … [Read more...]
Ready For Our Close-Up!
Our family was featured in a video about what it's like growing Ambrosia apples. Check it out for a peek into our lives on the orchard! [youtube id="CRRmdjNv70U"] … [Read more...]
