30 Days of Thanks Day 1
📍 WyomingHere’s my short and sweet day 1 post: Earlier today I was thankful for the surprise two hour nap both girls got out of a car ride and the garage that enabled me to let them sleep. But I sort of paid for that time at bedtime with Nora, so I think what I really…

30 Days of Thanks
📍 WyomingNot too long after I hit publish on my post about starting a school, I realized that I can’t be as absent from the blog as I had written, because there is no way I can let November go by without doing another 30 Days of Thanks post. Two years ago, I started a tradition…

Happy Fall
I’m in one of those funks where there is so much going on that I can’t find the words for it all. Maybe tomorrow I’ll find motivation for more than just a quick pop in. But, for now, here’s a photo I just took of Chris and Zara… …looking at the snow. Happy fall, indeed.

Sunday Surfing
📍 WyomingI think I might need to change my graphic considering how infrequently I actually get this posted on Saturday…but, I just like it and of course, I always have good intentions to post on Saturdays. 🙂 Anyway, here are some of my recent-ish finds: Have American Parents Got It All Backwards?, Huffington Post — a…
