    Sam’s sixth adventure

    My how the time flies Wings shimmering in the sun, Sparkling butterflies Marvellously fun My littlest hobo Growing so fast Watching you glow Moments that last Another year approaches Oh, what she will do Life and love for coaches And a heart that’s true blue We celebrate with cake Ice cream and toys While we…

    Friday night zzzz’s

    Another Friday at home, My little ones and I We eat our burgers and rings While our movie rolls by Then before we know it It’s bedtime again One, two, three hit the hay While I sit with my pen I think about the day About the week that went by My to-do list topples…

    Home again

    Home. My interlude by the sea almost forgotten although it was only a few hours ago, I quietly crawled into bed to the warmth of my loved ones. The soft sound of little breaths, a whistle and a snore filled the air, while he dreams sweetly beside me. They missed me, as always, but I’m…

    Intermission from home

    I boarded the plane, turning my back on my home and lifting into the skies. As we soared over the mountains I was filled with a sense of awe at the beauty and enormity of nature. Snow already covered the highest peaks, but the sky was cerulean blue as the sun beamed down. I caught…

    Too much Tuesday

    First day back at school, but no, I didn’t take the pictures. I was already gone, headed to work before the kids went to school. I asked my husband if he could take pictures, and he did. But he warned me in advance that the kids were crying. Not about anything earthshaking or new, just…

    Fall cleaning

    Day two of the adventure to declutter and transfer kid belongings went reasonably well. For starters, I was not puked on, which automatically made today a good day. I did get a little overwhelmed by the sheer amount of things that needed attending to, but somehow, excitement crept in. I realized that in order to…

  • Life and the fall of summer

    Another month gone, the summer draws to a close. I see the leaves changing, yellow and orange appearing as though the green was dipped in paint, An art project one of my kids left out to dry. The summer was so short and now again I feel the chill in the mornings, barely above freezing…

  • Midweek musings

    Midweek musings

    I took last night off my blog. I’d thought about writing, then deliberately made the choice not to. My year of blogging dangerously was over months ago, but I’m happy to find that it has remained a valuable part of my day, on most days, at least. Yesterday however, was not one of those days.…
