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…

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
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.…
