Whoa. It's been awhile, huh? I'm sorry I left without a word and haven't updated in so long. Life has really changed! If you're wanting to catch up with me, please come visit me at my new blog! And of... Continue reading

i know i can't be perfect.
It's been on my mind a lot lately. I just really want to be kind. And I'm not going to be perfect at it. But I want to try. There are a handful of people on this earth who would say that I am not a kind person at all.... Continue reading

my birthday is good luck.
Neil called me on my birthday (he was doing some side work for a family in Lee's Summit) and said, "Your birthday is good luck! I just got a phone call about work!" (I hesitate now to remind him that in 2009, on my birthday, he was informed he was... Continue reading

flowers in our hair.
I always said I would never put fake flowers on my daughter's head... But I couldn't help myself... we were getting ready to go my cousin's baby shower... and I just thought, what if I saw how they looked? And they were sooooooo cute. The headband didn't last very long... Continue reading

tender.
I'm feeling a bit tender today. That's the best way I can think to describe it. I'm always so amazed by people who (seemingly) go so confidently about life. I hang on to everything. Overanalyze. Obsess over everything I probably did wrong or why someone certainly just doesn't like me.... Continue reading

safe here.
(May 20th, 3 days old. I love how her ears look a bit pointed and elvish here...) Sometimes, (as many babies do) when Ember is napping, she'll let out a small cry, or a whimper. And make such a sad, or slightly alarmed face. And I'm not sure if it's... Continue reading

babywearing.
It took me awhile to get used to using our moby wrap. It's great - but definitely took practice, wrapping, wrapping and wrapping some more to feel totally comfortable using it. But now, we've got it down. And Ember is free to look around, take in the world around her... Continue reading

playing in the mirror.
So, after working on Elimination Communication (more about later, but I can just say, it's crazy awesome), Ember likes to look in the bathroom or bedroom mirror and talk, laugh, smile at the reflections. Silly baby. Silly momma. Continue reading

two whole months.
Ember is two months old today, and a total chatterbox in the mornings: (Ember is Two Months Old - And Talking All About It! from dani johnston on Vimeo.) I really can't believe it's been two months since she arrived. It's no time at all and it's forever and ever.... Continue reading

a challenge and some sneaks!
I posted a challenge up on The Story Matters blog. Go have a look! I hope you'll play along! :) Here's the layout I did for the challenge... I finished up all the little bits and pieces of the December kit with this one, and added some Thickers, tags, and some baker's twine (plus a sneak peek ...
Wow. This was a lot to read and digest. I've had it up i my browser for awhile trying to come up with the perfect thing to say even though I know there isn't one.
My story is nothing like this really, but I can relate to physical and emotional abuse too well.
Thank you for sharing this, and sharing your strength, and I hope it was even just a little healing for you... xoxo.

Wow. This was so much to read and digest. I've had it up in my browser thinking about the perfect thing to thing, even though I know there isn't one.

I'm glad you shared this and hope it was even just a little healing for you... xoxo.

".. my healing is a progress it seems like every time I feel like I am showing change and proof there is always somebody on the outside looking in with lack of knowledge but only what they think they know trying to tell me otherwise."
I SO get this.... everyday it seems like I battle it. It is so easy to look in on others, with little to no information or the WRONG information, and pass so much judgement and opinion. Some days it's hard for me to remember to stand firm in what I know and what I'm trying to do, and not getting rattled. But I just gotta keep trying!
Love this post.

Girls who like rainbows....
That was the theme for little sis' birthday party last Friday. We invited all the girls in her class over to the place where she does art every Thursday. They played games, decorated bags with ribbons, faux flowers, beads, sequins iron-ons, buttons and whatever else the studio had in its boxes ...
these are just gorgeous...!

...."and you've got me too."
I have been married 5 years today. Yep. This whole week has been one giant ball of stress. And not even because of the snake in the toilet. Mostly bills and money related. Which always just sucks right? It's been one of those weeks where every time (probably every day this week) we have thought...
Oh yes, going has definitely been interesting lately, lol!
