: : kid creative : : jump up

As a kid I had neither nerve nor opportunity to show my stuff in a talent show. This was likely a good thing, since my stand-out talent involved a butterfly net, a swamp full of algae and frogs jumping for their lives. This is a different childhood experience for my... Continue reading

: : wonders 5.25.12

For those of you who love a backyard mashmallow roast as much as we do. Outdoor fire season, here we come. Someday this would make for a great adventure, but it might be a little tight for our party of five. For those of you who share my obsession with... Continue reading

: : first harvest

Rhubarb is perhaps the most hearty of garden goodies and its ease of growing makes for a proud farmer. We have a typical Wyoming Memorial Day weather forecast, including snow showers, so we'll hold off on planting annuals and seeds but have faith: the first harvest is in. Snowstorms be...

: : on being eight

Last Sunday was a double scoop kind of day: a birthday and Mother's Day rolled together. One imaginary coffee chip scoop for me and one very real square scoop of birthday cake ice cream for my (gasp!) 8 year-old, Elsie. Five of us spent a mostly sleepless Saturday night in... Continue reading

: : wonders 4.30.12

A new concept for this space where I share stumblings of things delicious, beautiful, brilliant, or inspiring: If you eat eggs, especially fresh ones, this is the ticket. For the smaller cooks in the kitchen, this looks like great fun. Perhaps the best breakfast around, with a new spin. If... Continue reading

: : child's play

Bettina and Taylor headed out early yesterday morning for soccer matches in Idaho, leaving Whit, Elsie and me to brave our 40-degree home soccer field. Spring may very well be the most glorious season is some locales, but in Wyoming it's a hands-tied-behind-your-back shot in the dark. Seasoned parents lined... Continue reading

: : down by the river

Snow has mostly retreated from the valley floor; spring grasses and the first wildflowers are bravely peeking through last summer's hay. We alternate between giving thanks for 55 degrees with sun on our backs, and patiently wading through puddles and snow showers. Not yet Snake River swimming weather for the... Continue reading

: : March, Part 1

We all experience times when life seems to burst open at the seams. Over the last year or so, I've made an effort to rush less, be more present, consciously witness and appreciate the small moments transpiring in our daily family life. Trust me, there have been plenty of days... Continue reading

: : in the hunt

Easter's backyard egg hunt tradition had a new (and improved) twist this spring. In recent years I've reluctantly packaged jelly beans and little chocolates into plastic eggs for the Easter Bunny to scatter around the backyard. I justified this plastic injustice with reassurance that the treats wouldn't get wet in... Continue reading

: : kid creative gallery

Elsie has an incredible passion for horses. She pretends she's a horse daily -- who knew a little girl could become so adept at galloping on hands and feet? She plays with toy horses, stuffed horses, even paper horses. She has read nearly every children's book with a horse sticker... Continue reading

This has been a hustle-bustle sort of week. A flurry of activity in my brain and on my calendar, while snow has flurried outside nearly everyday. (Suddenly we have a TON of snow, and the skiing is seriously good.) I've been scurrying from meetings to appointments, practices to playdates. Despite... Continue reading

Exciting news... I'm sure you are over-the-moon. Pretty sure you'll be enJOYing every minute. Cheers, Libby

: : three boys + treats = entertainment

Jake and Gambler toss their fair share of boy energy into our family. We will never need a doorbell as long as we have these dogs. Add Whitty to the mix and things can get pretty entertaining. If you've spent five minutes with a Labrador, you've already learned they are... Continue reading

: : birthday revisited

Monday was my birthday. Forty-two, sigh. Truth be told, forty was not exactly a celebration in my mind and forty-one didn't cut the mustard either. I'm perfectly comfortable with my now "dirty" blond hair and a few wrinkles, but coming to terms with my age is oddly challenging. Date nights,... Continue reading

My wish for the world is that every child has a mother who loves with such abandon. Beautiful words. Thank you for sharing Sage & Lupine's sparkle.

Commented Feb 22, 2012 on I See You. at Clean.

My kids (ages 11, 7, and 3) each shine their own sort of sparkle, showing me everyday their delightful differences. Biggest is determined, nurturing and learning & reading everything she can reach. Middle is playful, self contented, sensitive and cautious. Littlest is musical, funny and insistent (that's a quality). All are sweet and challenge us in many ways. I'm thankful for these challenges, as they shape us all into more compassionate people, but always welcome more arrows for the parenting quiver. Thank you for reaching out with your ideas.

My kiddos would love one of those chairs. The little feet are delicious. Here's out moment: http://libbyhall.typepad.com/blog/2012/02/a-single-photo-no-words-capturing-a-moment-from-the-week-a-simple-special-extraordinary-moment-a-moment-i-want-to-pau.html

: : mid season fun

Mid winter is here. We're knee deep (and then some) in snow at home and much deeper in our favorite stashes. Winter-loving mountain towns thrive this time of year, especially here in the West where it's pretty much guaranteed to be either storming or sunny. It's hard to argue with... Continue reading
