The thought of a first big girl party with tiaras and British accents just warms my heart. Thanks for the smile.
princess of quite a lot
She was invited to her first big girl birthday party, a princess party at that, and was oh so very pleased. I love her hair all damp with the heat and curls falling but the tiara, the tiara is still in place.
Happy birthday to our dear, beautiful friend. I will offer my holy hour today for her intentions. I pray that her day is blessed to overflowing and that her body grants her the freedom of pain she needs to soak it all up. For healing, for joy, for peace. And the deep knowledge that she is very, very loved.

Digging in to Dig Out
After I posted a little bit about my struggle with dryness in prayer and learning to be lonely, a few people asked me what the remedy was to such dryness. The truth is, that is a tough question to answer... Continue reading

The Fast of Loneliness and the Feast of Friendship
In the past few weeks, our lives have slowed from the busy pace of late spring with its baseball and work schedules and the final push of the school routine. Things are slower around here. And I am working my... Continue reading

In the Seasonal Basket: Spring
I have been trying to be a little more focused lately on getting the full value of our library system and filling book baskets with new topics regularly. We've been really loving our nature and art learning trails and thanks to Jessica, our Easter book basket was full to the brim this month...
Dawn, Here's the funny thing about those wine glasses...they're plastic! My kids have broken so many wine glasses over the years that I stopped buying them until I found those at Target.
At the Good Shepherd's Breakfast Table
Last week, as I looked over the list for the Garden Party for week two of Easter, first and foremost on my mind was how to adapt things so there would be less sugar pulsing through my little guys veins. This spring air has left them friskier than normal, the feasting has added the sugar dim...

Soul Sisters
I spent some time in my rose garden yesterday afternoon, tearing away a year's worth of overgrowth and revealing the hint of gorgeous color still encased in green buds. I draped tendril up lattice and guided their climbing. I pulled... Continue reading

Nature and Art: The Glory of Spring
With Spring full upon us here and the knowledge that in a few short weeks we will begin to complain about the heat, I am trying very hard to immerse us in as much nature study and outdoor time as possible. Last month, inspiration struck and I decided on a whim to create a display about bir...
