Have you ever thought back to a moment, maybe recently, maybe a long time ago, and grimaced at yourself. Maybe it was the attitude you had. Perhaps your words were harsh or cruel or manipulative. Maybe it was everything about the situation: bad reaction, your face was loud and obnoxious. Perhaps it just highlights theContinue reading “The past”

It’s Snowing!
My boys are thrilled this morning! It is snowing for the first time this fall. And it came down beautifully. There are big puffy white flakes tumbling from the sky in record numbers. They couldn’t hardly wait to get dressed and get outside. It was a little bit of a struggle to get them out. Continue reading “It’s Snowing!”
There is nothing new under the sun
It has been happening again. Church, off and on again, most of the time without him. It breaks my heart. This morning I felt so defeated, discouraged and grieved.

My dear, Happy Father’s Day! Enjoy your new bottle of hot sauce to try. Enjoy the card I had the boys color on. I hope you feel loved and respected. I want you to know that I see you. I see all you do. I see the commitment to work and provide for us. WhileContinue reading “A letter to my husband on Father’s Day”
Food Experiments: Milk Tea
One of my favorite things about growing up in a climate with four seasons is the winter. Where I grew up the snow started falling in November and December. It came and it stayed. The snowfall after snowfall piled up so that, at times, my legs were buried past my knees as I tried toContinue reading “Food Experiments: Milk Tea”
