Beautiful, isn’t it? Not the photo, though not a bad shot, but the branch in all it’s loveliness? Well, this is it today. It touches the ground because my favorite tree, my favorite branch even, has been broken. I don’t even think I need to give you 3 guesses as to who broke it. But…… Continue Reading

OM :: The Fall
I’ve always lived in a place that had the change of seasons. At my ripe old age, I don’t think I could live anywhere that didn’t have four distinct changes to the year. Fall feels like a renewal to me. Not in the same way spring does with all it’s nervous pent-up winter energy waiting…… Continue Reading
OM :: The Summer Camp Boy
It’s the last day of summer camp for both my boys today and I’m just a bit wistful. My 7, soon to be 8, year-old thrives at camp. He comes home happy (and dirty) every night, excited to tell us all of the happenings for the day. He has always had a certain charm about…… Continue Reading
OM :: The Practicality of a Dream
How do craft a dream into practicality? There are so many different components to achieving a dream that it may seem insurmountable. But, if you break those components down into manageable tasks, you can make those steps toward your goal. This week, I was pushed (in a good way) toward one of my dreams. I…… Continue Reading

Most everyone says that their family is crazy or that…… Continue Reading

Three adult males and two little boys all living in the same space with me. I’ve mentioned that as a…… Continue Reading
OM :: The Trip Flip
On this last day before our family vacation, I’m excited to have jiggered my brain into actually taking the vacation. As a family, we travel to Colorado twice a year to see my father-in-law. He lives just outside of Denver in the foothills and it is a beautiful place to visit. We’ve been travelling there…… Continue Reading
OM :: The Frog
Meet Speckles. A creation from Abe, my 7-year-old. Abe loves to draw. It’s the one thing that can hold his attention just as long as reading. And almost as long as TV watching or video game playing. My moment came when Abe said during breakfast clean-up one morning that he’d like to be a card…… Continue Reading
OM :: The Dutiful Daughter
I’m weary. To the bone. Which makes me grumpy. And it’s starting to affect everything around me. I’ve been taking care of two homes: my own and my parents’. I clean and shop and run errands for both. And it’s taking a toll. I’m really not complaining – it’s more like wishing for time I…… Continue Reading
