Today, I needed to remember to put my mask on first so I took my son to my happy place. There I've spent much time walking, staring at layer upon layer of lush trees, listening to music... And feeling peace. Today I needed peace. And I got it.

One of the greatest joys of being a mother
is growing and showing and teaching love. Captured from the baby monitor, my daughter heard my son's early morning coos, saw that we were still asleep and went in to cuddle him. Happy Mother's Day, indeed. (p.s. Yes, she's in a tutu)
Threadbare
Tonight, as I toweled myself off after my shower, this old post popped into my head. As I looked in the mirror I saw tired eyes, hair that has not been washed since Monday morning (which is a new record, even for me. And no, Twin, it doesn't even look dirty) and I thought to myself, threadbare. The real ...
My peeps.
Just yesterday I talked about my amazing acts of loving kindness. But I have to tell you, since I first shared my story about Postpartum Depression, I have been overwhelmed by thoughtful cards, notes, messages, gifts, offers and more.

I write this post from a chair in my parents' living room, in my dad's XL sweatshirt, reeling. Tears are starting to form in my eyes. Like a flood. *** This week we had historic rains. When we ...
Yes.
Today was another full day of soaking rain. After I picked up my daughter at 1 we kept busy drawing in the sunroom, building with Magnetic tiles from loving "aunts" and making a run to the drive-through for some donuts; Vanilla with rainbow sprinkles. But as four o'clock set in, and the rain continued to pelt mercilessly on our roof ...
“Paint the Rain”, a snapshot .
One category that I have not written much in as of late is Teacher Mama. That is because for this academic year my primary job is working in the home. I will resume teaching in June, and I am so excited to do so, but I do miss my kids and the special moments that they provide. Today, ...
Lindsay Docherty Photography
I've written and raved before about the magic and beauty and romance that is Lindsay Docherty Photography. Here is the final installment of my journey with Lindsay. Let me be clear in saying this: This is not a sponsored post. These photos are not c/o her business. I am writing about the phenomenal Lindsay Docherty because she ...
