The Spirit of Christmas
Saturday was the feast of St. Nicholas. My Daughter woke to find her shoes filled with clementines and chocolate truffles with pretty wrapping and of course she was delighted. When else does a child get a treat for not putting away their shoes at night? She positively floated to our room that morning, I am…

Sacred Store
These moments of yours are sacred each and every one a precious piece of all that is you. Happy, sad, singing, yelling, laughing, fighting – all part of all that you are and all that you are yet to be. You move much too fast for me, fighting to grow. I can hardly savor…

Winter Drab
Nearly all of the trees were bare now. Just days ago, the world was alive with the vibrant hues of mid-Autumn. The sun set every branch aflame with its golden touch and the red, orange, yellow exploded everywhere.

The Open Door
I have tried for days to write this post. I have wanted to write this post for months. I practiced it in my head. OK, I had one line down, but still. This should not have been the post that I struggled to write. It kind of bothers me because rarely, if ever, do I…

TToT – Summer Break Week One
I feel like I should have a whole lot more to list here this week and somehow I’m struggling to remember what to add. I’m also struggling with a good title and so please notice the lame one I’ve settled for. Since I’ve already missed half the weekend, I guess I’ll just go with what…

Summer Sundays
It’s amazing how one thing – a scent, a sound – can transport you back in time to a memory you didn’t even know you had… Sunday’s weather was glorious – warm, but not too hot. The sky was blue and filled with puffy white clouds – the kind that look like beautifully huge cotton…

The Tale of the Three Rotten Cats and the Very Bad Mask (or How to Scare a Rotten Cat)
This is my long-promised Rotten Cat story. Before we begin, please be assured that none of us makes a habit of intentionally scaring the Rotten Cats. This incident happened quite by accident. And while it is indeed unfortunate that the poor Rotten Boys were frightened, the result was pretty hysterical. This is a Rotten Cat. Cat…
