A Baby Quilt from Great Grandma Three years ago my family went on a magical vacation...a really really magical vacation...with my parents, my siblings, and their families. We spent some time on the Yucatan Peninsula touring through a list of the most fascinating ancient structures, seriously incredible cenotes, and some unique and colorful small towns. I have so many wonderful memories from this trip...biking through a rainforest, climbing temple steps, swimming in dark underground ... View the Post
Beneath the Emptiness
Beneath the Emptiness The night before last I was driving to a Board of Directors Meeting, listening to a book, when I heard D. Shefali Tsabary say, “Just beneath emptiness is the vast expanse of their spirit.” Just beneath the emptiness.... As I heard this I felt empty. Hollowed out actually. And so very, very tired. As I said, I was on my way to a meeting...what I didn't say was that I was driving my husbands truck, because my car is in the shop after dying in the ... View the Post
The Art of Homemaking: This is the Greatest Show

As this vacation was approaching we talked about all the things we wanted to do on this ... View the Post
Easter Egg Hunt Printables
Easter Egg Printables Today we have a quick and easy last minute Easter Egg Hunt idea for you. Recently I have noticed that what my own kids want (and even what my students in my classroom want) is more one on one time and attention. And so while I love Easter candy (those tiny Cadbury chocolate eggs....they are MY FAVORITE) this year we are putting something in our Easter Eggs besides candy. We are adding printed coupons to the mix. Earlier this week I typed up some printable ... View the Post
Personal Restoration, Renovation, and Conservation: A Project
Personal Restoration, Renovation, and Conservation: A Project I think it's fair to say that these past few years have changed the world. I know they have changed me. Slowly, and at times imperceptibly, these changes have crept in and it wasn't until recently that I realized the extent of these changes. Now, I would love to say that all of these changes have been positive...that I've become a better, stronger, more positive person...but that simply isn't true. I will spare you ... View the Post
