Recently I've been thinking a lot about what kind of a role model I am for my girls. What I want them to see from me...and what kind of an example I am setting for them. Grace, especially, is old enough that she watches what I do, values what I value, and currently is my little shadow. I love her so much and want her to always be as wonderful as she is right now...without her becoming tainted by my inadequacies. And so reflecting on the mother and women I ought to be is something I find ... View the Post
A Halloween Quilt.
A month or two ago I decided to clean out the fabric scrap bins (yes, it is embarrassingly bins). So, I went through all of them and started sorting them by color. I threw away small pieces (I know some of you are cringing right now), gave away two grocery sack of others...and then got down to one bin of my own! Major improvement. And when I was done the oranges and grey scrap piles ended up next to each other...which made me think it was time to cut them up into a Halloween quilt. Which ... View the Post

And the three-year old....well, he is use to staying home with mom all day and hearing just us talk and the whirl of things like his mom's sewing machine. So, when all the general chaos was going on and he ... View the Post

Marathons and Monsters
A little more than 2 years ago I had baby Ruth.Along with my sweet baby came some very unexpected complications.Complications that took me over a year and hours worth of physical therapy to overcome. Prior to my pregnancy with Ruth I had been involved in running quite a few races with my siblings but after the delivery I could barely stand up-right and running again seemed to no longer be an option. But I was lucky...and about a year ago I was able to start running again.(And because I'm a big ... View the Post
