Friends, I planned to share a reading update two Fridays ago but I don't know what I was thinking. Colton was on school vacation that week, Matthew was on his vacation last week and this month is full of doctors and dentists for everyone. May has been wacky and isn't going to get any easier,...

Welcome Dawsey!
I am delighted to introduce you to Dawsey! We drove north two hours to pick him up yesterday and he has been wonderful. My first night with him went more smoothly than expected and I'm optimistic about tonight. I'm nervous about going outside in the middle of the night this time of year because I... Continue Reading →
A Beautiful Week in April!
Thank you all for your encouraging and kind comments last week! It was so nice to connect with all of you and I've enjoyed the back and forth I've had with many of you throughout the week. I am still catching up on emails -- you all are just so amazing. I'm in awe of... Continue Reading →
Hello!
Well, hello there! I apologize for my sudden absence. It came as a result of considering how I spend my time and what makes sense for me. I don't think I'll be posting three days a week here anymore, but I'm constantly reminded how important my blogging connections are. So I'm planning to check in... Continue Reading →
Friday Joy
Friends -- it is Friday! And the Friday before February Vacation for the schools here in New Hampshire. Colton got sent home from school with a fever yesterday (no fever or symptoms today) so his vacation got started about a day and a half early since they require students to be fever free for 24...

The latest news is that Matthew was able to come home with a new (to us) vehicle yesterday so we have two... Continue Reading →
On Never Reaching the Trouble-Free Phase
Happy Friday, friends! The wind is blowing hard outside right now as we prepare for another round of storms this weekend. But the sky is bright blue and we're about to head out for a trip to Sam's Club despite the wind and I wanted to check in before I sign off for the weekend.... Continue Reading →
Unraveled Wednesday | Week 7 of 2025
Hello! I am a little late today and am behind in all sorts of ways. Thank you for all of the well wishes last week. I am finally starting to feel more like myself this morning and am hoping to find my rhythm again, which is why I'm trying to make sure I don't fall... Continue Reading →
A Cozy Friday?
Happy Friday! I'm in the basement trying to write this before the kids wake up. Through the monitor (or "mom-itor" as Bryce used to call it), I can hear coughing and the beginnings of stirrings so I'm going to be quick! We had a snowstorm hit mid-morning yesterday that lasted through the afternoon, so Colton's... Continue Reading →
Unraveled Wednesday | Week 6 of 2025
Hello! Thank you for all of the well wishes on Monday. I'm still feeling pretty rotten and am hoping to get a little extra time in bed later today. I develop intense coughing anytime I get sick (no need to gross you out with those details), which makes sleep and rest difficult. So any attempt... Continue Reading →
