To whom it may concern…
January 20, 2010One of the many reasons I love homeschooling my people.
January 19, 2010This face sitting at my table.
And that’s just one.
Sometimes people tell me that they could never homeschool their children but since I have never even had my kids attend preschool I have nothing to compare it to. It is simply what we do and all that we know. It affords us a level of freedom that we could not have otherwise and cultivates some real and amazing relationships between all of us.
And also, I have 3 other faces like this one to look at all day. Yum!
Why is winter always the bastard child?
January 11, 2010Poor winter.
Everyone moans & complains about winter…the cold…the snow…the cabin fever! Once Christmas is over, winter is wished away & the calls for spring start. I think the reason winter gets such a bad rap is that it impeeds the quick pace of life.
The elements of winter force us inside. Our systems slow down. We want to sleep more, eat more & generally be more lazy than when the sun is shining & our skin is soaking up the warm air of summer. Sometimes it even snows & then we are all trapped inside with our newly purchased eggs, bread and milk. Everyone moans even louder then…
But why? Winter is a reminder. A little whisper in our ear telling us to sit still for awhile & just do nothing. Enjoy each others company & bust out the Monopoly. The art of being still seems lost to most of us these days. Why not reclaim it? Make some potato leek soup & chill. Summer will be here soon enough & then we will all be moaning about the heat.
One way to enjoy a snow day is to steal your sisters ipod touch & play endless rounds of Rat on the Run with your dad. Henry gives it 2 thumbs up!
I take this blog in sickness and in health…
January 6, 2010Sometime during the fall I stopped blogging because my blog broke.
How a blog breaks it beyond my comprehension but apparently there was a virus in my files somewhere & so nothing was working as it should. 2 helpful & smartie panted gals I know did a reinstall for me but for now, they cannot import my old posts. It leaves me feeling a little sad at the thought of losing 3 years of writing but also wondering if maybe a clean slate is not just the thing I needed.
2009 was one of the strangest years ever. Ironic and oppositional on every level. Both the happiest & the saddest. The most exhilarating & the most exhausting. I learned a lot & yet was left with more questions than ever. Yes indeed, a fresh start & some clarity are just what the doctor ordered!
The thing I realized most when my blog was busted is that I actually missed writing. I missed sharing photos & thoughts & words. So in 2010, I plan to get back at it. I have some cool new places to shoot this year, some plans to travel for work & of course, my 4 kiddos who I don’t photograph nearly enough. Lots to share & hopefully one or two people still left reading to share it with! Plus, it will be much easier to keep my resoultion to blog than it will be to keep my resolution to lose weight. We all want to feel like winners, right?
I shall leave you with photo that reminds us all that no matter how hard you fall to the ground, look up at the sky & smile.
