Peace on Earth (Starts with Peace at Home)
December 16, 2011
Do you feel it? The slowing of days. Last year was a wonderful December. The year before that was pretty relaxed also, having determined early on that I would let go of perfection - in handmades, in decorating, in pulling "it all" off. But this year takes the cake. If ...
My Season of Joy?
December 12, 2011
I am filled with so much gratitude - for everything. This move, our life, the chalet, my family, my work (as mother, writer, homeschooler, etc..), community, the glory of nature, the snow, this blog, skiing with our children, the coming new year, my new socks, this Christmas season. I think ...
