I went to Simon’s school today to read with his classmates and then stayed through recess to eat lunch with him too. Simon and his friends played a game, and as far as I could tell the rules go something like this: you’re either a gorilla or a lava princess, or sometimes there’s a lava […]

I bought a package of one hundred basket coffee filters, and it might be the best 87 cents I’ve spent in a while. Suddenly my world is full of snowflakes — snowflakes during Clara’s naptime, snowflakes after school, snowflakes taped to the windows, snowflake crumbs to sweep off the ground. I’m loving how excited the […]

Today’s picture was snapped by Ian. He picked up my camera and spent a long time peering through the lens, lining up just the shots he wanted. It was a joy to watch him. After he took this one, he reviewed it on the screen and whispered, “Oooh, that’s good.” I don’t think I could […]

My friend’s sweet daughter remembering to thank God for this egg prepared by her mama. Her prayer was completely unprompted and, as far as she knew, unseen. We couldn’t hear the words she whispered, but she was so sincere — a quiet moment, a holy moment. This time of year, even more than usual, my […]

Whatever else happens today, this is a moment I want to remember. Early morning (well, not super early but first thing) in the dark and quiet kitchen, Clara wanted to me to read to her. I had to put together a quiche for a brunch, so she settled for sitting on the counter and reading […]

This post is a day late (taken yesterday, though) because I was enjoying myself immensely at Jason’s company Christmas party and didn’t get around to it last night. Also, I am releasing myself from the challenge I set for myself to write something every day. DPP? Totally fun. Writing whether or not I have time […]

The boys will be making their film debut as part of Redeemer’s Christmas program this year. I can tell just from the bit that I saw that the production value will be high and the cute factor will be heart-melting, knee-buckling, and definitely shard-producing. I so love being part of a community that values creativity, […]
