Easter 2020


Easter this year will be different.
No gatherings outside of immediate family that live in our home.
No church in progress.

This year we are still celebrating our savior's empty tomb, but we celebrate a little more quieter.
With full tummies and longing hearts.

This year things like eggs, are scarce and we are learning to make do with everything we already have or what we can find-because a trip to the grocery store is just a nightmare.

We picked wild daffodils from a meadow and made our own bouquet since we couldn’t go anywhere to buy beautiful Easter flowers. We love the smell of hyacinths, but daffodils have been a great substitute. To our surprise we found a hyacinth growing in the front yard this morning!!

We woke up to the excitement of beach pails left on the kitchen table full of candy and little mouths begging to eat some chocolate. Dad and I hid eggs and watched as the kids found, and needed help finding them all. The smell of bacon and cinnamon buns is filling up the house and the sun is shining brightly through every window. 

In this time of quarantine may you find some rebirth and regrowth. May we take this and all it’s ugly and be reborn with the new. May we be awaken with the spring time when it is our time to re-emerge into the world. May we bloom like a flower reaching toward the sun. This is our new beginning and the rebirth of our soul. May you not take life for granted. May you slow down and enjoy this quiet time we have. We will rise again when our time comes and be embraced by the arms of our loved ones.

Happy Easter!!

The Strength In Our Scars

Mental Health. Depression.  Anxiety.  I know I missed "Mental Health Day", but this is something that needs to be talked about more than just one day in October. This is something that needs awareness and education everyday. More than "40 seconds of action". Come on! I wanted to share this even more when recently I found out a beautiful young girl I know is suicidal. She reached out. She got help and her courage inspires me. What I would do to hold her tight and take her pain away. So let’s talk about it for a second. This has been sitting on my chest and weighing me down for far to long. Something no one likes to talk about. We ALL have mental health. We all have highs and we all have lows, some lower than others. It's something that needs to be normalized. The way a cold is simply just that, normal, everyone gets a cold. This is a far too sensitive subject. You have a cold? You take medicine. You have cancer? You get treatment. You break ...

Hello!

It’s been such a long time since I blogged. Since I wrote about what’s on my heart. So much has changed, yet so much has simply stayed the same.  I started writing this post last August 2024 - over a year ago now! But I obviously didn't get very far. Always drinking in the last drop of golden summer sun and air, enjoying all my kids home, distracted by life. A beautiful beautiful life! So here I am now, trying to get one post in before the year turns over to a new one again! We are 3 days away from Christmas, so we’ve been busy with the hustle and bustle. 2025 has been a good year.  Last August (2024) when I started this post-, I was probably dreaming of a baby to hold in my arms, as I have for many years before- well after many negative pregnant tests -February 2026 that dream will come true!! We are adding to the clan! So here I am in the third trimester. I really wanted to enjoy this pregnancy because it will definitely, most likely be my very last. It’s been a tough pregna...

Spring ahead

                                           While I’m out and down with a spell of something that I’m hoping isn’t bronchitis or lead to pneumonia- negative for the flu, COVID and RSV at least, I figured I’d come try and write a little. I’ve been so weak and tired and out of sorts. I’ve read two books this week and started my third.  As spring turns over to summer. The temperatures rise. The rain falls. The grass grows tall. The bugs crawl from their hiding places. The people emerge from their homes, ready to fling open the windows and take in the spring breeze to cleanse the winter blues and dust from their homes. The kids are shooed outside to soak up the fresh air and sunshine. The radio plays our favorite songs. There’s the unmistakable sound of the hose being turned on. Shoes are abandoned in a chaotic pile near the front door and long forgotten. Barefoot running throug...
