May

It’s a sunny spring morning in Brambly Hedge! 


 May days.

It’s the end of May, but just the beginning of a lot of things.

The days go by fast, but they are so very well spent soaking in all the sweetness that spring gifts to us. 

The lilacs and phlox have came and gone. Veggies are now bursting from vines and the soil. Fair skin turns to sun kissed skin and freckles. Outdoor silence turns into the soundtrack of summer with laughter and screams from barefoot children. 

We’ve been celebrating birthdays, end of April brother in law’s wedding, Mother’s Day,  picking flowers, cheering our favorite little athletes on, watching our favorite people perform on stage, Memorial Day first boat ride and cook out and we finished up school! 

While life is mostly good, there is always the frustration in the things you cannot change that bury themselves deep inside of you until you’re ready to take a deep breath, decide it’s really not your problem, you cannot control other people’s behavior, exhale and let go and move on from it. Somethings are not worth leaving a hole in your heart and stealing your happiness.

Good thing there are so many more blessings than not. More good days than bad. More sunshine and porch sitting. More love than lost and much more laughter than tears. And so so so much to look forward to in this life!

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...
