Slow and Steady...

Reflecting on resolutions made and plans laid for changes in the New Year, the not-so-little voice in my head keeps saying "Slow and Stead".

Breaking from life's whirlwind ~ time for grounding.
Making time to live in the moment.

New Years Resolutions

With the start of a new year we are looking forward to new opportunities along with a few resolutions.

Living a more restful, healthy lifestyle through those changes we have talked about: eco friendly household, whole foods maybe even a chicken coop in our back yard...

But most of all making time to live within the moment.

Here's to a Happy, Healthy and Peaceful New Year!

PEACE

"...let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me..."

Wonder-Filled

Let the light from within shine brightly!

We made the Annual Toy Review!!!

I read my first issue of Mothering Magazine before my little bundle was born. A friend who would become my LLL co-leader had several on hand. After this encounter I too became a subscriber / collector and nearly nine years later I still cherish my collection of magazines.


With the sound of our GPS navigator echoing in my mind
"you have arrived" - we are so excited and proud to announce that our toy is included in the "Best Natural Toys of 2010"!!!

Our Wee Dump Truck made Mothering Magazine's -
Annual Toy Review.

Pumpkins

...the tingle that can be felt all around, that playful buzz of excitement, becomes an urgent yearning for Autumn's arrival!!!



The decadent sights of Mother Nature's beauty.
Cool mornings spent indulging our love of fresh air.
A bountiful harvest of delicious fruits and vegetables and the myriad of ways we prepare them to feast upon ~ not least of which, my most favorite ~ pumpkin pie.

Just the mere sight of pumpkins renders this mama giddy with anticipation of things to come.

Changes

As summer widens down and the seasons slowly shift our lives are evolving at a rapid pace.

Our home-schooled daughter is now a uniform wearing 3rd grader with an incredible love for school and her teacher in particular. This time has been especially trying for me as in honoring her request to go to school I have had to quite down the very boisterous voice inside crying no!
Our parenting choices are formed for numerous reasons and as our children grow they shape those choices with their individual needs.

"Change is good ~ We grow with change ~ Change opens new doors"

Today is the day I declare that I will embrace the changes as they unfold. Changes in mothering two young children, changes as a right of passage, adventures to experience as good things are sure to come.
