Keeping Perspective
The line I’ve heard that describes parenting the best is “The days are long but the years are short”. Today as our family took a digital walk through our past by stumbling across some old photos on the computer, it was especially relevant. My days with the kids are very full things.

It’s not a mess, it’s a life learning lab
My home is a full, busy place. In a one and a half storey home, we have two adults, three children, one dog and one cat. As homeschoolers we spend a lot of time at home, and as a mom who tries to make our foods from scratch I create a lot of dirty dishes. [...]
Starting off the year

The many faces of the Lil
What happens when you let an almost-4-year-old play with your camera? First, you get lots of pictures. Lots of blurry close-ups, many of which are hard to identify. Secondly, you get self-portraits.

Snapshots
Kelly and Lorry came by today for a visit and to drop off a camera. Lorry saw my Facebook status about my still-missing camera and generously offered us an extra one they had at home. As a scrapbooker and a sappy mom, not being able to take pictures for around 3 weeks of Olivia’s 6 [...]
