Learning to Live Life with a Full Heart

Christmas 2014

January 2, 2015

Tree

We did Christmas late this year. In recent Christmas’ we have opened presents without Noah and Nora on Christmas day and then let them open their gifts when they got home. That kinda sucks all around, so we waited this year. It was Patrick’s turn to have them for Christmas day, so they returned home the day after and we ended up celebrating on Saturday. We hadn’t done it that way yet and I have to say I enjoyed it the most. Probably because my mom, aunt and uncle were there as well.

Four squareAfter eating Christmas lunch we set up foursquare downstairs. My family loves to play those types of games on holidays and I love it! We are super competitive and Noah and Nora got “schooled” in the art of foursquare, for sure. :) They enjoyed it though.

My aunt and uncle have taken up jump rope for cardio. They got all of the kids jump ropes for Christmas and demonstrated their skills for them. It was neat to see their tricks and quite impressive.

Hey, you.

Hey, you.

I'm a mom of four in a step family, co-parenting (sorta) with the ex and wandering through life pondering the big stuff, little stuff and everything in between.

What to expect…

This is a place for me to ponder out loud those things that are still screaming in my head and have gotten passed the journal and my hubby. As well as document milestones along our family journey.

I hope things read here find a connection with you.

I tend to talk about yoga, friendship, chickens, puppies, my kids, trips we take, decisions we make, school and the occasional rant (though I try to delete those before I hit “publish”).

Love is a Place

love is a place
& through this place of
love move
(with brightness of peace)
all places

yes is a world
& in this world of
yes live
(skilfully curled)
all worlds

-ee cummings
