Magic Is Everywhere

Hello readers and friends! I had a bit of a walk earlier, and after that I was milling around in my backyard when a couple of things popped out to me. You know, it says in my bio that I’m always searching for the magic in our world, but the truth is that I stopped […]

Moving My Office & Finding Things

Moving My Office & Finding Things

I’m moving my office to one end of our formal living room so that our kids, now 7 and 9, can have their own bedrooms. We moved into this house in 2016, but I didn’t really sort out my books because we put them in storage early. Then we took our time updating the house […]

And all four of our birthdays are in this zone, too. I’ve had to learn energy management for this season over the last bunch of […]
