So it was interesting to see what happened this last week- I didn't have a plan and never got to the grocery store- so what happened? We totally reverted... So not really that interesting- more like predictable. This week I have a plan- not a solid 'this day we eat this and this day we… Continue reading Healthy Eating part 2b
In church I brought some quite toys for my children to play with. Little girl decided that every time she did anything with the toy she needed to throw her hands in the air and shout 'YAY I DID IT!'

I hope that next month I can get this blogging thing down better- and hopefully I can make the quality of the entries go up... instead of the rapid decline they have been in.

The problem:we drastically underestimated how much of… Continue reading Healthy Eating part 2a
I have the hardest time with titles. As in I myself have a hard time putting titles on things; be it paintings, drawings, blog posts, poems, short stories... well you get the gist. This has always been the case for me. I was always able to write great papers for all of my English classes… Continue reading Titles Titles Titles….
I sat down to write tonight and decided since it ended up being yet ANOTHER day that I haven't had a second to think/breath that I'd share a 30 minute drawing that I did. Actually at first I was going to share a few of my sketches- but then as I flipped through the book… Continue reading A piece of my sketchbook
