Wishing you a peaceful weekend and welcome to Favorite Things #4 , where I share what’s percolating in the remaining gray cells. Today just happens to be my firstborn’s birthday. So happy, happy birthday Jonathan! The big 2-0 is just that… BIG! Remembering that poignant moment so long ago when I first saw that precious…
Newsflash from My Little Snow Globe
Hey friends – happy Monday to you! Hope you’re doing well. I haven’t written a weekend post or update in a while, so thought I’d catch you up with a newsflash from my little Snow Globe about what’s going on behind the scenes at our house. (Besides delicious test batches of Salted Caramel Sauce.) Hope you’ll…
This Way to Holland
I’m going to be honest right from the get go today. This Way to Holland was a hard post to write because it’s about Hudson’s birth story. And every time I go there, even five years down the road, I find my heart still raw. A lump in my throat. Misty eyes. That’s me right…
Yay Ub
Hello my friends, wishing you a very happy autumn weekend! So I haven’t shared much about Hudson here for a while now and I’ve got a few things on my mind. (Hudson’s our little boy. He’s 6, cute as a button, mostly non-verbal and has Down syndrome.) Our littlest soccer fan Hud – 2014 (Photo…
Soft Spring Rain
As I type, we’re on a road trip. Heading home after dropping our son at college in the south. First time for everything. I’ll fill you in more on that later. The air’s been soupy, hot and muggy this week and I’ve found myself wishing for a soft spring rain. A soft summer rain would be fine too….
They Didn’t Know
If you’re new around here, you might not know that our littlest boy Hudson was born with a surprise diagnosis of Down syndrome in 2010. (Catch up on his birth story here: Can’t Buy This) We were told a lot of information, machine-gun-style in the hospital following Hudson’s birth: mostly what he couldn’t or wouldn’t be…
Hudson & the Little Yellow School Bus
Something sweet happened today. Very sweet. I know I told you I pressed the pause button on my weekend musings this summer, but I’ll just tell you. Real quick. So today (Thursday) is my Hudson’s last day of school. (Hudson is six years old, youngest of four boys, has Down syndrome.) The truth is, I didn’t…
Licking Coconut Pops All Day Long
It’s not like there’s anything wrong with sitting around and Licking Coconut Pops All Day Long. It’s not even against the law. And good thing too. Because that’s what I did all day today. (Wednesday) And they were delicious! Here it is the last week of May, just before Memorial Day weekend and I’ve got…
Just to Make You Smile
Got some stories today. Just to Make You Smile. It was one of those crazy mornings a few weeks ago here. (I’m sure you don’t have those at your house.) There was no school because it was MLK Day, so we’d scheduled back to back dentist appointments for the boys. They weren’t exactly thrilled about it…
Off Beat Musical Chairs
Today I want to tell you about a crazy new game Hudson devised: Off Beat Musical Chairs. But first, it’s been a little bit of a crazy time at our house recently with all the busyness of Thanksgiving and Christmas. Then one of the kids ordered basketball shoes on the web. The highly anticipated shoes…
