Play time

My pal Katie and I took our girls to the park yesterday. What an amazing November day! I keep thinking this is the last nice week, let's make the most out of it. And then...the next week is amazing too and I think the same thing! Well, in the end, we have had a whole season of gorgeous weather and we have made the most out of each week.
Katie and Phoebe were nice enough to bring lunch over AND a dozen eggs fresh from their coop....Delicious!! We had yummy farm fresh omelets this morning and were so thankful for friends who share.Although there is a year age difference between the girls, Lucy is hot on Phoebe's tail and it won't be long until she is keeping up.
I am loving that the women I am really connecting with have daughters around Lucy's age. Surely reinforces my belief that the right people will show up in your life at the right time if you remain open. I think openness is the key. That is something I am always trying to remember. Be open to receive the love, light and gifts this life has to offer. That nothing is stagnant, everything is always changing, I just have to remain open to the possibilities.
We have had a rough couple of weeks here with colds, busyness, and my mood (which I am blaming whole heartedly on my hormones!!!) I feel like I have been slowly closing myself off, disconnecting in a way, but yesterday in the sun and fresh air and with such good company, I was able to shrug off that yuck and open up again.
I mean, c'mon on, look at that smile!

Have a great weekend, y'all. Peace.

Dr. Seuss Party, Part 1 Decor and Food

I have to say,  Bruce and I totally knocked ourselves out to throw Lucy the best Dr. Seuss 4th birthday party that we could and I am pretty proud of the results!  It was a wonderful day for her and hopefully for all her friends that came. Our kids have LOVED the story The Lorax for a while now and were so excited to go see the movie.  Bruce had a brilliant idea to make his own truffula trees .  With some PVC pipe and spray paint he put these together.  I made the tops out of tissue paper (tutorials widely available).  Of course, once I got started on them, I just had to make some extras to hang around the dining room.  I used the extra paper to make a super colorful one for the front porch.  These were so easy and cheap to make, I highly recommend them as party decorations for all different types of themes!   I printed out some of my favorite Dr. Seuss quotes and gussied them up with some fancy paper cutters (Thanks, ...

I can't believe we've arrived here...I can't believe I am old enough to have a 20 year old son!  He is a full grown adult and absolutely living life his own way, on his own terms and doing it quite well.  Griffin is living in a small town in Germany with his girlfriend and 2 cats.  He is currently in a nursing program that also allows him to work in their local hospital (his school/work life is completely in German!)  He's been able to spend some time traveling around Germany, exploring his community, and forming lovely connections with his girlfriend's family.  While we miss him so very much, we are so proud of him and the way he is making it happen.  And of course, hoping for a visit very soon!  Happy Birthday, Griffin.  We love you!

Griffin is 19.

My heart is all jumbled up on this big day.  Last July, Griffin moved to Muhlhausen; Germany to attend university and live with his love, Alicia.     He has regaled us with stories of exploring Berlin, using the train system on his one hour/each way commute every day to school,  embracing the traditions and holidays of his new community,  learning to live independently and all the responsibilities it entails and perhaps the biggest challenge of all...becoming fluent in German.   I am so proud of him.  This is what we raised him for, to be independent, to have big dreams, to work hard to make your goals a reality.  I am stunned by his bravery, joyful at his quest for adventure and impressed by his commitment.  And today, like most everyday, I carry a deep ache to hug my son, to go to bed and know he is tucked in safely just a few feet away, to make him a birthday fruit pizza and snap pictures when he blows out the candles.  I wi...
