15 May This is definitely one of my pet peeves!
We all have them. In some ways I hesitate to mention this, because I know I'm opening myself up to language experts who may find some flaws in my grammar or spelling. I am not above improving myself. You are now given permission to correct...
06 May Article on Madeleine L’Engle
I just found this article on Madeleine L'Engle, by her close friend Luci Shaw. I wish I could convey how her work--and her life--inspires me. I've been feeling kind of dry, as though I need a break-through with writing. And reading about Madeleine reminds me...
26 Apr Every baby is a miracle–but especially this one!
I meant to write about this in yesterday's post, but forgot after my struggle with video uploading! A while ago, I wrote about my friend Susan, who was 24 weeks pregnant when the doctors discovered that she'd had a small placental abruption at 13 weeks....

15 Feb Bunches
A few weeks ago, I finally succeeded in getting Camilla to sit still long enough to put her hair in "bunches". That's right, bunches. According to Wikipedia,"Bunches (also called angel wings) describe a hairstyle in which the hairis parted down the middle and gathered into...
05 Feb Lenten Non-fast
I want to take this post to mention my plans for Lent and to encourage you to join me if you so desire. I've tried giving things up in the past--tv mostly. But I find it hard to replace the sacrificed object or food with...
