these days are starting to settle into their own funny rythym. somehow a clean kitchen (and sunshine) make checking off the daily list easier. maybe their growing maturity, too.

Sometimes I feel like I'm getting good at juggling all those Mother jobs, sometimes it seems too complicated to keep them up in the air...

I knew having a second child would multiply my joy. But here we are, four months later, and I had no idea it could be so sweet.

said yes to a trip to the library after school to stock up on books. so thankful that we can check out as many as we would like.

If I think too much about what needs to be done between now and the weekend I think I might just freeze up and do nothing.

i walked through the door to a mixture of piano playing and ad alta voce singing of the dreidel song and charlie wagging his way through the chaos. home.

Reminding myself of the mothering wisdom I read last week..."Don't strive for perfect days; strive for perfect moments". Today's perfect moment: reading Richard Scarry books on her bedroom floor.

I second guessed my winter beehive ventilation strategy most of the day. Then I made a costly mistake that is just eating at my frugal heart.

I sat and avoided some work that I needed to do. But what I did instead was much more comforting to me.

After a weekend spent feeding them Annie's cheese crackers in subway stations, it was soul-satisfying to be at home, kneading bread and stirring soup and pureeing pumpkins.

i decided to stop resisting what felt overwhelming and embrace it instead. it's amazing what a difference a change in perspective will make.

Sometimes it's the taking care of the little things that makes a day feel successful.

ceiling lights, stairs, more than two rooms, TV, couches, crazy cooking projects with enough people to eat them, my favorite grocery store. these are things i'm thankful for.

It was such a lot of effort for such little reward. The persistent rain made everything seem worse.
