From Soule Mama: {this moment} – A Friday ritual. A single photo -no words- capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember.

holiday favorites: anything-goes crackers, edible cocoa, and eine auge

January 9, 2011

Belated thanks to a few great bloggers for contributing to my holiday spread: True to form, I didn’t follow any of these recipes to a T, but I came close, which says a lot. All three will become holiday staples at our house; the crackers may well become a year-round fixture. I would like to [...]

Get it? (Mouse over each image for the reveal.)

do what you love: play

January 1, 2011

Deep in the fold of imaginative and active children armed with new tools, my husband and I have gotten caught up in the fun, too. That’s a good thing. Too often it seems that we get so focused on our kids’ skills and interests that we forget to foster our own. I’ve written about this [...]

how I manage time online

December 23, 2010

Especially at this point in the holiday season, many of us with strong ties to the web are searching for greater balance within that relationship.

unplug the computer, and plug in at home

December 12, 2010

Not so many months ago, I thought I had it all figured out. I liked our house, old and small and quirky. It felt hip and appropriate for our stage in life. Our youngest child was increasingly independent, enabling me to take on some fun freelance work. In between interviews and drafts, I connected with [...]

December draws us inward . . .

December 5, 2010

Linking to {inhabit}, a new tradition at The Little List. Last week, I highlighted my areas of focus; this week, we did it all, focusing on each other and fully inhabiting our home in every way.

In essence, this means getting into a life rhythm that works for you, enabling you to find balance and space so that you may nurture yourself as you do others. We'll discuss ways to feather our nests to simplify, keep, and inspire; and we'll begin to reframe parental responsibilities as opportunities. Starting now.
