I am obsessed with the idea of Hygee. The word is Danish in origin and is a noun, but it is not something you can just go to the store and purchase. It is an acknowledgement of a feeling of contentment or specialness in a moment. Confusing...but not really in its simplicity. Take any moment- … Continue reading HYGEE in the Dining Room
How to make the bed and a few Christmas touches.
Good morning- In many ways I cannot believe that it has been an entire year since I last wrote on this blog but in other ways it seems a lifetime ago. Fitting too that the last post was of Christmas. Catching you up on a year's worth of stuff is impossible so I'll give a … Continue reading How to make the bed and a few Christmas touches.
Hygge Christmas Family Room
Today I want to share some of my Christmas home design with you. I started this post and erased all of it more than once. I could talk about so many things- the holidays are a hard time for me personally but I'd rather just let you see my family room and tell you about … Continue reading Hygge Christmas Family Room
Stop. Calm Down and Be Still. A story of past and future rescue.
After Josh graduated from high school our family took a trip to the Outer Banks and allowed he and Alyssa to bring friends. We had our 4 and about 6-7 other kids.. and stayed in the town of Rodanthe. We were out on the beach and the waves were rough. The kids were only in … Continue reading Stop. Calm Down and Be Still. A story of past and future rescue.
R.U.N.
Good morning, I am sitting in my friend's house in beautiful PA. I've been awake since 5:30ish ( oh sleep why have you left me???) and awake usually means the brain turns on and starts spinning. Haven't written lately and I've missed it. This year has been one of more travel that I have ever … Continue reading R.U.N.
Recipe: Tomato Pie
Food. We have so many options about what we put into our bodies and often we (I) do not make good selections.. This past year has been a difficult year with food. I never imagined me in a place of not wanting to eat ( generally I'd go in the opposite direction of overeating) but … Continue reading Recipe: Tomato Pie
What Does a Smile Say?
What does a smile mean to me these days? What did a smile imply during the first long year after Sonny's death? Does it imply to observers that all is good or does it mask the real heart? The truth lies somewhere in between. So many have told me that the second year is worse … Continue reading What Does a Smile Say?
I am a Badass (and other things I have learned during this last year)
I am a badass. I have survived (up to this point) and tried each and every day to do what Sonny did himself and expected us to do. So I thought I'd toot my own horn, for posterities sake and list some of my badass accomplishments of the last 13 months. I have gotten out … Continue reading I am a Badass (and other things I have learned during this last year)
Love Always Leaves a Mark
We are coming up on the anniversary of Sonny's death. In ways, it feels as if it was yesterday and other ways a lifetime ago. I haven't written here for months, I have attempted but not been able to put words on the screen- at least not words that I wanted anyone to read. I … Continue reading Love Always Leaves a Mark
Having Fun with God
These days have been difficult. First, it was Sonny's birthday, then Thanksgiving and now Christmas. I wrote last time about how I falsely believed it would be easy. Frankly, some days it just plain sucks. Those days are, thankfully, spread out and not every day is a bad day. When Sonny's birthday came around, we … Continue reading Having Fun with God
