When Left Alone at Home to Roam…
I’m a definite homebody. I need my space and my time in my home to ground me. If other people are around the house, I’ve got a history of …
Life Looking Like This
Our home life is still sailing through all the last of the performance obligations. The busy will soon cease and off to the ocean our family will go to relax. Meanwhile, I thought I’d just show some of our real life moments because this is where we are until we aren’t. Looking at these pictures,…
Experiencing Pronoia and Stepping Back into My Own Shoes
I am working my way back into my life after returning from a vacation in Ireland with my son. The last post I wrote here on the blog was right before we left titled My Return to Ireland. We’ve been home for almost three weeks, and I feel differently on my return. At first, I…

Hail to the Hearth Keepers
Our home fires are both necessary and symbolic. Religious mythology include kitchen hearths and their keepers because the hearth is the place where life and family begins and ends. Heat and life begin within the womb and warmth of the family. And I have always known that my job is to tend that warm place….
