Every year on January 18th I take one picture every hour from the moment I wake up until I go to bed that night. I end up taking pictures of the ordinary – supper prep, cranky kids, trips the library, a cup of coffee, my computer screen. These ordinary pictures are actually quite extraordinary. They are my everyday. They are my here and my now. They are a day in my life. I’ve given myself an amazing gift to be able to look back at a typical day from the past years and see the changes from year to year. The gift of being able to see the extraordinary in my everyday routine because the truth is … [Read more...]

My Personal Reflections on 10 Years of Blogging
As of today, I have been blogging for a full decade. 10 years of blogging! Happy Blogging Anniversary to me and you. On December 18, 2009, I published my very first blog post.

Neighbor Christmas Gifts: Orange You Glad It’s Christmas?
Handing out neighbor Christmas gifts time is one of my favorite family traditions. During the warmer months, we see our neighbors quite a bit. Knocking on our neighbors doors in December, gives us an opportunity to catch up during a season when we don't see each other as often due to the colder weather. We tend to focus on affordable and unique gifts. I have a weak spot for puns. Over the years we have given several pun themed gifts. Our neighbor Christmas gifts usually don't cost very much, but the value of the gift isn't the point. The act of giving the gift is about making connections with our neighbors and letting them know that … [Read more...]
