Bounding (carefully) up the porch steps in nothing less than a deluge, and standing in the middle of the kitchen floor while water puddled beneath me, all I could think was,
“I said drrrenched, and I meant drrrenched.”
Oh, I love that movie!
P.S. Speaking of movies, thanks to our lack of television, and the fact [...]
Waking up before my alarm to raindrops and cool breeze…
Propping my pillow and reading another chapter of Anne of Windy Poplars…
Dozing off again…
Sipping coffee, reading my favorite Book…
Cleaning in my pajamas…
Enjoying a sparkling kitchen sink…
Eating peaches and blueberries in cream for breakfast…
These are a few of my favorite things.
One year.
Hard to believe it’s almost been an entire year. The First Year was so thought through, so talked about, so focused on. And now it’s almost over. On June 26th, we’ll officially have moved into the rest of Forever. (…Forever, of course, being a slight exaggeration, and only meaning the rest of our finite [...]
Thinking about the focus of our faith:
But the Lord answered and said to her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and bothered about so many things; but only one thing is necessary, for Mary has chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her.” –luke 10)
Only one thing…shall not be taken away.
Jesus, [...]
Ryan found another picture of a baby at 25 weeks. Hard to believe that our little one is already so perfectly formed–10 little fingers and toes, a face that bears our resemblance… It’s pretty amazing that God can create all of that in only a few months. Amazing.
This baby is the same “age” as mine.
Makes me wonder what my baby looks like.
3.5 months, and I’ll know.
Crazy.
So, whose blog is this, anyway? It's mine, and here are few tidbits about me: My name is Danica. Like the race car driver, whose name I know, but whose career I know nothing about. A Nascar fan I am not. Things like reading, playing piano, gardening, cooking, sewing, writing, and keeping my bathroom bleached are more up my alley.My maiden name is Sinclair (not Patrick), and I come from good stock. (So says my husband, anyway!) I'm the oldest of 9 kids--and my parents are neither insane, uninformed, or Catholic. They're actually the best parents you could ask for. Seriously. (And, consequently, I think pretty highly of my siblings, too, whose blogs you can access from the links below.) I've joined a new clan, though, and my husband and I have been "leaving-and-cleaving" for 2 years and counting. We have a son who you'll read much (too much?) about. Oh. And there are pictures of him, too--hundreds of them--should you care to click on over to my flickr account. I'm a stay at home mom who is redefining that title--I literally stay at home as much as I possibly can. I love to be home! Home, by the way, is in Northern California, although my roots are in a lil' ol' town in Northern New York. Lastly, I take all blame for any ridiculous, outlandish, illogical posts. Anything worth commenting on or linking to is due to my husband's encouragement. In the spirit of the Little engine That Could, "He thinks I can, He thinks I can, He thinks I can,...", and sometimes, that's all a wife needs.
The first of a week-long series on mothering without fear. Encouraging!
GOOD read.
I LOVE money-back guarantees for stuff like this. (Of course, I can't imagine anyone returning an Ergo!) If you're thinking about purchasing an Ergo carrier, maybe you'll appreciate these 90 days of flexibility.
Write to your elected officials to let them know your thoughts on killing babies.
