I guess I’m a lot of things: a wife, a mom, a daughter, a sister, a crafter, a cook, a reader, a writer, a homemaker, a pianist, and probably a lot more too. But at the end of the day, I’m just a Christian trying to find and obey God’s will.
Monday we celebrated a little boy’s second birthday. He was excited from the moment he woke up, thanks to Ryan faithfully crossing off calendar days for two weeks leading up to his birthday. We’d been talking about birthday cakes and candles, balloons and presents, and he couldn’t wait. Could. Not. Wait!
We’d decided to have a [...]
:: Last night we three squeezed onto a bench for two, the little guy pressed against the train window, lest he miss even a second of the experience. I smiled. “I like our little family.” I can’t wait for we three to become we four…but this threesome has been absolutely delightful. Daddy and Mama each [...]
Well, it hasn’t quite been daily posting around these parts, but I’m trying. Really, I am.
In fact, “blog” even made it into my goals for today. Trouble is, I had a playdate this morning, and I’m really bad at estimating how much I can get done on a day when I’ve got errands or outings [...]
Tonight, a breeze that gave me chills, made me roll up the window, and inspired sweatshirt-wearing. I don’t think it’s ever felt so good to be a little cold.
And the best part of the evening? Seeing the week’s forecast, with every day’s high starting with number 7. No 9’s, and definitely no 10’s. Just 7’s. [...]
“And there was evening and there was morning, one day.” ( — genesis 1)
I remember reading that line several years ago, and how it jumped out as odd, worth a second look.
Evening and morning, one day? That’s not right. It should be morning and evening. Right? Isn’t that how we all figure one day? [...]
Yup, 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. Read more »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.
