Tools And Leaves

Slats Of Sunshine

We dont go out into the bright sun much these days. We curiously watch the outside through the slats in the blinds- "boodees" pecking at the leaf covered ground in search of fallen acorns, so...

I remember we had a sleeper sofa for a little while when I was a kid. Pulling the bed part out, no matter how uncomfortable, was awesome! Theres just something so cool about an ugly couch that turns ...

Packing, unpacking, packing, re packing, packing. Stuff. Stuff that we need, stuff that we dont need, stuff that we want, stuff that we want but cant keep. Letting go of stuff. Simplifying. And then ...

I have to remind myself that this project is about capturing the everyday moments, not the everyday. Its natural for me to want to document my babies every waking moment- their entire lives from the ...

Evelyn is having a hard time with all of this. The hardest part of all- her biggest disadvantage: ...she cant talk yet, sooo- she cant find the words to tell me how shes feeling, or what she needs.Sl...

My motherly instinct, when I hear something crash down onto the floor above me, is "Oh no, did the bookshelf in Charlies room fall over?", as I picture my son crushed under an avalanche of ve...

We had a hard time last night. I slept on the couch again, so that I wouldnt give in to nursing Evelyn back to sleep when she woke up crying at 1am. And 2am. And 3am. And 4 am. Christopher was a troo...

Today has been all over the place. All play, little chores. Which is probably the opposite of what we needed to be doing, but- then again, who decides that?I say we play.So we had leftover pumpkin oa...
