it’s a day

August 27, 2021August 27, 2021 ~ Michelle GD ~ 6 Comments

it starts with a cup of coffee and ends with a glass of wine.  it’s filled with a hug or two, multiple kisses, (so) many words, countless thoughts ideas dreams.  there is sunshine and heat and humidity.  there is rest and exercise and food in between. there is trying and crying.  there is testing and surviving.  there is unplanned conversation, so … Continue reading it’s a day

On Comfort and Learning What We Need

September 22, 2017September 25, 2017 ~ Michelle GD ~ 6 Comments

Sometimes in the doing, a certain rushing creeps in.  It’s not intended (the rushing) and maybe we think we’re doing fine (and maybe we are) but, sometimes, there comes a point when we pause and we wonder just how the crazy managed to creep in. I found myself at that point the other day.  Well, … Continue reading On Comfort and Learning What We Need

Time {and a summer hiatus}

June 23, 2017July 27, 2017 ~ Michelle GD ~ 7 Comments

I sat at her kitchen table and she poured me some wine.  The kids were in and out of the house, up and down the stairs.  She and I stayed in that spot for three hours, though our stories carried us through decades and across continents.  That's an afternoon I can get down with. Summer … Continue reading Time {and a summer hiatus}

Finding Softness on the Hardwood Floor

March 10, 2017March 9, 2017 ~ Michelle GD ~ 14 Comments

Yesterday afternoon, I had a choice.  I could sit at my desk and get some work done. Or I could lay on the floor with my girl.  She was stretched out on the hardwood floor in a patch of sun and she said, "Now I know why K likes to lay here".  I wanted to be … Continue reading Finding Softness on the Hardwood Floor

:: Randoming ::

January 13, 2017January 12, 2017 ~ Michelle GD ~ 4 Comments

Some random things. Our Christmas decorations have come down (well, except the tree...insert emoji with big, wide eyes).  But, even once the tree comes down, we always keep a few strings of twinkle lights up year round.  Because twinkle lights.  So of course I liked this. We're writing thank you notes this week.  You might … Continue reading :: Randoming ::

In Need of Porch Step Sitting

June 15, 2016 ~ Michelle GD ~ 10 Comments

Our schoolwork has wrapped up for the year (save a few additional weeks of math work for my son).  And while the winding down feels good, there's a simultaneous gearing up.  Which is freaking me out.  Mildly. Navigating our son's high school years as a homeschooler means we'll be enlisting the help of the community … Continue reading In Need of Porch Step Sitting
