  • Progress, of a sort. A few things to finish up. The small details were very meditative for me to paint. Far more calming than frustrating, which honestly surprised me! . . . . #aotehandbookyear3 #motherartist #maketimeforart #wearethemakers
  • We’ve slowly begun to decorate for the Nativity season. The centerpiece was foraged from our yard, something that hadn’t occurred to me to do until this year. Smells so good! . . . . #morningstories #myslowandsimple
  • Happy Thanksgiving, dear ones. May His peace keep you today and every day. Holding all of you close for whom this and the holidays in general are painful and difficult. I see you. Know that you are loved. 🕊️💕💫
  • Another entry for Wordfull Wednesday. I hope I’m awake. Sometimes I wonder. . . . . #aotecommonplace
  • I have a breakfast buddy this morning. I love that breakfast for my kids always comes with a side of comics. One of my favorite parts of my own childhood. I’m glad the tradition continues. . . . . #morningstories #myslowandsimple
  • Our homeschool year so far has been a bit weird. We had barely gotten started when a string of surgeries for various family members happened back to back in September. We didn't quite get our heads screwed back on till mid October. We've put in some solid work since then. It feels strange to already be entering the holiday season. I'm not sure how we'll arrange it...we usually take a large chunk of December off...but the kids aren't ready to stop (which surprises me!) The beauty of it all, of course, is that we *can* be flexible and make our own decisions. I dunno. Stuff to think about over Thanksgiving break! 🤔🌿✨ . . . . #morningstories #myslowandsimple
  • I'm not going to lie. I feel a bit overwhelmed by the upcoming holiday season. Taking deep breaths and admiring the sunrise this morning. . . . . . #morningstories #myslowandsimple
  • The beginnings of something. 🌾🌱 . . . . . #aotehandbookyear3 #motherartist #maketimeforart #wearethemakers
  • I keep thinking about diligence and discipline lately...within myself. The structure of the last four years since my kids' diagnosis means that things are often quite chaotic and unpredictable. It makes decision-making hard. But I've also realized that, at times, I've used the chaos as an excuse not to do the next right thing. At times, I've defaulted to, 'well it's all going to fall apart again anyways'. The reality of that is that it just feeds that chaotic, out of control feeling. Choosing to continue to be diligent and disciplined even when everything goes sideways grounds not only myself but my family- gives us all ropes to hold on to. I am reminding myself of that every time I just want to throw my hands up and let it all go to the four winds. I need to do the next right thing, even when no one is looking or cares, even when it feels unproductive or useless. It matters. . . . . . #morningstories #myslowandsimple
