By Julie | Published: January 15, 2012
Who would have known that a brilliant photographer could make my messy-bun (ahem, dirty-hair) day look so… lovely? The sweet hair pin this particular photographer gave me for Christmas isn’t hurting the situation either, is it? It came in a set of four. She picked them out for me on Etsy – book pages and pretty [...]

MERRY MERRY

By Julie | Published: December 25, 2011
It might be almost over for this year, but I’ve savored every moment. Like listening to Pa read the Christmas story while we each place the appropriate characters into the manger scene one by one as he mentions them… and soaking up lots and lots of Grandma love… and wearing the Santa hat when we [...]

CHARMED

By Julie | Published: November 19, 2011
We’ve all said it a hundred times. But when it actually happens to you out of the blue on an otherwise ordinary Monday afternoon, the phrase “good things come in small packages” can suddenly take on a whole new meaning. Especially when the good things look like this: Oh yeah. You know it. It’s my [...]

JUMPING FOR JOY

By Julie | Published: April 21, 2010
This morning there was no trampoline in the back yard – just a few crazy dreams that there might be one someday. But a few hours can change things, huh? R-kids arrived home after a long, busy day to find a brand new, fully assembled trampoline – a total surprise to them and a total [...]

MINI BOOKS FOR MINI FRIENDS

By Julie | Published: March 23, 2010
Just so you know, I’m not a let’s-make-it-perfect kinda DIY gal. I’m more of a let’s-seize-the-moment-and-possibly-wing-it girl. So this week, when it came time to send a goodbye/I’ll miss you note to some dear, dear little friends of mine, it really could have gone any direction. Want to see where it went? So I started [...]

BEING CARED FOR

By Julie | Published: March 18, 2010
When I had my two R-babies (ages ago!) I wasn’t in community with people who practice the art of providing a meal. I didn’t even know it was a luxury some new moms enjoy, and I got along just fine. The smallest R in the house both times was being happily fed by me, and [...]

ROOM FOR MY FEET

By Julie | Published: January 25, 2010
For the past three nights, I have been floating on air. Thank you, thank you, thank you to my brother and sister-in-law who called Friday: Did I want their practically brand-new guest bed, which was being kicked out in favor of more play area for their kids? Um. Yes. Of course, with a 70-year-old house, it’s never quite that [...]
