Under Construction

     Faithful readers, my blog is not all I wish it to be at this time. I have a hundred ideas jostling around inside my head; dreams of what this space could be, what it could offer. But the blogging world is still so new to me. My intentions require patience in their realization. So please forgive this awkward in-between stage as I learn my way around here. 
     I'd like to invite your feedback and suggestions. Please leave a comment telling me what you'd be interested in seeing on the blog, what features you'd recommend or if you've had trouble viewing it thus far, etc. Don't be shy! Go on and share your opinion. 

     




Thanks for your help, my friends!

    There were so many trends happening when I started my blog. I think the best thing is just to make it YOURS. It does take some time to find what you want it to be. And don't stop! I'm amazed at some of the ways my memory has failed me. When I read my blog, I sometimes come across something that starts, "I will never forget ..." And guess what? I had already forgotten! Maybe you keep your journal faithfully so it's not a problem, but my blog is definitely a treasure to me, and my only regret is that I haven't kept up with it better. You already have some treasure here. :)

      Thanks so much for your insights, Mandy. It's been a challenge already to scrape enough time together to experiment with it long enough to find out what I want. But it's always well worth it. I love being able to display recent photos! I have boxes upon boxes of photographs that I have yet to scrapbook. The blog makes the task of record-keeping a little less daunting.
      Kudos on your lovely blog! Just checked out the Halloween costume pics. I echo your encouragement: don't stop!

    I love the pictures of your kiddos snuggled up together in the library.

    I love those library shots too. I agree with Mandy. Make it feel like your own cozy special place you can come and find renewal and perspective. Really put your heart into it and people will respond. You are beautiful. So it makes sense your space online would be too.

    I enjoyed reading your blog this evening. I've loved what you've shared. Such a blessing to be able to hear music in your home with your new piano. It continues to be a favorite for me when I can hear my own children play on it. Congrats on getting the winning bid!

    The first month of a new year is past.     2014 started off with a bang for me. I love beginnings. I love the clarity and and anticipation involved in mapping out your dreams. I was looking forward to some exciting topics of focus for our homeschool, some intellectual growth with a college statistics class I've enrolled in, and more consistency with a "date night" for me and Richard. I was both excited and concerned after Christmas when Richard told me the Bishop would like to meet with me.      In my church, the leader of the congregation (our Bishop) is the one responsible to extend certain assignments to members. We refer to them as "callings" since he makes the decisions prayerfully, seeking inspiration from the Lord to know who should do what within the ward (or congregation). I'd already been serving as a teacher for a class of children, aged 4-5 years old and was eagerly anticipating the changes of a new year which would place my n...

  "This time, like all times, is a very good one, if we but know what to do with it." - Ralph Waldo Emerson I am a contradiction. Spontaneous and thoughtful. Energetic, yet reserved. Dreamy, though realistic. Bubbly, but at the same time, grounded. I'm sure most of you have felt the same way at times. It makes for some interesting inner dialogue. And it's not about good vs. evil - I'm not referring to the light and dark in each of us. Just the simple quirks of personality which make our lives interesting, though sometimes irritating. You see, I'm not philosiphizing over moral issues so much as attempting to choose the best of the many good things that are at my fingertips. In this information age, the vast opportunities we have can be both a blessing and a curse. Friday is open. Should I take the kids to that new indoor playground to let them release some of that pent-up winter energy? Or maybe we could spend the day inside building a pillow fort? Oh...
