puppy update

Our lovely little penelope isn't quite as little as when she arrived in our home 4 weeks ago. At 13 weeks she clocks in at about 15 pounds and about 14" tall. She's a bundle of crazy joy and I swear she gets bigger every day. Currently her ears are huge and legs go on for days. A little awkward looking, honestly, but G and I are very excited to see how much more she grows and changes in the coming months. No longer do I get to return to sleep once my husband leaves for work in the dark hours of the early morning. Once he's up, puppy's up. And once puppy's up, I'm up. 

As our family prepared for a blizzard back in New England, we battened down the hatches expecting gale force winds and buckets of rain. The storm washed ashore many pretty treasures for us to find as we combed the beaches. My personal favorite, was a beautiful conch shell, flawless and unbroken, the size of my face.


Pasta and homemade vodka meat sauce
And stormy weather calls for warm, hearty food such as pasta with a homemade vodka sauce. Food is something the two of us love to make and love to eat, and we enjoy doing this together. One of our latest creation was a creamy Buffalo Chicken Soup served over rice. One certainly does not need seconds, but cannot help themselves to take more, knowing that if and when they do they will remain on the couch for quite a while in a post food stupor.

In Everything Give Thanks

By
Over the past month I have been trying to get myself back into daily devotions, and though I may not have gotten to the daily part yet, I have managed to have quiet times a bit more often. Recently I have been using the website  SheReadsTruth  for my outlines and I have been greatly enjoying them. With all that's going on in my life at the moment I was really glad to find a study called  "In Everything, Give Thanks."    Here's a little of what I gleaned this from this mornings study, and hopefully there will be more to come.  DAY 1:   Psalm 105:1, 12-15 (The Message) Hallelujah! Thank God! Pray to him by name! Tell everyone you meet what he has done! Sing him songs, belt out hymns, translate his wonders into music! Honor his holy name with Hallelujahs, you who seek God. Live a happy life! Keep your eyes open for God, watch for his works; be alert for signs of his presence. Remember the world of wonders he has made, his miracles, and ...

mug memories

By
Ok, so I know it's not Monday, but it's been a while since #mugmonday happened around here.  I can't remember if I've shared this mug already, but the weather is giving me wicked New England vibes, and this mug conjures up such visions as well. I can't use this mug without remembering walking down old, old streets of a fishing village on the Massachusetts coast. Like Rockport, but I'm not sure if that's where it was. Like today, fog hung thick in the air, casting a mysteriousness over everything.  My family had driven the couple of hours to visit my brother for the day. He went to college up in Wenham, MA and it was always a treat to see him.  I remember wandering into a little shop called the Wicked Peacock and purchasing a small piece of jewelry, though I can't for the life of me me remember what it might've been now. Down an alley there was a little art shop, and next to it was an open faced studio filled floor to ceiling w...

Changing Tides

By
 Life has changed since I started this blog. It has been nearly six years, I think. My husband and I have added 3 pets to the family, 2 sons, and have lived in 4 different homes in 3 different states. Over the past couple years, starting when we moved into our previous home, I started experiencing more anxiety over what is usually considered mundane. I started examining things that may have influenced things and triggered responses from life events and childhood. I've started examining the views I had been taught from an early age surrounding religion and politics and how you should raise a child. Are these really my views and values or have I just been regurgitating what I had been fed and told not to question because this was the "right" way?  As life has changed, as it is supposed to, I feel like it's time to shift this blog's perspective, too. It may be updated the same amount, which is laughable, but I have decided that it should be a reflection of the though...
