sweet like maple: 07.2008
http://sweetlikemaple.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
You may already be dreaming. 31 weeks (last week). I feel like I can't possibly get any bigger, but today I'm at 32 weeks, so I still have 8 to go, and only one way to grow - out! I sat in it and rocked for about ten minutes . . . long enough to worry my dog, who stood, whining, looking at me. Probably wondering how this chair was taking me so far away from him - I just sat there, staring out into space. Thinking about holding Finn, instead of only feeling him move inside me. . Don't get lost in heaven.

http://sweetlikemaple.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
I will say, though, the emotional fulfillment of kissing his marshmallow cheeks makes every gruesome detail totally null and void. . Only in it for the rain. So *this* is what labor feels like . . . . It feels like very deep, all consuming cramps. . I've been walking around, tidying the house, resting on my side, laboring on the toilet and the yoga ball, etc. . I guess this baby's actually coming out. . Rock me mama like a wagon wheel. It's hard to tell. I'm banking on the fact that at some point co...

cake and cup: May 2011
http://cakeandcup.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
For anyone wondering about the project I was rambling on about in the last post. Here are the long and short of it. The long: a book. The short: writing every day. The dream that I have is to write. It is also the very core of who I am, though I think I've been in denial for most of my life. As a child, I loved writing. I tore off covers of books and filled them with stories of fairies, forests, and so on. I wrote about world peace! What are you unearthing these days? Links to this post. So much of what ...

cake and cup: February 2011
http://cakeandcup.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
I've been quiet here lately, but I'm just enjoying life and working out some thoughts. The weather is slowly warming up and the days are becoming brighter. I've never been a fan of Valentine's Day, but I'm beginning to warm up to it. After all, between a husband who surprises me with flowers and my favorite dark mint chocolate and my two tiny valentines, what's not to love? Links to this post. Here's a great article. About the disease in general. And here's a wonderful one. Links to this post.

cake and cup: heart of writing
http://cakeandcup.blogspot.com/2011/10/heart-of-writing.html
Writing practice knows this, knows we are not our thoughts, but lets the thoughts, visions, emotions run through us and puts them on the page. Writing is the crack through which you can crawl into a bigger world, into your wild mind." -Natalie Goldberg. What sorts of treasures are you enjoying these days? This fabulous, cool, good-smelling weather is the BEST! Enjoy your walks with your littles before theyre old enough to zoom off ahead of you on their big bikes with their hair flowing out behind them.

cake and cup: in my mind's eye
http://cakeandcup.blogspot.com/2011/11/in-my-minds-eye.html
In my mind's eye. Blog: "Write your first draft with your heart. Rewrite with your head," from Finding Forrester. In my life, I strive to be in the moment, and to soak up the details around me, as they work like mental compost to eventually enrich my writing. Also, as cooler weather sets in, I start needing to bake. Thus the cookies begin to be a staple on my counter top. Soon it will be pies, and apple cake. What's your favorite fall treat? November 14, 2011 at 3:08 PM. Ive been a bit of a slacker latel...

http://sweetlikemaple.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
Preparing every part for you. Beginning to pray in earnest, truly seeking. Opening my heart to God. Asking to see his face and hear his voice. I feel close to him today. Sweet Elohim. . Reading many books lately. It's summertime, and I have about ten books in mind that I would like to read. Not to mention the sprinkling of baby and parenting books we bring home from the library. . I love feeling him move. . Well, the semester is finally over. I finished the bathroom project and it looks wonderful. It...

sweet like maple: wired for light
http://sweetlikemaple.blogspot.com/2009/04/wired-for-light.html
The baby's teething. Needless to say, I did not enjoy much sleep last night. In other news, I've got my eye on this little number. Which I hope to find time to make in the near future. This week is forecasted for some cold weather, and those cookies would certainly keep me warm and toasty inside. Tonight our good friend Jessica is coming over and bringing her homemade chili. Need I say more? Alright, I will. This friend happens to be an incredible cook, who once made kolache. Still missing. Drat. Our gin...

cake and cup: a little break
http://cakeandcup.blogspot.com/2011/09/little-break.html
A break, a vacation, is just what a person needs sometimes. I took a vacation when my mom and brother flew in, and we went, with the kids, to the beach together. It was wonderful! I also took a break from any sort of writing, which felt good at first, but now I feel malnourished. The most exciting news of this week is Finn's third birthday, coming right up on Thursday. He has requested a strawberry cake, so I am on the hunt for the perfect recipe. Are you taking a little break from anything? I hope your ...
