KWQR: December 2014

http://kwqr.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html

Tuesday, December 9, 2014. Catching up with words. The longer I am away from this space. or from writing in general. the harder it is to just jump back in. By this point, it has been so long it just feels silly. But, like most things that are stuck, a deep breath and just jumping right back in is probably the best thing to do. There were many drafts and bits of thought these past nine months that started out, but never made it to an actual post. a few random bits:. Imagine you are just two years old.

KWQR: November 2012

http://kwqr.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html

Saturday, November 3, 2012. The weeks are flying by in a blur of school-routines and regular life. Sunday evening comes quietly with the preparations for the week. print calendar, organize homework, half-assedly plan meals, fold yet another load of laundry. Then I blink, and Friday afternoon storms in, filled with amped up/burned out kids and two very long weekend days ahead. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Keeping up with Quinnlan, Remy and Soren. Pokemon Go is making it weird. Enjoying the Small Things.

KWQR: January 2013

http://kwqr.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html

Thursday, January 10, 2013. Last summer, driving home from Grandma's one weekend, the boys and I stopped along the way to fill the car with gas. While they lounged in their car seats, enjoying the air-conditioned movie theater on wheels, something happened that has not occurred in many, many, MANY moons. a guy getting gas at the pump behind us asked for my phone number. Surprised when some random guy asks for my phone number? So far I can tell you where it’s not…. 8230; in my new (sensible! I find myself...

KWQR: being here in the middle

http://kwqr.blogspot.com/2014/03/being-here-in-middle.html

Monday, March 17, 2014. Being here in the middle. Sometimes it feels like Death circles closer than other times. The end of life sweeps near in a very real way instead of the theoretical seed that lies quiet within each of us. I used to be okay with the thought of leaving. I had a full life and adventures and lots of love around me. But this was long before I had small people who depend on me with every cell and breath. Oh how I would miss all of the things that drive me crazy on a daily basis! Sending l...

KWQR: August 2013

http://kwqr.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html

Wednesday, August 21, 2013. The house is strangely quiet after so many weeks of summer chaos. I am a bit giddy with possibilities. should I be responsible and tackle the laundry/cleaning/list of projects that never ends? Or be decadent and lay on the couch with the latest People magazine? Downright giddy, I tell you. First day of 2nd and Kindergarten. Little brother photo bomber. Importing Fair Trade housewares with our partners in Australia. more on that coming soon! Have been thinking a lot lately abou...

KWQR: December 2012

http://kwqr.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html

Monday, December 17, 2012. I have been struggling all weekend with the need to write something, anything. About what happened on Friday in Connecticut. Feeling so deeply that if I could just write something, process what happened, it would somehow make sense. But it will never make sense. And there are no words in any human language that can change that. Behind it all would keep us safe. Focusing instead on the sweet smile and "hello Quinn's mommy". Tuesday, December 11, 2012. Exactly one year ago today,...

KWQR: January 2014

http://kwqr.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html

Thursday, January 30, 2014. Today you are six. I remember six. It felt so grown up and important. You, my dear, are an amazing, caring, stubborn, smart, all-around incredible person. Watching you grow and stretch and change is one of my most favorite adventures. I feel so lucky to be here to guide you along your path. To push you to try new things and to have hugs ready when you need to retreat. Or, one of my favorites, "Is love stronger than death? I love your silly side and the sound of your laugh when...

KWQR: May 2013

http://kwqr.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html

Wednesday, May 15, 2013. There are some mornings I wake up to little boy snuggles and excitement about the day ahead and I think to myself, I am doing pretty well with this parenthood thing. Glasses. the ones that remind you to see the beauty in the midst of chaos. I am certain I would never take them off. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Keeping up with Quinnlan, Remy and Soren. The haberdashery of grief. Spring 2014 French Club Chairs New Arrivals. Enjoying the Small Things. Pokemon Go is making it weird.
