Me and Wee: Nursery!

http://meandwee.blogspot.com/2009/02/nursery.html

Wednesday, February 11, 2009. The nursery is basically done! We're still waiting on the area rug but only God knows when that will come in. :). In the meantime, I took some shots of the space to share here. Sorry for the long post, it's lots of pictures! You can also view the slideshow of the nursery at my flickr page. We had our $9 Salvation Army thrifted swivel-rocker chair custom-fit with a yellow/white slipcover and we're pleased with how it came out! More importantly, I hope Little P will like it!

Poetry & Biscuits: April 2009

http://poetryandbiscuits.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html

Wednesday, April 29, 2009. Best definition of the universe I've heard yet. My daughter's first grade class is assembling a book on geography. Each child was assigned a geographical concept to look up in the dictionary. Then they write the word on their page with the definition and draw a picture of it. A few kids were assigned two pages, so all the concepts would be covered. Leah got "prairie," and then she got "universe.". Blew Me. Away. Links to this post. Friday, April 24, 2009.

Poetry & Biscuits: May 2009

http://poetryandbiscuits.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html

Wednesday, May 27, 2009. Here's the quote that's on my mind today:. Is there more to life than increasing its speed? I was packing a lot, oh, I mean A LOT into the next several weeks. I just decided today to let some of it go. Disappointing. Very, very relieving. I will, after all, be moving states this summer. I need to just let that unfold and then move on to the next project and embrace the journey. I'd like to read a really good biography of Mahatma Gandhi. Can you recommend one to me?

Poetry & Biscuits: Happy Mother's Day from a baby bird

http://poetryandbiscuits.blogspot.com/2009/05/happy-mothers-day-from-baby-bird.html

Sunday, May 10, 2009. Happy Mother's Day from a baby bird. Found in my children's playset in the backyard. They've generously agreed not to play there for a few weeks, while this feathered family gets its start. Does this little guy remind any of my mama friends of their scrawny, hungry, newborn nurslings? Happy Mother's Day, friends. Hope you had the chance to gather your babies back into your nest and kiss them. On days when I cannot. And I am just as pleased.". Gifts from the Sea. Inside A Black Apple).

Poetry & Biscuits: Change as a lifestyle

http://poetryandbiscuits.blogspot.com/2009/05/change-as-lifestyle.html

Wednesday, May 6, 2009. Change as a lifestyle. We move. A lot. A LOT. Even other military families think we move a lot. We moved here to Ohio just last summer and bought a house, thinking we would be here for years. But my husband's office reorganized. Fortunately, he was able to get a position back in the DC area, where we just left last summer. So, we are moving back to DC. This summer. We pretty much move annually. Walking distance to school! On days when I cannot. And I am just as pleased.". Inside A...
