Creative Sanity: September 2011
http://creativesanity.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
A joyful heart in abundant life. Thursday, September 22, 2011. This is just my first class in graduate school, and I find myself overwhelmed. What does overwhelmed look like? A cold. A sore throat and a chest cough. Tired and tired. Strange obsessive behaviors with Facebook. Why am I checking it all the time? And sometimes you go in there to hide from doing any actual work. Unfortunately I have been using it to hide. On the upside, I really love the work. I love writing, I love revising, and I love t...

Creative Sanity: October 2011
http://creativesanity.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
A joyful heart in abundant life. Friday, October 28, 2011. At 2 AM Patrick and I both woke up for no real reason. He heard me toss and turn then whispered 'hey are you up? Yup, but i don't wanna be'. Me either. your feet are finally warm'. And back to sleep. At 5 AM my harp alarm went off and I was in the middle of a dream. AGGGHHHH! At 6 AM I finally got out of bed, grabbed the laptop and am still in bed. I am supposed to be researching my project but I can't get motivated. This week has been too much.

Grandma on Board: June 2014
http://grandma-holly-on-board.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Serving one another along the way . . . Monday, June 23, 2014. Rainy Days and Mondays . . . One of the 5-year olds is staying with us this week-end while his parents are away. This morning we woke up to grey skies, and sure enough, by breakfast time it was raining. What to do on a rainy Monday? Laundry awaited, but first we had to make provision for a very energetic boy; no outdoor romp for us – at least not for a few hours. Or perhaps the barn and tractors? Why not all of them? Links to this post. Too M...

Creative Sanity: Silly Days of Lore
http://creativesanity.blogspot.com/2013/04/silly-days-of-lore.html
A joyful heart in abundant life. Tuesday, April 9, 2013. Silly Days of Lore. I get up really early to work on my research project, like 4:00 AM early. Today I was more tired than usual, so at about 6:30 I decided to take a short nap before the kids got up. At 7, there was a super silly girl hanging about wondering where breakfast was. The more the morning went, the sillier she got and the culmination of the silliness is presented below:. Full Screen for maximum silliness:. View my complete profile.

Creative Sanity: December 2011
http://creativesanity.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
A joyful heart in abundant life. Wednesday, December 14, 2011. I don't have one. Oh, I have the kid's lists, I have the 'Ridiculous Things I Want' list, but for once in my grown up life, I don't have a 'to do' list. I've been busy, overwhelmed with life. There are a million things I need to be doing, and a list would indeed be helpful. But I don't have one, and I don't want one. I have my permission to go without a list. I'm the one playing it! No plans, no set list. I'm just going to go and do. There wa...

Creative Sanity: April 2012
http://creativesanity.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
A joyful heart in abundant life. Friday, April 20, 2012. I have a project to work on today. I have been diligently reading articles, working on sources, organizing my thoughts. It is one of those perfect study/ quiet days, with rainy cool weather outside and a warm couch and slipper day inside. I had to have soup for lunch, and cooking is perfect procrastination! We floated a few goldfish and drizzled some cream over the top. Ridiculous! 2 cups quartered new potatoes. 2 carrots, rough chopped. Book I was...

Serving one another along the way . . . Tuesday, April 26, 2011. Too Wet for Gardening? Not Too Wet for Reading . . . Here in the Midwest, it’s been a soggy spring – not the best for early gardening outdoors. Even so, there are things we can do to encourage a love for gardening:. Starting seeds indoors, looking through gardening wishbooks (otherwise known as catalogs), reading up on new plants, or new ways of doing familiar tasks in the garden. Of course, for the youngest set, Beatrix Potter. By Edith Pa...

Serving one another along the way . . . Friday, November 22, 2013. Like many things, gratitude is sweeter when it is shared. I try to send out the leaves or the acorns or the pumpkins a week or two before Thanksgiving so everyone has a chance to think about their blessings. That's part of the fun, too - taking a bit of time to remember and write down all the good things that have happened, all the blessings we've experienced individually, and as a family. Like every family, we have difficult times, disag...

Creative Sanity: Summertime!
http://creativesanity.blogspot.com/2012/05/summertime.html
A joyful heart in abundant life. Friday, May 11, 2012. I'm a good Lutheran girl, and I'm not opposed to asking St Anne for intercession when life gets overwhelming, and continuing to rely on grace grace grace grace for the times when I get overwhelmed. My true reliance is always on the One who knows me best, and who can give me rest when I need it. Phesheww! Let the summer begin! And may it be a good one for all of you! May 17, 2012 at 7:45 PM.
