We got a puppy. It wasn’t really in the plans, but my sister sent me a picture of a tiny black and white face with a warning you better claim her–she’s going to go quick. I stood firm at first. No. The timing is horrible. We have weddings in August, so many sessions in the fall, Chad’s...
Every hour there is a tiny buzz on my wrist and I look down at my bright yellow watch to see the word “BREATHE” pop up on my watch. Or is it every 30 minutes? Funny, I’m not even sure because I’m typically too distracted to notice the tiny reminder from our dear friends at Apple. Every...
The house is quiet now. Three little humans continue to sleep upstairs, completely unaware of the golden light that pours through the windows. A glance toward the back patio reveals towels thrown carelessly off in the midst of sprinkler play. In the quiet, my eyes scan the room and I notice the crumbs left behind...
I’m sitting on our back deck as I write this. Meadow and Taza just finished having a picnic on the deck floor. Taza humored Meadow by watching as Meadow places pieces of broken pancake in her mouth and banters about nothing at all while Taza looks at her and pretends to hang on her every...

Hello! I’ve been reading your blog for some time now
and finally got the bravery to go ahead and
give you a shout out from Kingwood Texas! Just wanted to tell you
keep up the excellent job!
“I realize that it’s never a good time to slow down. There is always something to do. Emails to return. Checklists to ‘check’. Whatever pulls me in one direction, something else will pull me in another. This is the reality of life, for most people, I know.”
Yes.
And, I read this. 🙂 And I loved it. And I smiled because you got another dog. And how lucky that pooch is to join a family of animal lovers.
And, I love that you were EARLY for the parent teacher meet and greet thing… I mean, it’s better than late.
That was my thought, Ky–better than late. (Which I’ve also done. 😉
And, I love you.
