Welcome!

Welcome one, welcome all! :)

I decided to start this blog with the high hopes that it would drive me to write more. I've found that lately my time spent writing for the sake of writing has decreased greatly and a part of me has really missed it. I also had some encouragement from a fellow campmate and blogger. :)

As the title so aptly states a lot of these blog posts will probably come from me procrastinating or me just sitting in class thinking about life, love and God instead of children developing language, what Wordsworth really meant by his use of the word nature and the like. Really at times these random thoughts and rambles that come out of me pondering and praying seem more useful. I hope I'm not alone here in this sentiment.

Especially as I head into 7 months of planning a wedding, thinking about marriage, life and the future I'm sure I'll have lots to ponder and ramble about. :)

Sorry for the let down in the first post, but I promise more will come later. Especially as I head off to Canadian Drama on this fine, snowy yet rainy, Friday afternoon. These classes always tend to give many chances for my mind to wander, though not due to an uninteresting professor, she is fantastic. It's Friday afternoon, cold, cloudy and lazy, what a better time to let your mind wander.

I hope our adventure together is a good one...

Day 6- Passages that have Impacted/Encouraged Me

 I have to try really hard not to begin these posts with "so". Apparently, that is my go to starter word...which is odd but true. I skipped yesterday due to the cold that was taking each member of our house captive one by one. Why is it never all at once? Sometimes this feels it would be easier than this long, drawn out affair we have been experiencing. Our youngest has had a fever for the past two days and while at first she handled it like a champ she, like all of us, only had so much to give before she just decided the whole being sick things sucks and is now over it. Anyway, I skipped yesterday and considered skipping today as well but then I felt like I wasn't really challenging myself then. So this might be another lighter post but the point was for me to write every day not write something groundbreaking every day (or ever!). So, when I looked at my list of things one that stuck out to me was Bible verses that have impacted me. I think that even if you aren't a...

Starting Again

 Here we go again. I've decided (once again) that I really need and want to start writing again. How is this going to happen with one kid that won't leave my side and another that is pretty indifferent to sleep? I'm not sure but I'm going to try. I'm never entirely sure where to start when I start writing again. Do I follow prompts? Just write whatever the heck I want? A combination of the two? I've considered starting writing again without any connection to who I am...to allow myself to write more freely. Right now that thought is still on the table to be honest. I think the greater growing experience for me, however, would be to put myself in a situation where I journey let go of the pressure and expectations I put on myself for my writing to be something "spectacular" and to just write. Basically, I think what I'm going to do is an advent calendar of writing. Leading up to Christmas, for 25 days, I'm going to commit to writing something. It ...

Fall Excitement!

Is anyone else excited for fall?! The trees are beautiful and there is that particular smell in the air that makes me go, "Ahh..." While I am definitely a summer girl, I may have a wavering dedication to summer because of fall. Fall is beautiful, fall means pumpkin pie, fall means sweaters, fall means cozy homes filled with wonderful smells. Some of you know that I'm down in Toronto three days and two nights a week. Honestly, in some ways this has been wonderful for our marriage! But it doesn't change the fact that I miss being around Rob, and our home.  Side note: Do any of you find you have an addiction to exclamation points? I always find myself having to restrict my use of them or using :)'s to show it is a happy exclamation and not an angry one. I was going to write this post about this coming (and by coming I mean past) weekend, which for us here Canadians was all about Thanksgiving. But by the time I got around to actually writing this blog the Th...
