tea anyone?


oh how i love these two....my hubby and our little girl.  every sunday night son and i head off to youth group together.  we are gone for about 3-4 hours.  at first princess was rather distressed, but now, i think she looks forward to it.

i love when i get home and hear what they have done together that night.  hubby could easily let her do her own thing while he does his, but he doesn't.  they almost always have tea time.  princess loves tea and hubby enjoys a good cup too.  she pulls out the fancy china and prepares little snacks while he fixes the tea.  i don't know what they really talk about, but i can guess it is entertaining.  

some weeks they have made cookies together.  they were quite tasty too.  last week she made them dinner. 

i love this bond they are forming.  i pray it lasts.  i pray this gives her a glimpse of how cherished she really is.

chris-
I love this! It's so sweet !! Chloe loves these tea times with her dad, she's talking about them every sunday after class. She always says when we are done- "Well now its time for tea with my dad " :) How precious, I bet this will be something she remembers and carries with her for the rest of her life. The man who comes along and can have tea with her will be the one who will steal her heart. Such awesome invested hours.

2021 word: rhythm

 as i began to ponder all that i had learned about myself in 2020 i found amazing places of adaptability, leadership, and change.  those are great strengths and proved to be valuable in 2020, however those same things left me feeling a bit out of sorts, unanchored.  i know my life needs to find some grounding again.  i told my husband yesterday and a friend today that i am not looking forward to 2021.  no big plans. no vacations to look forward to.  several things are already cancelled and leaving some voids at work.  but really...there is nothing like being an incredible social person and realizing 2021 has a looming sense of loneliness when my girl takes on college. with this in mind, i knew i needed to find some ways to reclaim myself; putting space into my life filled with things that bring joy and peace.  there are things i need to continue changing physically, emotionally, spiritually, and relationally, yet discipline is not in my skill set.  it freaks me out.  constrains me lead

me, on politics

i despise politics. i never liked it, but i married a man fascinated with it. a man who wanted to be part of it all...and was, briefly. boy were our eyes opened... anyways...it seems like this election has several hot button topics. one of which is universal healthcare. my cousin started a blog called politics for mom and there have been several heated debates going on. i was reading several comments on healthcare. and frankly i was bothered! now, i don't know that a strict universal healthcare is the answer, but i do know that we have now doesn't work for the average person. here is our story.... hubby worked in a small business - 3 employees at the most that i can remember. we paid 1/2 our insurance..until it came to the point where our half each month was twice what we would pay if we were on our own. but for the owner it saved him money. so he agreed to cover ours in full. we were very grateful. i also know at times, that because of the healthcare cost, it was a struggle f

the word...

new year.  new decade. new word.  i started the habit of choosing a word almost exactly a decade ago.  each year the word has evolved and helped shape the year. well, this year is quite likely the exception.  or at least i thought it was.  my usual yearly reflection takes me on a journey through the year where the word has evolved into something entirely different than the road i envisioned. and usually i am in awe of how God used that word. this year was strange.  looking back on the goals i set, i see failure, not awe.  now before you go and tell me i am not a failure, i did fail at the goals i set.  truly.  goal 1:  grow and develop in a healthy way.  nope.  ending the year with extra instead of less.  attempted, yet didn't follow through on many health plans.  goal 2:  grow spiritually through meditation, scripture reading, and community.  nope.  ending the year with little reading and loss of church community that grieves me deeply. late fall i started pondering thes
