  • Farmer’s Market in the Fall

    October 14, 2011 /

    The Farmer’s Market is at its pinnacle of glory in the weeks leading up to Halloween. I took the boys and camera to get our annual pumpkin pictures and to pick up some fig trees and blueberry bushes. It was a forgetful afternoon. Not only did I forget the memory card for the camera, but I also forgot the names of the figs and blueberries I purchased. I know I didn’t get Turkey figs – I opted for the sweeter,…

  • Putting Down Roots

    October 9, 2011 /

    We have had quite a few friends over the years head out across the country to Portland, Seattle, College Station, TX and Davis, CA. As I see pictures of their adventures along the rocky coast, under a big sky, in chilly winters, my heart aches a little for exploration – more so than just a vacation. I long for a life-altering adventure. As a high school student I was determined that I would one day live in Montana, preferably near…

    We took the boys to Tennessee for Labor Day weekend to visit my family. We fished, played, cooked, feasted and hit the road right after the start of the biggest day long rainfall Chattanooga has ever seen.

  • Teaching Grace to my Little Gardener

    August 30, 2011 /

    Last week a friend of mine posed the challenge of making the most of teaching moments with my little boys. One concept I long for them to understand is grace – recognizing how and when to give it and knowing when it is given to them. The Baby is still too young, but he certainly presents plenty of oportunities for his big brother to show him grace. As their mommy, I’m learning that discipline and grace are equally important acts…

  • Boys and the “Wild”

    August 11, 2011 /

    Living in downtown Raleigh, there isn’t much “wild” to be found. My ultimate wilderness escape  includes tall trees, cool air and a mountain stream, but when not the mountains, I prefer my wild to be manicured and safe for letting two small boys run around and explore. This makes the J.C. Raulston Arboretum one of my favorite urban escapes. This week the temperatures dipped into the low 90s with cooler mornings. Two mornings in a row I took the boys…
