Here we go again! We were ready with snow pants, jackets, boots, mittens and hats on a Friday morning when our first taste of winter arrived. This snow will probably melt away, but cool weather is predicted for the weekend, so sleds and snow boards are already out and in use. It is best to embrace it! Cheers to winter weather, this 27th day of October. Oh, but I hope you do not last until May. ❄️

A trip to the shore....
Sharing a couple of snapshots of some of our time together as a family this past weekend on a trip to the shore. Over the weekend James and I marked our 15th wedding anniversary. We celebrated in style, in comparison with our tribe of children on a trip to the shore. We biked, hiked, explored and made memories together on the edge of the big lake.
Counting our blessings as we embark on our 16th year of married, family life.

mothering.com - the end of a chapter
These images reflect all of the posts that I have had the privilege of writing for the publication mothering.com.
I recently decided to stop contributing, in my constant effort to stay grounded with purpose, balance, connection and joy.
Writing for mothering.com provided me much opportunity to grow as a writer. I am grateful for the opportunity and proud to have these posts to share with the world.
Stay tuned to see where my path of writing turns to next!
