ring, originally uploaded by *momoc. So, I’ve been waiting for the right time to tell my sons that I was married before I married their dad. I got married to my college sweetheart and after six years, the simple phrase I give when people ask is that “we grew apart”. There is nothing simple about…

OM :: The Limpy Spindle
We had a scare with Scout this week. A limp that wouldn’t go away. Her mom, pictured here, passed away from a bone tumor in her leg. We took her to the vet and were reassured with x-rays that she just has arthritis and a bacterial infection from a tick bite. Meds will heal her….
OM :: The Little White Dog
Jane was her name and she was a feisty goddess of a dog. She passed away this week and I cried for her. I’m welling up now with tears… I’ve only known her through the wonderful photos that her human, Sarah, has taken of her and some of the blog posts I’ve read. But I…
OM :: The Dog Bite
bad intentions, originally uploaded by gagilas. While on vacation, Eli was bit by a dog. Its owner had left her dog outside a store to use the restroom. Eli walked out the door first and automatically reached out his hand to pet the dog. Quick nip. Long, ear-ringing wail. Bloody finger. Cowering dog. It was…
OM :: The Less is More
“…I don’t think I”m the only creative person who struggled with plunging too deeply into the rush of feeling creative and not being creative. And what is here applied to crafty blogs can be applied to other things. Reading food blogs without ever cooking more. Reading health food blogs without eating healthier. Reading productivity books…
OM :: The Making of Things
I’ve been meaning to purchase a set of wrist warmers for a couple winters now. I browse on Etsy and see sets I like and then never pull the trigger. This week I was browsing around again (when my hands were cold, of course) and realized I could make my own. I know enough about…
OM :: The Best Handwriting
Something that will never change, in my opinion, is the thrill of getting a letter or card in the mail. I used to send mail often to friends and family. I have a box of letters from when I was younger that have notes from pen pals and very special letters from my dad when…
OM :: The Trumpet vs. the Light Saber
Today, you get a little snapshot from my week, my moment… Star Wars has been a theme around here for awhile, especially for my youngest. My husband broke out his rarely used trumpet and a battle is born. Enjoy! ::: OM is *one moment* and is a meetup designed to notice & relish a moment…
OM :: The Ripple Effect
While working at home for the past few months, there is the almost constant sound of chainsaws, mixed in with other various tree maintenance equipment. The moaning and churning and grinding seems never-ending in the daylight hours. All this activity stems from the freak winter storm last October. We lost some of our trees. One…
OM Life With Boys Edition :: The WTW?
We are one of those families that I thought we weren’t going to be… we run from here to there, doing lots of different activities and ending up with a very full week of stuff to do. I drive a mom taxi and even typing that makes me cringe. But our bustling days are only…
