Sometimes we plan our journey and discover that it is a smooth ride on a straight road. Other times the road we’re on is full of twists and turns. Sometimes it’s full of pot holes. Sometimes there will be a Y in the road or hit a dead end. There are times we may needContinue reading “Planning the Journey”

Things that Make You Go WHAT?!
Those sudden realizations that cause your mouth to drop open as you say WHAT?! have been happening quite a bit lately. Like today for example . . . We went to the passport office at the post office today to apply for Arryn’s first passport and to renew Naomi’s passport. We were asked if weContinue reading “Things that Make You Go WHAT?!”
Learning Something New
Hubby and I have been trying to learn Spanish. We have been using Duolingo for just over a month now and it’s slow going. Today it was suggested to me that we start watching some old television series in Spanish to help us learn a bit faster. Now we get to try and find someContinue reading “Learning Something New”
Happy Story
The news is full of stories that don’t do anything more than point out how horrible things are in the world. How much better would we be as people and a society if more effort were put into sharing stories that bring joy and happiness into people’s lives. Let’s take for example the recent storyContinue reading “Happy Story”
Life Decisions Don’t Come Easy
I can remember how, as a child, I was anxious to grow up and live my own life. No more living under my parent’s rules. Doing anything I wanted to do. Going anywhere I wanted to go. Life would be good! Oh how those childhood dreams come crashing down when reality sits in. Adulting isContinue reading “Life Decisions Don’t Come Easy”
I Did It
I actually managed to write a post a day for an entire week!!! Will daily posts continue? Sometimes yes and sometimes no. I will however, continue to blog on a much more regular basis. There is enough happening in the World of Weeks that I will certainly have things to share. So share it will!
Learning a New Language
Hubby and I had a discussion about regrets recently. Sometimes we have regrets about things we can’t do anything about now. Other times we have regrets about things that we didn’t do, but have the ability to change. And part of life is taking chances. One of the regrets I have is not learning aContinue reading “Learning a New Language”
The Last 13 Years
13 years ago this month we brought Lili home from Guatemala. 11 years ago this month we brought Naomi home from Ethiopia. We thought we would add another child to our family, but our attempts seemed to keep hitting dead ends. Until January, 2018 when Arryn entered our lives and we were eventually able toContinue reading “The Last 13 Years”
Fun Little Games
Many evenings after dinner and before we’ve left the table to begin the clean-up, we’ll play some fun little game. Hubby will begin a song and we have to see who can name the title and artist of the song first. Sometimes he’ll start the game of “most likely” where he asks a question andContinue reading “Fun Little Games”
Living Outside the Box
Hubby and I have been having some deep conversations about the importance of not conforming to other’s expectations. If we want to live our most authentic life, we should never allow our life to be dictated by fear of judgement or fear of not fitting into that little box. Over the years, we have somehowContinue reading “Living Outside the Box”
