fifteen things

So, in the spirit of sharing, Connor and I talked about how nectar is expelled this weekend and how it’s not technically the result of bees vomiting, but instead regurgitating from an organ just off to the side of their stomach. Anyway, I need to do that right now … in list form. Because, frankly, I have a whole lot of stuff swirling in my brain and since it’s not in my stomach I won’t be vomiting, technically.

In an effort to ~~bribe~~ request Connor’s help with my latest project tonight, I promised him that instead of a shower we could go swimming instead. I know, I know … my award is in the mail. Continue reading →

sometimes, quotes help

I’m not sure if Pinterest is behind the massive number of quotes floating around the InterWebs as of late, but I have to admit … I don’t hate it. As a person who talks a lot, thinks a lot and writes some, words can be extremely powerful to me. I appreciate the sharing of inspirational quotes. Too often, we hear things throughout the day that bring us down; take us back to reality, if you will. A well-timed quote (or Bible passage), however, can immediately improve my spirits. It may be brief and some people may think I’m crazy … I would also bet they don’t feel the same way about quotes … but it’s possible. And sometimes, all I need is possible.

Tonight, I needed a quote. I started with Pinterest. Sure, there were several I already pinned that I like, but then I remembered this one that a friend shared via email last night:

Life is like a camera: focus on what’s important, capture the good times, & develop from the negatives. ~Unknown~

I liked it. I liked it a lot. Why? I like pictures. I like words. I like feeling better.

What does it mean to do-it-yourself? I guess, typically, one would assume that DIY entails tackling a project from start to finish. Say you’re going to build a chair. This would require a myriad of materials like wood, paint, nails, bolts, sandpaper, a drill … the list goes on. Continue reading →

a froggy chorus

Posted on Sunday, May 20th, 2012 by staci

Connor and I were wandering the other night and happened upon the frogs that have been singing to us as of late. It would seem that the pond outside our windows is home to what could be the largest frog population … in the world. Continue reading →
