By Expatria Baby in family
Bored with folding laundry, she crept off into the closet, half closed door, and made faces, offered kisses, and watched her hair swing as she shook her head. (NB: This is the last image that was taken with my camera before my all-time favourite lens met an untimely end. So.) Continue reading »
Things to Read - Three Articles On How Children Play
By No Monsters in My Bed in family
1. Toddlers to Tweens: Relearning How To Play. According to this article, the combination of factory-made toys, organized activities, and helicopter parents is changing how children "play"; in fact many children no longer even know how "play" in a traditional sense. "For a host of reasons, today's children do not... Continue reading »
Conversations about Chickens
By Natural Suburbia in family
We spent most of the morning outside in our front garden with the chickens today. We watched as they sand bathed and then suddenly climbed into a tree to roost for a while. What I think I like the most about having these wonderful girls is the impact it has had on our family. Our children, especially adore each and... Continue reading »

Only in your imagination
By Adventures in Babywearing in family
Ivy asked me if monsters are real, and I said only in your imagination. And she said well I think they are real. I asked what they looked like and she said big and green with horns in their ears and they come at night. I reminded her... Ivy who is always with you? Without a beat: "Carter." "I mean Jesus. And God!"... Continue reading »
fort building
By kidnapped by suburbia in family
I am very very bad at building forts out of sheets. I barely get it up and somewhat stable, and then Lucy wants to climb on top of it. And then Emma gets upset that half of it caved in. And then SHE wants to climb on top of it. And then I take it all down and say that we’ll try again tomorrow. And then hope that... Continue reading »

By changinglanesblog in family
I feel I was preparing to let go, before Mosby was even born. I distinctly remember the clack of my high heels across the linoleum floor at the church daycare. He was 12weeks. I had cried the past eleven in preparation for that moment. I sat his carrier down. Held my breath and ran towards the door. The only way I... Continue reading »
