Labels and Names Posted on June 11, 2015June 11, 2015 By pamela I’m mulling over a Kelly Crawford “quiverfull” article I read yesterday.

Creating Inspired Moments Posted on March 13, 2015March 21, 2015 By pamela I have a few Starbucks aprons I’ve picked up, second hand, along the way. One of them has a printed tape inside the top of the apron. I’m assuming it was positioned there so that it would be seen (and intentionally read) each time the barista positioned the neck strap… Read more
Baby days: ‘Groaning Cake’ Posted on January 29, 2015 By pamela These are exciting days as we eagerly anticipate the call that labour’s begun for the newest grandbaby. I feel as though I, too, have been nesting as I’ve been gathering things for the birthing day, excitedly anticipating, along with our son and daughter-in-law, the birth of this little one. Kate… Read more
Motherhood: A Call to Carry On Posted on August 15, 2013August 15, 2013 By pamela Carry on. When you’re drop dead tired and there’re still several hours and as many chores left to do at the end of the day: Carry on. When you have so much to do you don’t know how you’ll do it all: Carry on. When you have so many needs… Read more

What’s Pulling On Your Apron Strings? Posted on March 13, 2013 By pamela What’s Pulling on Your Apron Strings? That might sound like a strange title to the message I want to share with you today, but perhaps by the time you finish reading this letter, you’ll have an idea and perhaps realize some things you’ve been wanting to take care of for… Read more
Keeping Up Posted on January 29, 2013January 29, 2013 By pamela I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately… you know, keeping up. Not the Keeping up with the Joneses sort of keeping up, but the staying strong and keeping up with the times sort of keeping up. It’s been going on for awhile, but I hadn’t noticed it so much… Read more
Love what you do. Posted on January 7, 2013 By pamela You’ve likely heard the phrase: “Do what you love, love what you do.” Well… I got to thinking about that phrase sometime back and thought: one can’t always do that.

Empty Spaces Posted on January 1, 2013January 1, 2013 By pamela I don’t know what it is about “empty spaces” and my (and maybe your) insatiable need to fill them, but both are there: the empty spaces and the insatiable need to fill them. I guess I attempt to fill full spaces, too… but that’s another story for another day. I… Read more
