I'm in my final week of summer before work as a middle school teacher begins again. This time of year I'm always in a reflective mood. I look back and feel so lucky to have had this time with my kids. We went camping, biking, boating, golfing, and hiking. We celebrated my sister's wedding, we did projects together, watched movies, and just hung out at home. It really was everything that summer is meant to be. There were many events and plans that we canceled due to Covid, but we did all the most important things. We missed friends, but I also reveled in the togetherness with my little family unit. Today, I spent time registering for fall childcare and activities. It's less than usual, but still I can see the pace of our lives picking up. As we move into a season of more busy-ness, more work, and likely more stress, this poem sums up the feelings I'm experiencing....

I like it! I like it for all the reasons you listed. I think it fits that you and baby are, essentially, creating this together. The name has to appeal to you, really, and no one else. I say keep it :0).
ReplyDeleteOh, and I love the blog in general. AND I love the anointing of "Average." Took me a while to get where it came from, but I likes it!
Hi Rose,
ReplyDeleteWelcome home! I like reading your blog! I put a link to it on mine. Great gardening post. I learned a very important lesson this year too. Chickens will destroy broccoli, cauliflower, pumpkins, and tomatoes if you let them. Good thing they're so cute, eh? I just got the book Gardening West of the Cascades and I'm loving it. Next year will be my year, I tell you.
As for your blog name - it is good in that it is memorable, but it's quite long. What about just www.mommyandsweetpea.blogspot.com? Or, maybe that was already taken? Do you want to walk sometime this week? Maybe we could do Ridgeline again.
