Where Roots Grow

Woods

November 14, 2019November 14, 2019Categories home, thoughts1 Comment on Woods

I know these woods -- the long drive to get here through the countryside; the dirt roads that can periodically almost jolt the teeth out of one's head; the leaves falling to the ground thick as thieves stealing away the greenery as seasons change; the growing scent of smoke in the air as we near…

I sit on the sugary-white-sand beach and watch my kids from a short distance. The waves are small. The sand is soft and clean. It's a family-friendly area, a beautiful location, and our comfortable, rented condo is directly behind us. My husband is nearby, too. I adore watching them play here. I am grateful for…

There is a running list in my head - a scoreboard, if you will - of all the things he's done wrong today; everything from dirty laundry on the bathroom floor to the open closet door I've begged him to shut again and again. He didn't offer to fold laundry last night and the trash…

Girlfriends

“Boys and Girls, catch a bubble,” she almost yelled as she held her arms up like a football goal post. Just like that, thirteen rowdy preschool children filled their cheeks with air and became completely silent. I was in awe, possibly in love, and fairly convinced I should quickly get a degree in early childhood…

Enough

Every day I do my best. But every day I know I could do better. When is my best enough? Day after day, I cook and clean, shop, plan and pay. I procrastinate too. I kiss my husband. I spend time with our children and always try to find more fun, educational things to do. I…

Keeping plants indoors during winter is much like cabin fever for humans. They need humidity, crave sufficient sunshine, and wither in the cold air.

ca·ma·ra·de·rie /ˌkäməˈrädərē/ (noun) mutual trust and friendship among people who spend a lot of time together — Here’s a funny thing we debated at Camp: Do you pronounce it com•rod•ry or comma•rod•ary? • • • #camaraderie #deercamp #outintheozarks #natgeo #natgeoyourshot #camping #teamcanon #arkansas #clickmagazine #createcommune #transfer_visions #moodygrams #createandcapture #visualsoflife #justgoshoot #gooutside #family #follow_this_light #adobe #photoshop #campfire #wonderfularkansas #galleryoflightfeature
I spent the weekend drinking strong, gritty coffee made over a wood-burning fire pit surrounded by a tight-knit group of friends and family discussing random things, like how to properly cook ground meat and which two celebrities we’d like to bring to camp. (I think the overall consensus was Tom Selleck and Katharine Hepburn, among several other greats.) I also slept in the back of my Jeep — seats folded down — for the first time, which is a (weird) dream come true. I enjoyed the most peaceful drive I’ve had alone in a long time and only mildly missed the huge car seats that normally occupy the entire back seat. Though I felt the slightest hint of mom-guilt for leaving my little family all weekend, I needed this break. — (Read more on the blog.
