Pitiful is the person who is afraid of taking risks. Perhaps this person will never be disappointed or disillusioned; perhaps she won't suffer the way people do when they have a dream to follow. But when the person looks back - and at some point everyone looks back - she will hear her heart saying, "What have you done with the miracles that God planted in your days? What have you done with the talents God bestowed upon you? You buried yourself in a cave because you were fearful of losing those talents. So this is your heritage: the certainty that you wasted your life."
- Paulo Coelho
I'm finding it more difficult these days to bring my camera upstairs into the playroom where most of our activities take place. If we're already upstairs, I'm usually sitting down or have a baby in my lap and I don't really want to jet off to run and get the camera. Lazy? Yep. This will be the last two story home I buy, I tell you. Stairs and little kids don't mix. Anyway, enough about that. If it looks like most of these pictures were taken the same day it's because Ellie is quite fond of the dress she's wearing and wore it several times last week. She was into crafting last week so that's what we did, although I have no pictures of her playing with her sticker box (she spent quite a bit of time on stickers this week). She also hung her bird feeder she made in school only to discover that it disappeared by the next day - we told her the birdies ate it (a really big one named Levi... our dog). Ellie seems to be bored of our stuff here lately and I'm in the process of making some new activities. The last photos are of a family picture matching activity that my friend Elizabeth suggested. I printed off two different pictures of family members and Ellie has to match them with each other (she has grown bored of matching same objects). This was a big hit! Thanks Elizabeth!
TinyRaz.com is an ever popular blog of mine. It's dedicated to my two daughters, my very own Tiny Razzies. Most of you are very interested in Ellie & Julia, probably because they are so cute.
What I write about:
Mostly I write because I want to capture the two amazing children God has given to me. I don't want to forget a single moment, smile, cute phrase, or tantrum. I'm petrified that I'm going to forget what they were like and how much fun I had with them while they were growing up. Because they're going to be moving out of my house before I can turn around.
One more thing, because I had the space.
From time to time I will rant about my philosophies on education, child care, and nutrition. Things that pique my interest or ruffle my feathers. All centered around children or family life, of course.
