January

Is it January 22 already? Good heavens. This month is flying. I’ve been busy writing, revising my novel, blogging, mothering, cooking, running (more on that soon, and on Vitamin G), and a zillion other things I won’t bore you with. So, it hit me today that the first month of a new year is, now, almost gone. Wow. Just like that.

I love posting little snippets here on this blog, which I’ve started to think of as a scrapbook. How about that? A scrapbook that the world can see! And just because I don’t want to forget this wonderful month, here are a few little simple things and moments that I want to remember …

We have two young artists here in this house. Markers. Finger paint. Water colors. Crayons. Clay. Messiness.

Hanging around.

Thomas. Need I say more?

They’re absolutely cheesy, but I love my polka-dot rain boots–and the comfy bamboo liners–for my daily walk with the boys and the dog (lots of mud puddles to be had).

Bread, lots of bread, thanks to my new favorite bread cookbook.

Oh January 2010, you have been very nice. Simple. Busy. Happy (well, mostly). And delicious.
