Chocolate Chips and Snickerdoodles....: December 2013
http://chocolatechipsandsnickerdoodles.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 31, 2013. A Riveting Review of 2013. Oh, my. I went from a frequent blogger to a weekly blogger to a monthly blogger.to an annual blogger? Such a twist of reasons why I have been more infrequent. Lots to share, lots I didn't want to share. Probably the biggest reason is just time. I didn't want to use my time in this way. Most of that I don't regret, but some of it I do. I regret the moments I didn't get "scrapbooked" on here this year. But whadayado? And an early Easter. In April, Alex...

Chocolate Chips and Snickerdoodles....: What I Love
http://chocolatechipsandsnickerdoodles.blogspot.com/2014/02/what-i-love.html
Tuesday, February 25, 2014. There's a new love in my life. I'm not throwing that word around loosely, this is a LOVE in my life. This is a bit of a public service announcement, because I think the word needs to be spread. Spread to where? I don't know, because everyone I excitedly share this with says, "Oh, yes, I love those! Well, then, why have you never told me? Someone finally did, a friend of my daughter.and now I'm in love. So, via a little Facebook conversation, I came to know another of my new lo...

Chocolate Chips and Snickerdoodles....: September 2013
http://chocolatechipsandsnickerdoodles.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 9, 2013. Okay 44. That's a pretty great number, I think. 44 years old, as of today. For some reason, this number has been rolling around in my mind for a few days. Well, I guess because I've been contemplating being 44. In the midst of my contemplating, I kept coming around to one of my favorite songs: 10,000 Reasons:. It just feels so good, too. Speaking truth to ourselves is so crucial, especially when we are surrounded by so much "downcast". The grumblers, the ungrateful, the...You'r...

Chocolate Chips and Snickerdoodles....: March 2013
http://chocolatechipsandsnickerdoodles.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 7, 2013. Oh, it's been awhile. Again. And so much much has been happening, but there will be a better time for catching up all of that. I think. For now, I thought I would get some moments captured of the characters I work with. Today was the big Character Day at school, celebrating the end of reading month and Dr. Seuss's birthday! Gives one hope for this next generation! And the grown-ups get in on the fun, too! Thing 1, Skippy John Jones, and Thing 2. Another darling Amelia Bedilia and...

Chocolate Chips and Snickerdoodles....: June 2013
http://chocolatechipsandsnickerdoodles.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, June 29, 2013. Unnecessary (but much-loved) Sweetness. It's no surprise or secret that I'm a tad fond of my kids. They are good people. I love them, of course, but I LIKE them too. I have a bright and sparkly example of their uber-sweetness. This morning, it was off to a lab for a blood draw for one, everyone else home and happy and busy. After some yard work this morning, Brad and I were off for an exciting date to the carwash. But before we left, we were presented with this:. Both of you have...

Chocolate Chips and Snickerdoodles....: Things That Make Me Go Hmmmmm...
http://chocolatechipsandsnickerdoodles.blogspot.com/2014/01/things-that-make-me-go-hmmmmm.html
Monday, January 13, 2014. Things That Make Me Go Hmmmmm. I have had a couple months, well much longer for some subjects, of things making me go "Hmmmm." Things that I have chased in circles in my mind, trying to figure out. Some of those things I have given up and let go. Still chasing in my mind, still making me go "Hmmmm.":. Downton Abbey. Hmmm. Hmmm. Hmmm. Anna? Oh, bless her. I see a pregnancy coming, an enraged husband perhaps? A new romance on the horizon? Torn between love and scandal. Hmmm. Is Pe...

Chocolate Chips and Snickerdoodles....: April 2013
http://chocolatechipsandsnickerdoodles.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 19, 2013. It's Good For the Soul. This week has been filled with tough images, huh? Distraught faces, grieving faces, angry faces. And there is just no making sense of all this. I do not understand how a 19-year old could be filled with such hatred, a total disregard to life. It makes one think about this world we live in. Is evil taking over? Is the bad bigger than the good? Watching the city of Boston respond reminds me that people are good. Two evil people don't change that. I'm Sorry To...

Chocolate Chips and Snickerdoodles....: 20 Years
http://chocolatechipsandsnickerdoodles.blogspot.com/2015/03/20-years.html
Sunday, March 15, 2015. Simple. If you want to keep reading, read on! And I love ya either way. The truth is a brain tumor fought her for 23 years, from the time I was 3 years old. Lots and lots of good years in there, but a part of our life. She fought that ugly thing so hard. In some ways, the brain tumor took her. She would have recently turned 76. I don't even know how to imagine that. In the same way, back then I could not have imagined myself at 45. Strange how time does that. My heart hurts with y...
