Snapshots from the domestic front

Yes, life is To Do Lists, schedules, reading lists, lunch boxes, and a seemingly never-ending cycle of sweeping, dishes, and laundry that threaten to drown me in the sheer Sisyphean futility of it all ...

But it is also jammies made with love from fabric the girl selected herself, blueberry muffins requested for a birthday morning breakfast, a handknit hat finished for the husband, flower seeds for a child's very own garden bed, and hand-written recipe cards.  There are always the little highlights, and it helps me to stop and remember those.
