Welcome

Hello! My name is Shannon Taylor. I'm a former editor living in the woods of Wisconsin with my husband, four children, and lots of pets. I created this blog as a place to gather my thoughts and share ideas as I squeeze in some writing whenever the kids aren't looking.

My New Favorite Gift

Lexie got the sweetest birthday present from her friend Annika. Annika created an acrostic poem using Lexie’s name, and put it in a lovely frame. Isn’t this the best idea?

Annika said a friend made one forĀ her birthday and I’m sure Lexie will want to make them for her friends, too. I love the idea of one girl sitting down to think about what she truly likes and admires about someone…who passes it on to the next person…and so on…and so on….

The thing that I love most about this gift is that the girls are the exact age that Christina (Ani’s mother) and I were when we first met. It’s been such a blessing watching their friendship bloom since they were tiny babes. Thanks for the great idea, Ani!
