A Mom's Year

Creating a comfortable life one moment at a time

July 8, 2011

Happy Weekend

First of all, I must say “Happy Anniversary” to two of our oldest and dearest friends. Thank you for getting married and having babies at the same time as us so we could enjoy this crazy ride together. Your romance is an inspiration to all who know you. Don’t you think it’s true that “a successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person”? (Mignon McLaughlin said that and I totally agree.)

While our friends are enjoying their anniversary, here are some fun things for the rest of us:

  • Cute family reunion tees.
  • I love these free alphabet cards. My kids are a little old to use these for room decor, but wouldn’t they be cute as gifts or even gift tags?
  • A fun project for the younger set using water noodles.
  • I don’t know what’s come over me lately, but I’ve been thinking a lot about sewing. Especially when I see something like these citrus coasters.
  • A list of what to bring to Paris. Will and I plan imaginary trips daily, and Paris is one of our top 5 dream destinations.
  • A mindful way to look at your day.
  • Homemade rainbow pops.

Have a great weekend! I hope to see you again on Monday.

Welcome

Hello! My name is Shannon Taylor. I'm a long-time writer and editor from Minnesota surprised to find myself on an island in the Pacific Northwest. I'm sharing this adventure with my husband, four kids, and two dogs. I “published” my first newsletter when I was nine, and I’ve loved sharing ideas, stories, and information ever since. I hope you find something here to inspire you and help you create a comfortable, cozy life.

Will’s rowing coach sends daily updates that sta Will’s rowing coach sends daily updates that start with quotes like “The most dazzling human achievements are, in fact, the aggregate of countless individual elements, each of which is, in a sense, ordinary” (Angela Duckworth, author of GRIT). I’m not sure if all the rowing parents are getting these or if it’s just me because Coach Bruce despaired of Will checking his messages, but I appreciate the encouragement and inspiration! There’s something special about people who love something so much they’re compelled to share it, even when they could be resting on their (literal Olympic) laurels, and Bruce Beall is definitely one of those people. Good coaches and teachers are truly a blessing and a gift. (Yes, the reality of this being Will’s last season is hitting me.) @bainbridge.island.rowing
