I started my #zentangle practice again. It’s so satisfying! If you’re a doodler and need a contemplative, stress-reducing creative hobby during this crazy time, I *highly* recommend Zentangle. All you really need is a pencil, a Micron pen, and some decent art paper cut into 3-4” squares. #zentangleart #zentangleartist #zentanglelovers #homeschoollife #homeschoolmama #everydayart #joyfulordinary #momschool #momschooling #thursdayvibes

27 years today! We’ve walked through so much. Fertility issues. Pregnancy loss. Moving across the country, back again, to an island in the pacific, back again, and many more. We’ve had periods of barely two nickels to run together, to now my husband being in his dream career and me being able to be a stay at home, homeschooling mom (it’s easier when you have your child in your late 30s, LOL). Some couples say, “We never fight! It’s all been wedded bliss!” That’s not our story. We have walked through deep hurts and misunderstandings and ruts. Our story is painful and wonderful and full of adventure. Now, having been married 27 years, I can say this with utter certainty: love is a choice you make, over and over. It’s not a feeling (that’s a side effect). Love is choosing to forgive, again and again. It’s seeing every flaw and choosing still. It’s intentional. ❤️🥰 #27thanniversary #happyspousehappyhouse #faithfulfriday #itcanbedone #anniversaryday 
Today’s walk came with an ocean view. In the PNW in the winter - I revel in blue skies and sunshine when I can get them! ❤️ I’m just LOVING @99walks... joining was the best decision! 
My dear friend @heyheyswalkaday inspired me to take up walking this year. Because I like presents, I joined @99walks -they have a lovely community and send you a bracelet every month you achieve your goals! It was a beautiful morning. I said hello to several deer, the mountains, and the ocean. It was half uphill (OMG I am out of shape) and half downhill... 1.10 miles round trip. 20 miles is my January goal. ❤️😍
