Even though my progress through the house-cleaning has been slow lately, I can see more clear spaces and organization. I even find myself annoyed when I leave fabric or yarn where it shouldn't be (which will be a great thing once I'm in a tiny space). I've gotten a few bins here and there and… Continue reading Hesitations
Conversations & Coffee
Lately, I've been taking a very hard look at how I use the things around my house and realizing that some of them are just not going to work in an RV. My French press, for example. To those who've never used one, you add fresh grounds to the carafe, pour in some boiled water,… Continue reading Conversations & Coffee
Memory Lane and New Paths
Now that the issue with Brianna's school has been settled, it's time to focus again on my plans as well as work on a few projects I have going. One of those projects is a story of my childhood that I intend to share with my dad since he didn't know me while I was… Continue reading Memory Lane and New Paths

A quiet hush
This morning I woke to a wonder-filled world covered in snow. It was so quiet that I could hear the snowflakes landing on the ground. I stood on my doorstep a moment to take it all in. Off to the right, in the distance, I could hear a cardinal beginning the first song of the… Continue reading A quiet hush
Slowly, slowly

Oh, I have ideas of adding insulation, possibly the under-floor heating, and lots of wooly rugs, but will that be enough? I know that I could just drive somewhere where the temperatures are a little nicer,… Continue reading Slowly, slowly
A little less clutter
I've been working more and more on clearing things out so that I can be closer to ready when it's time to go. My old dresser has a new home, pots & pans have been sorted, clothes are chosen, even jewelry has been gone through. Most of these things are still in the house, but… Continue reading A little less clutter
A Big Step Forward
Yesterday I opened The Raven's Cauldron! I'll admit that I was pretty worried about several things, but I can't exactly figure out why. I've asked myself if it was the fear of not making any sales or maybe that no one would like the shop or that I would just lose the passion for it.… Continue reading A Big Step Forward
One Lovely Blog Award
I have to admit that I'm a little bit teary-eyed. I know, I know, that's something silly, but it's been a long weekend and I'm just now sitting down to get caught up on things. When I checked in here I see that I've been nominated by Heather at Donning the Crescent for my blog. Dearest… Continue reading One Lovely Blog Award
Fear of the unknown
As I continue going through my days and looking at how I use things around my house as well as how often I use them, I keep checking out the other blogs about traveling. Andy Baird, for example, has dozens of wonderful ideas to keep your travel plans running smoothly. (His page, his pinterest.) For… Continue reading Fear of the unknown
