Between working from home, basic hygiene, nourishment needs, relational needs, the holidays, oh...being pregnant, a one-year old, volunteering…yeah, I don’t seem to have time for my writing luxury these days. I have missed you all! Thanks for being patient and...

I don’t want to go that deep.

by Kimberly Pelletier | Aug 27, 2012 | 0 Comments

I feel like I really liked Elsa up until about two weeks ago. Recently, things have been challenging. Not so much because of the sleeping, the eating, or even the crawling…but because of the needing. She seems to fancy little else than me. I can’t make reason to it,...

Summertime!

by Kimberly Pelletier | Aug 8, 2012 | 0 Comments

August here and I have not posted since June! This points to nothing other than a full summer of activity, family, friends, and visitors. Since my last post we have survived the highest heat for any July on record; began eating from our CSA box (never a dull...

Labyrinth

Our Son Would Turn 5 Years Old Today

Five years ago I gave birth to a baby boy but the only cries in that delivery room were from those of us grieving his silence. He was stillborn in my sixth month due to a severe case of Amniotic Band Syndrome. Almost 3 kids later, his death, at times, can feel like a...
