/ January 13, 2013Thanks, Geoff…not so much a poem but an observation that I’m writing each day for the month of January for The Mindful Writing Challenge…they are called “small stones”. It’s sponsored by Writing Our Way Home blog.
Having a quiet evening tonight and then up early to watch baby Mira tomorrow. 🙂
Have a nice week! xoxo

So loving my time with that little sweetheart…it’s the best. Thanks, Becca!
