The Wonder of Cloth Diapering: Connecting to Nature and Nostalgia
As my belly grew and Little Wonder neared her arrival, I began to… freak out. Yes, about impending labor and delivery and raising a baby, but also about if I would follow through with cloth diapering! The cloth diapers were being gifted and the most adorable boho rainbow baby nursery was getting ready with my diaper cart full of all the essentials I needed to cloth diaper. I was being readied for my cloth diaper journey… Ok, here we go. I’m totally ready. Cloth diapering is easy, right? You’ve done the research. You’ve watched the videos. Wahhhh!

The Wonder of Cross-Stitch
Criss, cross, criss, cross… The steady sound of thread pulling through fabric is gently soothing as features form with each stitch and row. This was my first full cross-stitch that I have ever done and at first I was wondering if I would finish it in time and then I was wondering if I was just wasting time making a cross-stitch when I could be doing something else seemingly more productive or impactful.

Fireworks Made for Wonder
Gazing up into a canvas of darkness, a small light – like that of a shooting star – can be seen tracing its way across the night. Up and up and up it goes. Eyes follow in anticipation, guessing at what form it will take. A flash! A burst! An echoing boom! And that small, lonely light traveling across the darkness bursts into a hundred, each leaving a glittering trail as it cascades down to earth below. A firework show is never without ohh’s and ahh’s and it’s no wonder why. Sitting below, watching a night sky light up and cascade down, so close it seems you can…
