Nudge

Sometimes we are faced with circumstances in our lives that nudge us in a new direction.

To get on with it. Move forward.

Even if we are scared, even if we might fall.

If we try, with a little help, soon we are on our way.

Good for her!!

LOVE your yard.

Holly said...

I'm so glad I grabbed my camera!

She's pretty proud of herself and we're proud of her too. We better get her a new bike helmet pronto.

She was riding her bike on our driveway, which thankfully is kinda long, so it gives her a safe place to practice.

Beautifully said Holly! Looks like she just needed a little nudging that's all.

Holly, it was so good to hear from you today! You are inspiring me with all your lovely home projects. I wish shopping in my garage would yield such treasures! Any ideas about what to do with two cracked plastic sleds and a broken fridge?

Let me know what you think of the Elegance of the Hedgehog (or I'll check in on GoodReads :)

I found your blog through randomly clicking on a few of Jill's followers...
You are so creative and awesome, I just couldn't resist telling you!
Your decorating style is one class act!

I love this sweet little post about your daughter...if that isn't the cutest thing, then I don't know WHAT is!!!

Carry on, my friend, carry on--

Great way to capture this BIG moment of independence in your child's life.

I am a SITS blogger and you were above me on the blogroll. You have a great site and some great stuff in your garage. All we have is old cans of paint and some tools!

I write to encourage moms as they raise their little people. Stop by if you get a chance between making curtains and redecorating!
