Back Bloggin'



So I totally fell off the blogging bandwagon for awhile. A long while! But, I'm back...hoping to be able to blog on some kind of regular basis...well, that is my intention anyway.

Looking back and reading some of my old blog entries helped to conjure up sweet memories especially of my children growing up this past year. Though sounding quite cliche, time sure flies. I think maintaining this blog helps to preserve those joyful memories and keep them alive in my heart and mind. I was able to share a few entries with my older daughter who also enjoyed taking a walk down memory lane with me.

My girls completely remind me of one of my favorite picture books about sisters. It's called Big Sister, Little Sister by Leuyen Pham who is an awesome children's author and illustrator. This book is absolutely darling in both text and illustrations, celebrates sisterhood, and is perfect for big and little sisters to read together. It resounds with me since I am a big sister to my little sister. It is certainly a blessing and a privilege to be a sister.

In Leuyen Pham's words, "The Big one gets new clothes. The Little one gets hand-me-downs. The Big one does everything first. The Little one is always catching up But the little one can do some things well, and can even teach the older one a thing or two..." I just adore this book!
