Live, love, laugh…

October 1, 2011January 25, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 6 Comments

There are two ways to live: you can live as if nothing is a miracle; you can live as if everything is a miracle. ~ Albert Einstein So dear I love him, that with him all deaths I could endure, without him live no life. ~ John Milton We should consider every day lost on … Continue reading Live, love, laugh…

Mommy loves you…

September 28, 2011January 5, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 25 Comments

When we first discover we are going to be parents, we have all these dreams of what our children will be like and how much we will impart to them. Will they share in our love of art or music? Will they one day excel in sports? Will one be a writer, another an actor … Continue reading Mommy loves you…

A friend in need

September 20, 2011January 6, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 11 Comments

When my son was about six months old he was seriously injured. For the purpose of this post, it’s not important what his injuries were or the details of his accident.

September 14, 2011January 5, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 20 Comments

The following post, published almost exactly one year ago, was written at a time when I was struggling mightily with some overwhelming issues with my son. He was in a very dark place because of some medical problems, that at the time seemed unsurmountable. I was literally drowning in worry and helplessness. During this past … Continue reading Life is beautiful

Zucchini Spaghetti

September 12, 2011January 6, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 10 Comments

My grandmother made this dish for me when I was a kid. If you knew her, you would understand why this was totally out of character for her. She was the iconic Southern Grandmother. Her table was laden with artery-hardening comfort food - biscuits, fried chicken, gravy, home-canned green beans made with fat back, mashed … Continue reading Zucchini Spaghetti
