toddler style: toms boots, old navy floral leggings & hoodie, mama made hadley hat. (Adding the title of this post to my list of memoir slash country album titles.)

Thanksgiving Day 2014 I've been thinking a lot lately about the two different times zones that I live in: Elise Standard Time and Ellerie Standard Time.

(If you're new here, this is the original shoe story and here's the second shoe story.) Once upon a time, the shoe on the left looked like the shoe on the right. And then in just over two years (!) the shoe lived a full life. The shoe became "the main shoe" in the summer…

My "one little word" this year is WHOLE. (read more about olw here.) And for the most part it doesn't feel as "active" in my life as CHOOSE and BRAVE did the years prior. I think this is because "whole" feels like less of an action word. The definition is broad and I am not…
