Here we are! We're out of our shells - three family chicks who want to share our crazy, hazy, sometimes lazy, and definitely phase-y life with you.
We want to encourage you to keep going - because I, (Yaya) am old enough now to know that it is true, "this too shall (and really does) pass."
We want to support you as you experience new challenges because we have "been there, done that, and then had to wash the dog-gone t-shirt." Maybe we haven't been in exactly the same circumstance, but raising children, maintaining a home, managing responsibilities, experiencing loss and living in relationship are places we all visit.
We want to make you laugh by laughing at ourselves because again, we have "been there, but we didn't quite do it, and the bloody t-shirt is still in the laundry with everything else we want to wear."
But what we really want is to bless your day. I (Yaya) grew up in a church where we were told only the priest could give a blessing. It made me think that the priest must be somebody really special. For many, many years I lived my life looking at others as more special than I. But now I know that just being me is special. There is no greater blessing than to give who you really are to another and to be who you really are in this world.
Therefore we three chicks will be giving you us - posts about our family, our friends, our favorite foods or newest dinner discovery, our latest craft craze or decorating delight, maybe a few of our frustrations and fears and how we have learned to recover and repair (that could include emotions as well as furniture).

Note: I am still trying to understand the technology part of blogging and have not perfected (if one ever does) the comment section. If you want to leave a comment, click on the comment label at the end of each post. It will open a box for you to type in. Then you will have to type a security word. If you do not have a blog, website, or Google account of your own you will have to choose the Anonymous button. But we cannot reply to your comment unless we know who you are..... so if you are Anonymous, please sign your comment with your initials or name. We want to reply to everyone. Thanks!
