Sharing is Caring

"Sharing is caring, Isaac." I watched as Isaac processed the words spoken to him by his big sister. She had reminded him of this novel idea, while sitting at the kitchen table; however I missed the first part of the conversation. Isaac responded, " Benaiah share with me, Railene share, and Ava share with me; … Continue reading Sharing is Caring →

Brutalizing Weeds, Planting Seeds and Farming with my Family

Hey folks and welcome back to another post. I’ve been farming on my days off, and boy! have we had beautiful weather for it.

Ode to Newfoundland Fog

Cold. Damp. Mysterious. A fog horn sounds: guiding you home. One minute you're walking on a gravel path, the next your enveloped in a thick blanket of grey.

Short and Sweet: Slowly Developing Patience…Very Slowly.

"Fireeeee truck. Fire TRUCK!!! Here comes the firreeee truck." Maybe if I roll over, the song will stop? Grabbing the blankets, I pulled them to the top of my neck and turned onto my side. Silence.

Short and Sweet: Eating with Camels, and Losing Our Imaginations

Not exactly your Marvel Avenger's line up, but I've got a feeling The Eason Clan could overwhelm one villain if we worked together - maybe a lame sounding character like Egghead or Asbestos Lady (yes, actual Marvel villains). Shout out to my friend XerxesInEaster, for the awesome image she created for us: Isaac's super speed, … Continue reading Short and Sweet: Eating with Camels, and Losing Our Imaginations →

Short and Sweet: “Look me in the eyes!” and Learning To Reject Unhelpful Anger – The Biblical Way

TheEasonClan Copyright. Created by XerxesInEaster It seems that as time passes by, the comical drama reaches another level here at the Clan. Whether it's Isaac's funny facial expressions - that probably would have made Jim Varney crack a smile - or Ava's abrupt comments that can stop you in your tracks; the Twins keep ramping … Continue reading Short and Sweet: “Look me in the eyes!” and Learning To Reject Unhelpful Anger – The Biblical Way →

Echoes: The Importance Of Yours

Photo by Elisabeth Fossum on Pexels.com Have you ever shouted in a tunnel or bellowed from a hilltop? What did you hear? Chances are you heard an echo. Sound waves are quite interesting actually. Once you speak, the sound travels outwards and toward an object, which then reflects the sound back towards you. Psychologically, your … Continue reading Echoes: The Importance Of Yours →
