Rubina often presents some interesting topics during our evening bedtime banter; anything to stall and fill the short space of time between adamantly protesting her sleepiness and her sweet, little snores. She's presented many questions over the years during this time... Last night, after singing each of her favorite songs [twice] she quietly said, "Mommy, … Continue reading Learn to be a Ninja…

Threads of Tradition | Throwback to a Sweet, Little Sweater and Traditions that Bind
(Left, me 1984 | Right, Rubina 2015) These photos thrill me. I love seeing Rubina in the same sweater I wore as a little girl. I delight in any opportunity to share with my precious Ruby. Especially pieces of my childhood. You may think I'm a terrible mother, but I found so much joy in … Continue reading Threads of Tradition | Throwback to a Sweet, Little Sweater and Traditions that Bind
Block & Flow
Feast...Famine. All...Nothing. My previous post was about my excitement of beginning another year and all of the blank space splayed out before me. The truth is that since writing those words I've really struggled in the first days of 2015; to find motivation, to complete my to-do lists, to follow through and to really live well. … Continue reading Block & Flow
Blank, Fresh Space…
And so here I sit, cozy and content on the first day of a new year; my husband seated at the other end of the couch taking in a football game (Go Ducks!!) and my little Rubina fully enveloped in her creative and playful imagination. I sit here thinking of the days ahead to be … Continue reading Blank, Fresh Space…
throwback to a preemie named rubina…
I missed World Prematurity Day on Monday so I'm making up for it now. Rubina was born at exactly 30 weeks; 2 full months early. We were terrified. Because her early arrival was so unexpected none of our family had arrived in Denver so we were alone. While, we would have loved to have our parents … Continue reading throwback to a preemie named rubina…

I Can Never Be Better Than You…
Kevin and I moved to Denver nearly five years ago and have been incredibly blessed to develop friendships that feel more like family. These are a few of my sweet friends (the entire crew is not pictured here, unfortunately). They are our Denver family and I am so thankful for these women. They're incredible; each … Continue reading I Can Never Be Better Than You…
‘nastics
Rubina started gymnastics or "'nastics" recently and is loving it. True, there is no scrunchie atop her head but she is still a gymnast 😉 The blurry photo above pretty much sums up every class...constant movement and delight. She has yet to perfect her round-off back-handspring or uneven bar routine but we are loving the energy … Continue reading ‘nastics

Tomorrow is the day I'll run my first 5k. You can read my first post about it here: https://writtenbyresh.com/2014/09/08/runnnnnnn/ Again, I know that to so many of you running a 5k is not that big of a deal. To many of you it is just one more thing you'd check off your list like a stop … Continue reading tomorrow, i run…
