I don't really have time right now to write any in-depth articles or rants. Sometimes "Nifty Living" isn't so Nifty, but that's ok because this blog isn't about making you feel like my life is so much better than yours, because it isn't.  Fiona has had some serious speed-bumps lately as well. Cross your fingers for both of our families. We could use some good luck.
But that's not really important, is it?
What is important are the little things, not the big things. A compliment, a kiss at the door on the way to work, a phone call to a sick aunt, and actually listening to your kids and their silly stories. That stuff seems to pay off.

This morning we had three adorable 8 year-olds playing outside way to early for the neighbors to appreciate. I couldn't resist sitting on the porch listening to them and sipping my coffee. Life is really confusing right now, but for 20 minutes I was in my very own heaven. Then I grabbed my $9 vintage Polariod and finally nailed a perfect picture. It was so satisfying that I dragged Sky away from his book and made him pose for me too. You can tell that he thought this was a stellar idea.
