I’m at a loss for words. I have so much to say. I never would have guessed that I’d be writing about this here – on this blog. I started this blog when I was pregnant with Cameron. I meant for it to capture my journey into and through motherhood. I wanted to reflect on…
Bring on the Golf!
While I was browsing Twitter this weekend, I noticed that someone wondered if there would be many “golf widows” this weekend. If it wasn’t for my husband, I would have paid no attention to that tweet. But because Dan was so excited about it, I knew that The Masters was being played over the weekend….
I Knew You
This verse has been so important to me in this last week (and again a few months ago). There is very little comfort in losing a pregnancy, but the knowledge that someone loves my baby(ies) as much, if not more than I do gives me some peace. I am picturing Jesus cradling my children in his arms….
Funky Friday
I am having one of those days where the tears flow easier than the laughter. But! It is Friday. And so, because it is Friday, and because I need to find and share joy, I want to share this video. So, if you can, get up and dance. And if you have no other reason,…
It Happens Without Me
Kids hurt themselves. I’m not completely naive as to believe that this doesn’t happen. Children are learning to navigate and understand this world. Everything is new. Each movement, each discovery, each taste is something to add to their repertoire of experiences. They try, they test, and they do things that are completely foreign and exciting…
"Mother" Platform
Politics are one of those things that I don’t really talk about much. Religion? Sure, let’s start that conversation! Sex? An appropriate topic of occasion. But politics? Well, I get into politics with very few people. Because in this democracy, either you care about politics or you don’t. Either you are informed or you are…
Breast Man
I am a big proponent of breastfeeding. Alright, I don’t push women into choosing to breastfeed or chastize them for choosing formula. I don’t give the stink eye to Mamas as they pull out their bottles to feed their little ones. I do wish Mamas felt more comfortable to breastfeed in public, even without covering up…
Old and Married
9:00 That’s what the clock blinked as I crawled into bed. On Friday night. Nine. O. Clock. P.M. Nine o’clock on a Friday night used to mean that I only had a couple hours left of a waitressing shift. Nine o’clock on a Friday night used to mean that it was time to put on…
iPhoneography: Fortunate
On Monday, the coffee shop in my office building was offering free fortune cookies. I obviously was not about to pass up a free cookie, so I grabbed one and juggled it amongst the coffee and the muffin that were, unfortunately, not also free. You will make a change for the better. That isn’t really…
Thankful Thursday: March Edition
Today marks the last day of March. And of course, we find Cameron sick again. Let me just say, I’ve been waiting for this day for a while. March has just thrown a lot of hard stuff our way. And I’m really just ready for it to be over. I’m ready for a fresh start….
Birthday Month! Floating On Air
Birthday Month Part One: Party Planning Birthday Month Part Two: Icing on Top I like to do everything myself. I have grandiose ideas in my head that I can only imagine myself fulfilling. And I would never want to saddle these elaborate schemes on loved ones. So when people offer to help, I usually just…
