It’s been a crazy few days. Dave took this week off. Ten whole days of not working. Awesome. And yet, five days in to this “vacation,” I feel far less rested than you might imagine. I’ve been telling everyone (who will listen) that we are having a non-vacation type of [...]
When you are a parent, and insanely busy, having time to yourself is priceless. In this family, between Dave and I, we have a pact. Each of us picks a night of the week to have to ourselves. Typically he picks Friday and I pick Monday. As soon as the workday [...]
Life has been moving at an incredible pace lately. There are many many days I don’t even have time to stop and think about what day it is or what month.. I attribute much of this to just being a mother of two small children. Time flies, life goes by so fast. My [...]
This is a story I have never really told. It’s something I rarely tell anyone about. But it’s something that I have been thinking about. It’s part of my journey right now. And somehow I feel that by writing about it, and sharing it, I honor the memory of this terribly [...]

But honestly it’s not the physical vulnerability that has been getting to me lately. I can handle the skin, and the sweat, I [...]
One of the hardest parts about being a mom is that you never know from one moment to the next what your life is going to be like. Some days are hard, some are easy. Some days everything falls into place. The kids are happy, the house is clean, life seems to [...]
Maybe it’s the sunshine. Maybe it’s just a good day. I am so happy. I want to write a quick blog so that later in the week (or even later today) if this happiness slips away I can come back to this post and remind myself of all the amazing blessings in [...]
I come to this blog tonight not even sure what I want to say. It’s been a long week and a short week all at the same time. I have been doing so much this week and writing has kind of been on the bottom of the pile. I found out today [...]
