Last night my husband and I watched a clip from an episode of Blue’s Clues. This popular children’s show, targeted at kids age 3-5, was centered on a pride parade, and a drag queen sang out about how proud these different families were to have same-sex parents or even pansexual and asexual family members. Blue’s…

Walking the Walk
This morning I texted my friend Debbie from the school parking lot after dropping off the little one. She was free, so I drove the short distance to her house and we did what we often do: walked and talked. We have a few differences, Debbie and I. Her children are grown, and she lived…
Gut Check
I had finally, finally, worked up the courage to have a diagnostic procedure done to determine the viability of my remaining tube. In a cold, sterile room, pantsless, I was bracing myself for impending unpleasantness when the doctor casually mentioned I’d have to take an antibiotic if they found a blockage because the liquid they…
Open-ish
Happy Tuesday. So, because I’m not exactly sure what to write about this morning, I thought it would be a great time to tell you something I’ve avoided talking about. My hooha. More specifically, the improbability that I will be able to have a baby without divine intervention or some pale person in a lab…
My God Story
Guys. I have NEVER had it all together. Not before I was a Christian, and not since becoming one. I fall short every day. But if God can take the mess I was, the girl who thought she had zero value, then he can do the same for you. The amazing thing is, he longs…
Fact Check
No one likes being lied to. Just kidding!!!Lately, it seems people only want to hear whatever makes them feel justified in their sexual choices, their victimhood, and their godless worldview; regardless of facts, science, and commonly accepted (until now) universal constructs. I guess it’s no surprise; maybe it’s just a little more obvious now. Or…
Friday
Have you ever been the chunky girl trying to create a business in the health and wellness industry? The only one happily spreading butter thick on a warm baguette while your team spritzes lemon wedges over their quinoa and beet superfood salads? The one who just wants to drink a fruity glass of red and…
What a Character!
In twelve years she will be an adult. The same girl who told me last night she didn’t feed the cat because her ears weren’t working when I asked her. It’s crazy to think about. On one hand, it feels like we have so much time left with her. She’s still finishing out her kindergarten…
A Couple Little Things
Ok, so first of all, my weekend without social media was great! I didn’t miss it, actually. So what did I do with my time instead? I read Anne’s House of Dreams (the fifth book in the Anne of Green Gables series). I just love the way L.M. Montgomery’s characters take on life..you can see…
See You Monday
I have a love/hate relationship with technology. Having information, entertainment, and connection at your fingertips 24/7 is SO convenient. And so addictive. I can’t stop picking up my phone. It’s a problem. It’s not only the phone. What did couples do after dinner before television was invented? I know other things such as laundry and…
