Once upon a time, I fancied myself madly in love. These are not the boots, but if I paste a picture of them I am in danger of becoming entranced again. So, look at these boots and imagine something 40 bazillion times better. Those are my boots. It was beautiful. Innocently googling one day, and my eyes were opened to a glorious future. Those riding boots were made [...]

Somewhere around this age: I decided I wanted to be a ballerina when I grew up. Never mind that I had never taken nor would ever take a dance class, the tiny figurine on the top of my music box was beautiful and wore a pink tutu and that was enough. I also went ahead and put in a request to my parents that my name be changed to “Music [...]

I married a man of many theories. I should have known this was coming when at our rehearsal dinner his father quoted their family crest: “Often wrong, but never in doubt.” Never before have truer words been said. And over the years, this little insight has proven both incredibly prophetic and incredibly maddening. Josh’s theories are a matter of certainty for him. Until they he decides they are incorrect, that [...]

It was Wednesday night and Josh wasn’t home. I was putting the kids to bed myself. They’d been bathed, brushed, dressed, read to, sang to, prayed to, devotionized, the whole bit. It was past bedtime. The girls had been swimming that day and both needed drops in their ears. I did Edy’s first. Easy peasy. Then there was Hattie. Standard Hattie: cape, tie dye and her "cool" face. [...]

If you’ve paid any kind of attention to the news in the last week, you’ve probably felt the same as me. Shocked. Sickened. Helpless. Fearful. Heavy. People are dying horrific deaths. Children are starving and worse. Warfare has broken out and disease has taken over. Things seem to be crumbling. The helplessness I feel is maddening…and then there’s the outrageous cost of school supplies. Isn’t it ironic? Children are being [...]

About a week ago this time, Josh and I were enjoying lovely Jackson, Wyoming. We were there to celebrate ten years of life together, and all was blissful and wonderful and perfect. Hehe. I took four tries for my jump to be satisfactory. Most of the time you couldn't tell I had left the ground. We hiked a lot. We ate a lot. We bought cool t-shirts that [...]

Here’s the major occupational hazard with being a blogger who writes about her life: I have to write about my life. So here goes. ~ I could post pictures about my recent vacation that look like this: And would you think my life was grand and my children were perfect and we never had any problems, but you would be wrong. So, though this is a real picture from [...]

To set the stage: Edy was four, and would have looked about like this: It was bedtime. She was upstairs and already tucked in, but called down to us in the kitchen and so began the following conversation: Edy: “Daddy?” Josh: “Yes?” Edy: “Can I ask you a question?” Josh: “Yes.” Edy: “My towel is still up here.” Josh: “That’s not a question, Edy.” Edy: “I don’t feel so good.” [...]

I nearly died this week. Or maybe I should say I wanted to die this week. But there wouldn’t be a runaway minivan or a creepy bad guy to blame in on this time. It was my own cursed sinuses that were the culprit. I felt a little bit like ripping my own face off, just to release some of the pressure. But, alas, a face comes in handy when [...]

In case you were wondering where I’ve been, I flew to lovely Asheville, North Carolina a couple of weeks ago. Asheville really is beautiful, but the trees in the background of this blurryish shot of my friend, Niki, and I are the only scenery I got a picture of, unfortunately. Just imagine a lot more trees on rolling mountains, and that's Asheville. I was nearly giddy. Packed up, [...]
