I am coming out of a very long season of No. Ever since I became a parent I pretty much said no to everything that had nothing to do with my successfully transitioning to parenthood. That was a little over 2 years ago. But many other things happened in the last two years. Not only…

Dear All The Praying People
My kid slept 8 hours last night! Granted, he went to bed at 7 pm and I went to bed around 10:30 pm so I didn’t get 8 hours but 4.5 is a big improvement! Thank you for your prayers and your words. The best part about this blogging challenge has been hearing from so…
Life Happens
I wrote a blog post tonight. I spent well over an hour on it. But several things are preventing me from posting it. Remember how I said yesterday that I don’t post a blog unless I feel like God has given it the green light? Lets just say that the light is still red. Now…
Confession: Sometimes I Miss My Job
So you probably know that I am a stay at home mom now. After LucyKate was born I stopped working full-time and went extremely part-time, only working 10 hours a week. It was an awesome gig and I am thankful to have had that job as I transitioned from full-time work in an office to…
My Favorite Female Musician of All Time
My favorite female musician of all time is Patty Griffin. Her music moves me at the deepest level. She is a singer/songwriter and a master at her craft. I’ve seen her in concert several times and each show has been a unique and original experience. I first heard Patty’s music when my friend Sarah played…
Two Years Old
Today we celebrate LucyKate’s second birthday. I wanted to write a heartfelt and meaningful post in honor of her special day. But I just can’t. I have tried all day and the words fall short. So I will simply say this: Lucia Kathryn, being your mom is the best thing. I am infinitely grateful that…
Trapped in a Box
I posted this pic on Facebook earlier today. This is where poor Mrs Potato Head lives these days. I look at her and feel her pain. When I tried to come up with a quality blog post I kept thinking of her and how that is how my brain feels: trapped in a plastic box!…
Thoughts on My “Comfort Zone”
I remember when I was a teenager I would have never been caught eating alone in a restaurant or going alone to see a movie. I could barely tolerate going to the mall alone. If I did find myself on my own and needed to eat I would get food to go and eat it…
Make Yourself At Home
An influential voice in my life recently told me that it takes at least a year, up to two years, to truly feel settled into a new home. We moved in December 2011, December 2012 and June 2013 so I suppose that means I have been in an ongoing state of being unsettled. I only…
Life as I Know It
(Scroll to the end for a list of all posts in this series) I am going to attempt (again) to complete the 31 day writing challenge presented by the Nesting Place. The idea is to write about one topic, every day, for the month of October. Let’s face it: I am no good at doing…
