Sorting out my head one blog post at a time.
This past weekend I had my first ever garage sale. I've occasionally stopped at garage sales in the past but am by no means a regular garage saler. So this was my first foray the true world of garage sale-ing. Every year our neighborhood association has a neighborhood garage sale and in a spur of the moment... Continue Reading →
My husband sent me on a surprise trip to Minnesota last weekend and I bought skinny jeans. Because that’s what happens when I hang out with my girls. I do stuff like buy trendy clothing. I've actually been wanting skinny jeans for a while, but never found ones I liked. Until now. (Thank you JC... Continue Reading →
So here I sit at DIA. Alone. My rockstar husband surprised me with a weekend trip to visit my bestie in MN. So now I have three days to not change diapers. Three days to do whatever I want. Three days to eat uninterrupted and think of only myself. Its weird. I realized on the... Continue Reading →

He wouldn't have wanted it any other way.Five years ago I wrote a post for his birthday, not having any idea that I would only have two more birthdays with him.I'm going to repost...

I know lots of girls grow up dreaming of being a mom. I'm not one of them. In fact, until I was married, I wasn't sure I even wanted to have children at all. Then four months after our wedding I got pregnant and figured I better get on board with God's plan for me.... Continue Reading →
All the uproar on social media this week over the Kermit Gosnell trial has kept the whole abortion issue heavy on my mind, and frankly, thank goodness for social media. Because the mainstream news outlets certainly aren't talking about it. I checked CNN.com. Nothing. I checked Google News. Nothing. I checked BBC.com. Nothing. Unbelievable. But... Continue Reading →
Excuse me while I interrupt your day for a minute. And to give you fair warning, this won't be an enjoyable post. Actually, posting something like this as I'm resuming my blog is probably kind of stupid. I'm sure I'll lose potential readers. People don't want to read stuff like this. But after reading this...

A few days ago I had one of those moments. You know every once in a while when you have those few seconds where it seems that everything is just right with the world and God seems physically present? I was driving to an appointment in early afternoon. I was driving up a hill and... Continue Reading →
