Going home for Christmas was great. We relaxed, spent time with family, and everyone else took care of Jack! This was probably the best vacation we have had since Jack was born simply because he is so much more independent and I am no longer nursing him. I mean we were able to give him […]
One Year
I finally have a moment to sit down and write! Yay for delayed appointments! Friday was Jack’s birthday. I can’t believe my little boy is one! And in other ways I feel like the past year was at least two years’ time. Seriously, I felt like the first three months were never going to end. […]
A More Substantial Update
OK. I am going to finally post a couple of pictures of the apartment. I kept waiting and waiting because I wanted everything to be in its place in order to impress you all, but tonight I realized things will never be in their place. This is me we’re talking about! So here’s the living […]
I’m back!
Wow, it has been more than two weeks since I have written anything. And honestly, I have needed the time off. Not that blogging is work or anything, but the last two weeks have been a huge adjustment. In case you don’t remember, we moved!! I don’t have any fun pictures of the apartment yet […]

A couple of weeks ago I shared my current struggle with depression. Since then, I have received encouragement from others who are […]

In high school, our choir sang this song to close every concert. Below is a video from youtube a member of my sister’s choir took […]
The Shoulds
From the days of June Cleaver (and perhaps earlier?), there have been expectations of what a mother and wife should do. While I get incredibly angry over the idea that she should be submissive – even subservient to her husband, put everything aside for the sake of her children, and is responsible for the actions […]
Halloween Costume Idea
I love dressing up and pretending to be someone else. Growing up, I didn’t even know you could buy costumes because my mom always either made mine or we found some get up in the play clothes that transformed me into a Wealthy Old Maid (one of my favorites), a Black Cat (my last time […]
