On July 27th, Ikea is opening here in Denver. I have always wondered why there wasn’t one here, but now there will be! And in plenty of time for Baby #2. (and our new house…) Here are some things I would love, just for fun: And that’s not even including the real furniture or decor, […]

The Results? One Baby. Same Due Date. “Happy Uterus” (to quote my good friend Jenny). It’s strange. I was so stressed out about the possibility of having two babies, but now that I know there’s only one I feel like someone is missing. Someone who never existed in the first place. At the same time, […]

Got your attention? Yeah, that word got mine too at my midwife appointment yesterday. Apparently I am measuring big – like a month too big. That’s affirming in a sense because I have felt so much bigger than I expected to be at 12 weeks, but holy shamoly! Twins! It could be that somehow I […]

I am horrible at remembering to get presents and cards for people on special occasions. I apologize to everyone for the missed anniversary cards, birthday cards and any other card that may have been hoped for. Especially to family. Today, I apologize to my mom because I didn’t get anything in the mail this week. […]

So, I hope you’ve figured out by now why I haven’t blogged very much lately. I just have not had the energy! Plus, how could I blog about anything without you knowing that I’m pregnant. It has just affected my life too much to be able to write here and ignore it! A few of you […]

About how welcome the coverage of the Royal Wedding was for so many simply because weddings are full of hope, of new beginnings, and of love. I’m a person who tends to be rather cynical, pessimistic about… well, most things. I didn’t think I […]

There is this basic theological belief that God is infinite and we are finite. God can do all and we cannot. God knows all and we do not. God is everywhere and we are not. In fact, we are very much here within our physical, emotional, and psychological limits. But sometimes we forget. We forget […]

As you simplify your life, the laws of the universe will be simpler; solitude will not be solitude, poverty will not be poverty, nor weakness weakness. – Henry David Thoreau When I was little, I imagined how great it would be to have a simple house, with not much in it. I had a very […]

Ack! I’ve done it again! Whenever I make a goal like I did on Monday to talk about something rather important here on this little blog, I get so intimidated and want it to be so perfect I end up publishing nothing. Apparently my boss says that it’s better to do something poorly than not […]

I have been wrestling with this idea for the last two years. Prior to Jack’s birth, my faith rested in the abstract. Love. Relationships. Patience. You know – character and spirituality. Faith had almost nothing to do with physical life and physical needs. When Jack was, oh, I don’t know, 6 months old I wrote […]
