I never thought I’d be working with The Hubs. In fact, I openly spoke against it in the early days of our marriage. “No way we could work together.” “I didn’t go to college for four years to just be your helper.” “I don’t think spending that much time together is a good idea.” “IContinue reading “Family Business”

Hard Workin Man
I gave myself a couple of days off from blogging. It felt like too much too fast, an overly ambitious Lenten Promise for someone who hadn’t blogged in over a year I’m glad I did take a couple of days though. I needed it. This week is going to be hectic and having a peacefulContinue reading “Hard Workin Man”
Busy Day
I’m writing this on my cell phone in bed because I’m too exhausted to fire up the laptop. It’s been a long day. I can’t help but go to bed with a happy heart though. As long as the day has been, it’s been filled with things to be grateful for. I woke up lateContinue reading “Busy Day”
Looking Back on The Early Days
Today we celebrated the seventh birthday of our Littlest Ladies. We always seem to do it in March even though their birthday is in February. In a way though, it’s fitting. They were born in February but we didn’t get to enjoy them at home until March. The Twins were born at 33 weeks andContinue reading “Looking Back on The Early Days”
Family Updates
Since I updated you all on myself the other day, here’s an update on the whole crew. The Hubs and I bought a company in April of 2024. It’s a daily game of trial by fire that brings me joy, laughter, tears, and the bubble guts. I love him now more than ever but questionContinue reading “Family Updates”
Into The Unknown!
Dearest Readers, I’ve been putting off this post because I just didn’t have the mental fortitude to write it. I wasn’t ready for it to be real for a variety of reasons. Disclaimer before anyone freaks out, no one is dead or terribly I’ll and I’m not hatching anymore children, I just need a momentContinue reading “Into The Unknown!”
With A Little Help From My Friends
One of the things that I’m blessed to do at work is teach a class called Understanding the Dynamics of Poverty. The class is aimed at educating about the causes and effects of both situational and generational poverty. In the class, one of the things we discuss is that people who live in poverty oftenContinue reading “With A Little Help From My Friends”
New Year’s Day!
Eight years ago (my God has it really been eight years?!) I got my heart broken on New Years Eve. A couple days later I adopted The Little Bad Dog and five months later I met the love of my life. Six months after that I met my oldest children and so on and soContinue reading “New Year’s Day!”
Family Updates
Dear Dedicated Readers, after almost a year, I think it’s time to begin writing again. I’d thought my days of blogging were done, but I’ve been feeling the call again so here we are. A lot has changed over the past year, too much to fit into one post for sure so for now we’llContinue reading “Family Updates”
September Thoughts
I have miraculously been granted a moment of peace by the entire family and so it is with great pleasure that I take some time to relax and gather my many scattered thoughts. September has held a shadow of sadness for me for almost as long as I can remember. The terrorist attacks on 9/11Continue reading “September Thoughts”
