There’s a war going on. And no, I’m not talking about the middle east. I’m talking about the war inside me. The war between my head and my heart. You see, my dear readers, after 10 months of unemployment I was finally offered a job. A job that I had prayed for and I job [...]

I’ve been reading so many birth stories lately in preparation for the birth of our next baby boy. I always appreciate the honesty and vivid descriptions. It helped me before I gave birth to Landon and it’s helping me again. Mostly it helps me realize that each story is unique and individual and that what happens [...]

An hour ago I was holding my son in his room. It was dark with the exception of a tiny bit of street light shining through the curtain. His head rested right in between that place. You know . . . the place where your shoulder meets your neck. His head fits perfectly there. It [...]

Last year at this time I was 36 weeks pregnant. It seems like so long ago yet it’s like it was yesterday. I have trouble wrapping my brain around the fact that my belly was that big. I mean, I could barely even walk because he was so low. The pain of contractions, the pressure [...]

It seems like just yesterday Naaman and I were visiting them in the hospital to welcome their daughter to the world. I remember writing this post in July 2007. And honestly, it was after I held Caia that I [...]

It’s 3:00 in the afternoon and I’m drinking a cup of coffee at home. I rarely drink caffeine this late in the day but I am officially exhausted. I’ve been through one full week at my new job and I must say I LOVE IT! Everyone there is wonderful and I am so excited to [...]

I'm a working mama to two of the most beautiful and sweet little boys. Landon is 3 1/2 and Brigham is 21 months. Yes, I survived a stint of two under two with a baby who didn't sleep for a year. And if I ever actually realized my dream of walking down the red carpet I'm sure there would be dirt on my dress. I'm just trying not to trip over Tonka trucks. This is where I write, laugh, dream, share, cry, and hope with honesty.
