I was at Target a few weeks ago in the cleaning supplies section. I had been going back and forth between two aisles looking a specific kind of soap for the all natural cleaning supplies post. I couldn’t find what I was looking for. That’s when these two women entered the next aisle over and […]
I’ll never forget the first time we drove by this shelf on the side of the road. I yelled at my husband…. Did you see that?… turn around…. That’s the perfect shelf for that weird spot on the wall… turn around… we’re getting it. He was mortified. First he said no. He didn’t want people […]
I was on the phone with a business acquaintance turned friend discussing all of the changes I’ve encountered in life recently. I’ve been pretty forthright about getting laid off, losing my best friend, and being incredibly lost to this new life. I’d always been defined by what I did. I’ve always worked in an industry […]
I have a giant confession to make! But it’s cool! Because you’re going to not wear your judgy pants and just hear me out! Right? I mean I’ve already told you that I’m not the best housekeeper on the planet! Shew… glad you were sitting down for that one right? But I do maintain a […]
I’m Am So NOT Perfect! And that should not be a surprise! If you haven’t already figured it out. I am completely and utterly and totally and consuming-ly AGAINST the idea that we should all be striving for perfection!

It was 2002 and I had left college, married my best friend, and had a baby in short order. I was directionless. I had always known what I wanted. I was going to be a famous Christian performing artist with extensive travels, recording contracts, and a long time career. Sandi Patti had nothing on me! […]
I was the middle child too. I guess I remember some of the struggles. This is Sissy! She’s my middle baby. Quite by accident but none the less there she is. She’s very bright, considerate of others, and super artistic. She also has so many of the symptoms of Middle Child Syndrome. But it’s ok. […]
Raising boys is hard! Especially when they turn 13 without permission. This is Bubby! At least we call him Bubby! Or Bubbies! He is super smart and has the kindest heart. He also just turned 13. And then I started to cry. You see being 13 comes with a whole lot of weird stuff. It’s […]
