I’ll admit I don’t carry a purse often. At least, not one that is just for me. For the last 5 solid years it’s been either a diaper bag, tote bag, or some sort of BAG that allows me to fit everything I’ll need for every possible situation that could sort of possibly happen while…

It’s Earth Day!! Are you gettin’ down with the greenage? I try to be green. I’m not perfect, but I put in a decent effort. But ‘being green’ isn’t all about conserving water and recycling. I mean, that’s definitely some things that are good to do, but I think we overlook the small things we…

this was a big moment for me this morning. the sun was rising and reflected off of the glass on a picture we have hanging on the living room wall, showing my boy in beautiful morning sunlight as he was just sitting there quietly thinking to himself. i just stared at him and marveled at…

Three years ago today we completed our family, and brought to the world the two most beautiful girls it will ever see. But something else happened. Three years ago I fought for you, for love, and won. I’m sure the actual time span of it all was quick, but for me the end was moving…
