First, I haven’t written a blog in months. Mostly, I’ve been settling into a new full time job in a new community. With my shift in career focus, I’ve struggled to find the time (and the courage) to continue baring my soul. Sarah has continued to write. While I’ve had the urge to blog many … Continue reading Holiday Parenting–Guest Blog by my wife

Apparently this blog may occasionally get hi-jacked by my partner (coming soon! It's good!) or one of the kiddos. The 12 y.o. read my blog yesterday and left this for me to find. It's kind of hilarious and he may have found his calling! Enjoy!: Hi my name is #1 the only reason I’m posting … Continue reading Warning! Blog Hi-Jacked by 12 year old! 11/10/15
Jumping Head First into Motherhood-From zero to five in one year (11/15/15)
This is a guest blog-post from my better half!: From an early age I was fairly convinced that I was not well suited for motherhood. I was too selfish. I need to feel appreciated at a level that children cannot provide. I was okay with that, too. I knew that I could live a really exciting and … Continue reading Jumping Head First into Motherhood-From zero to five in one year (11/15/15)
Our (Mostly) Paleo Pantry-Guest Blog (11-15)
A guest blog post by my better half! One of the things I gave very little thought to when I jumped into this relationship was how my diet would change. I mean, really, who thinks about that when they join lives? Plus, it's different entering a new relationship more than a decade into adulthood. I … Continue reading Our (Mostly) Paleo Pantry-Guest Blog (11-15)
The Brighter Side of Parenthood Guest Blog 1-22-16)

The Other Ex-Husband-In-Law Guest Blog (1-26-16)
A couple of months ago, my wife wrote a blog about the relationship she has with my ex-husband. Over the summer, we were trying to figure out how to define each other’s ex-husband to others in the fewest words possible. I coined the term “ex-husband-in-law” (although, she kind of takes the credit for this stroke … Continue reading The Other Ex-Husband-In-Law Guest Blog (1-26-16)
When it’s not just the 9 of us…(3-2-16)
Guest blog by my wife: A few weeks ago, my wife wrote about changes. That blog definitely struck a chord with me. The last year has been a series of unexpected changes and, unfortunately, given our situation we are likely to see more changes in the future. One of the questions I’ve been asked the … Continue reading When it’s not just the 9 of us…(3-2-16)
Adulting-Guest Blog by my Wife (4-5-16)
Being an Adult I’ve been ruminating on this for a few weeks now, but recently I’ve watched a close friend go through something crazy challenging and it’s just kind of hit me: I am an adult. I mean, pretty officially, I think. Don’t get me wrong, on some level, I’ve known this for quite some … Continue reading Adulting-Guest Blog by my Wife (4-5-16)
