Church and it’s members have been on my heart the past few weeks, and I know my blogging skills are always better when I write about what I’m most passionate about in the moment. As you know, I’ve blogged about my faith before, and my background. I am a Christian, and while I grew up … Continue reading Calling All Gay Christians

Sick Babies (11/4/15)
As the weather finally changes from almost summer to winter here in just one day, the 2 little boys battle the latest virus circulating around town. Sometimes you just never know why they are so fussy, until the next night when they are warm with a fever or start coughing. The littlest one started his … Continue reading Sick Babies (11/4/15)
Poop! 11/6/15
(Could it be the light at the end of the tunnel? Could we be hopeful? Is it really happening? #5 is 2 weeks into potty training! All 5 kids have been cloth diapered for most of their lives (sans vacations and sometimes overnights). According to my calculations, I've changed, rinsed, washed, dried, and applied somewhere … Continue reading Poop! 11/6/15
Just Another Day in Paradise (AKA the Gay Lifestyle) 11/11/15
If you asked me a year ago, I never would've given much thought to what the term, "gay lifestyle" implied. Or maybe I would have had a stereotypical reaction to the phrase. You know, depending on how it's said, it invokes images of promiscuity, wild partying, etc. Several months ago someone used this term to … Continue reading Just Another Day in Paradise (AKA the Gay Lifestyle) 11/11/15
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)
Closet Hockey Mom (11/15)
Hockey. You either love it or you hate it. I never had much exposure to hockey growing up, I just knew that hockey parents are intense, dedicated, indulgent. Watching hockey just seemed cold. Sitting there. Freezing. So when #2 begged for an entire year to try hockey, I wasn't too excited. Hockey is expensive. Lots … Continue reading Closet Hockey Mom (11/15)
I’m Gonna Love You Like I’m Gonna Lose You (11/15)
My person's been gone for 12 days. I will see her in 44 hours. (But who's counting?) It's been painfully hard to be away from each other. We're super magnets to each other. We can't stay apart from one another. She's a person I WANT to be with. Often. It's painful to be apart. She's … Continue reading I’m Gonna Love You Like I’m Gonna Lose You (11/15)
Ode to the Washing Maching (11-15)
This has been on my list of topics, but must put this out there today in honor of our trusty appliance. The fridge went out today, and the dish washer is all backed up. So, in order to appease the appliance gods, I should probably say a few kind words to the washing machine, lest … Continue reading Ode to the Washing Maching (11-15)
Am I an Oxymoron? Living the Faith Part 1 (11-15)
Here’s me. Apparently a rare species. A paradox. An oxymoron. There are some people that don’t think I can be both. There are others that don’t think I should be both. There are even others that don’t know me as both. Obviously most of my friends and family now know that I am in love … Continue reading Am I an Oxymoron? Living the Faith Part 1 (11-15)
The Treehouse Project (11-15)
What happens when you have 5 kids that have been begging for a treehouse and 2 dads that happen to be engineers? A. Very. Big. Project. Let me tell you about The Treehouse. It's hard to ignore a 3 year old's nightly pleas, big blue eyes, and "I found daddy's safety glasses for when he … Continue reading The Treehouse Project (11-15)
