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)

My Environmental Rant
The only thing I’ve found humorous the past few weeks on social media, besides getting a break from president craziness and the hurricanes, is the occasional post about the causes behind the severe weather we’ve been experiencing lately. Between the hurricanes and flooding and forest fires, seems like many are quick to jump backward in … Continue reading My Environmental Rant
Finding Our Faults 12-15-16
What happens to you when you stumble into your soul mate in the middle of your life? I could write a book on this, but I want to write about one specific topic. You’re in your late 30s. You’ve been married for over 15 yrs. You think you’ve grown, matured, in all ways, especially emotionally. … Continue reading Finding Our Faults 12-15-16
Answers from a Dread Head-1-12-16
About 6 years ago I suddenly had a strange desire to get dread locks. I don’t know where this even came from, except when I stopped to think about it, they made perfect sense for a girl like me. I am kinda low maintenance (sweetie, don’t laugh!), at least as far as I put into … Continue reading Answers from a Dread Head-1-12-16
Vulnerability
Today I finally worked up the courage to drag myself to a local MOPS meeting for the first time since moving to our new town. First, MOPS (Moms of Preschoolers) is an international mom group that meets locally 2x a month, designed for stay-at-home moms to connect, fellowship, and support each other. I used to … Continue reading Vulnerability
Co-parenting
If you had talked to me 5 years ago, I would have been pretty clear. Never in a million years would I have pictured myself divorced, knowledgeable about divorce papers, custody, child support, or co-parenting. Not because I had a rock solid marriage to my ex-husband, but because I couldn’t picture putting my children in … Continue reading Co-parenting

Fridays I’m in Love (2-12-16)
God is good. All the time. It’s a great day today. The weather here is mild, such a welcome relief this time of year. I was at an amazing birth last night, and although I always worry and joke that babies come at the worst time, it always times just perfectly. Out of the house … Continue reading Fridays I’m in Love (2-12-16)
Saying Goodbye (2-22-16)
This past year has definitely seen its share of changes. Mostly good. Some hard. Some instant and some over time. My challenge this year has been to focus on the positive, and surround myself with people who support us and make our lives easier. At some point acknowledging the challenges, the losses, and relationships that … Continue reading Saying Goodbye (2-22-16)
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)
