Real Mom Confessions: floor food, a CLOSET, + more
It’s that time again friends, when we come together to share our real, to let each other know that we’re far from alone, and to giggle because we just have to laugh at the absurd everyday real lives we live. Here’s what I have for you this week: 1. I...
On This Season of Sacrifice
My days are patchworked together much like the quilts we use for summer picnics. A moment for writing here, a minute for cleaning up there, a big chunk for work pops up, a few minutes of quiet before someone wakes. This season of raising small children? This season,...
Real Mom Confessions: the pregnancy edition (!!!)
Sometimes God says, “Surprise!” And you laugh and cry both in wonder and delight and sheer terror, accepting such a precious gift. You go in for early, early ultrasounds and vials of bloodwork to confirm the gift. You begin taking progesterone supplements...
On Celebrating the Other Mothers on Mother’s Day

On the Worst Kind of Mommy War
I weigh more than I ever have before. I wear a bigger size than I ever have before. I have more soft folds than I ever have before. On the last flight I took, while the seatbelt fit fine the sides of the seat nearly left marks on my hips. Sometimes I don’t...Meet Anna
