March was hard. I ran on dread and adrenaline the entire month. And then it was suddenly over. A jarring, sickening, slamming of the breaks, wind knocked out of you, over. All month, this singular post “A Father’s Love” from Jenni at Just Chicken Feed gave me strength. When I could find no words of prayer from my own heart, she gave me the words. “Lord, it is your will.. Read More
Perfect Post Award – February
I don’t even know where to begin. I’m sitting here, staring at the screen and this whole thing is just too damned big to be able to explain, to figure out. It’s hard for me to breathe as I type this.

The stay at home mom gig is hard. Scout has looked me square in the eye and said,.. Read More
Hook me up, my friends.
It’s a fun one. Not quite as fun as nail polish polls (which, by the way, I ended up shopping a 50% off the clearance price for clothes instead of getting the pedi yet), but still fun. I adore the Perfect Post awards that Suburban Turmoil and Petroville host each month. Today they sent out the announcement for the next round of awards. I’ve been so brain dead that I.. Read More
