Thanksgiving and My Boys

November 25, 2009

Thanksgiving is here! I love the colors. I love the smells. I love the food. And I love going around the dining room table to say what I’m thankful for. I try to limit myself to just one of the big things I’m thankful for, but it’s hard. Personally, I would prefer to have a [...]

How did THAT happen?

November 4, 2009

Do you know how each family develops it’s own inside jokes? The kind of insider-only, really-funny-to-us expressions that are so silly and take on layers of meaning, but only really make sense within your family?

Mommy Fellows

October 28, 2009

About 18 months ago I sat down with God and had a little conversation… God, I have no idea what I’m doing. I’m lonely, I’m tired and I’m covered in poop. I could really use some girlfriends who know how to pray. Could you, maybe, find the time to help me with this one? (Not [...]
