Since having kids, I cry more, laugh more, deal with anger more, and love more than I ever previously have. Our little bundles of joy – and energy – really do change everything. They’re supposed to! They also have single-handedly shifted the meanings of my words into another realm. Into Motherhood Realm. This means that […] Read more…

I love Thanksgiving. I love that it isn’t about presents, or functions, or even about decorating. It’s about looking back at a hard thing that people went through and celebrating God’s preservation of them… which ultimately was a preservation of our own country and way of life.

But that’s because I wasn’t really understanding my guest. I was assuming that what our guests were hoping to gain […] Read more…
Have you ever had one of these?? It’s a Larabar! They are my very favorite type of “bar.” Chewy…brownie-like…wonderful. Larabars even fall into that oh-so-difficult-to-fulfill list of Paleo qualifications. No sugar! No dairy! No grains! You should try one. Actually, you shouldn’t try one. They are very expensive.
