You Don’t Have to Choose a Parenting Method to be a Great Parent
I walked the floor with a baby on each shoulder gently bounce, bounce, bouncing them, my back burning, hoping to ease my twins to sleep. They must’ve been just a few weeks old, our fourth and fifth kids, recently out … Continue reading

I’m a Pee Fight Pacifist
Look, I don’t usually take on extreme positions here. I’m just not that kind of girl. I tend to be all mushy and “well, there are two sides to every story” and “I’m sure she had the best intentions” and … Continue reading

It’s Spring Break, aka March Madness (for Parents)

When Good Enough Turns Out to be Good AND Enough
Sometimes it’s important to push for bigger, better, stronger, fitter. More love. More truth. Deeper joy. Bring it, Life. Other times, I am kaput. Bringing it’s been brought, and I’m wrung out. Done ditty done. It seems like the trick … Continue reading

There’s poop and a full-ride scholarship under my porch.
There’s poop under my front porch, and it’s not from an animal, folks. I know; it’s tacky to write a mommy blog and be all Braggity McBragpants about my kids, but there’s a season for everything, and it’s time to … Continue reading
