Storytime! When I met my husband, I was working at a marketing company. It was a corporate job. And while this job had its perks, I was ready for a change. I had two talents that everyone seemed to want from me: 1) working with kids (babysitting, camp counselor, youth program administration, and the like)…
When I first had children, I wanted to do everything myself! First of all, I was so happy to finally have children. I had worked with children from when I was babysitting age, and I knew I loved them. Now I had my own. I enthusiastically embraced the responsibility. I wanted my children to get…
Hey moms who are into entrepreneurship — here is a story for you — You ready? Storytime, my first entrepreneurial project. Have you heard it before? This time, let it ring different. I hope this open and vulnerable share will make a difference for you. I was in college. A psychology major, the biggest major…
It just occurred to me that it’s almost the end of 2022 and I only wrote one post in December. I guess it’s time to write another post! Here are the significant things that have happened for the rest of this month. I suppose the most signficant one is that I went camping with my…
If you ask people this question, you will get such interesting answers. At a recent family gathering, I asked someone whose birthday it was, now that you are a year older, what is the secret of life? And he responded, to do good work. At work, he’s been there longer than the new people and…

Sometimes I feel like I’m the only one willing to do the work it takes to raise children, get them fed, get them to bed, get them to camp on time, etc etc. Yet it’s probably also the case that my husband feels that way sometimes too. We feed off of each other. When one…
When we stop and think about our priorities in our life… it’s a good chance to be intentional. One thing that the pandemic taught me was that I’m not invincible. For a long time, I felt like going to the doctor’s was optional. You know… if I feel sick, maybe I’ll get some medicine… or…
As Row vs. Wade gets overturned, and many states in the US begin to make abortion illegal, there’s something I just can’t fathom. In a two hour drive while listening to it as the top story of the day, why was rape not mentioned? Arguments I did hear: Women and men need to be responsible…
There is nothing like spending time with family and friends that you have know for decades. I can’t help but wonder how common it is for people to get married, move away, and have children in a new place. After all, how common is it that people from the same town fall in love and…
