The Best of Me
Well, the day is over. The kids are in bed, and I’m sitting here knowing that tomorrow pretty much looks just like today. Because while the details might be slightly different, the pattern of endless giving and caring and pouring my heart out won’t change....
“Let Me Hold the Baby” & Other Sexy Things My Husband Says
He came in from a long day of work and took his boots off by the front door. I was standing in the living room trying to fold the clothes with one arm while holding a baby with the other. Our oldest two had abandoned the Disney Junior show that they were watching, and...
To My Husband: Now That You Are Daddy
When we were dating, I liked to imagine what you would be like as a daddy someday. You would do something funny, and I would think, “Awww. See. He’s going to be such a fun dad.” Or you would do something purposefully kind, and I would say to myself, “Yes! He’s...
Why I Let My Son Draw in the Dirt at His T-Ball Game
This is my son. He is five years old. He loves Legos, pretending to be any form of super hero, and whatever “screen time” I will allow him. He sleeps with a special blanket. He would eat his weight in sweets if I were to let him, and he loves Jesus like a...
The Real Happily Ever After
Like so much of the rest of the world, I was glued to my TV when Kate married William… I mean when Her Royal Highness Catherine Elizabeth, The Duchess of Cambridge married His Royal Highness Prince William Arthur Philip Louis, Duke of Cambridge. It felt like I was...
The Hardest Day of the Year
Every year, you think it will be easier. You think that the last 365 days have prepared you to face it. You know that it is coming. You see the ads on TV. You see the stores set out their timely displays. And you tell yourself that this year will not be quite as...
Momma’s First Mother’s Day
Hey, Momma? There are a few things that I want to tell you. I just don’t have the words… yet. We’re still figuring this out – you and me. The early mornings and the long nights are hard. I know that you’re tired…. ALWAYS tired. Even on the nights when we both get a...
#NoMoreMommyBullies
I tell my children all of the time to, “Play nice.” Do you know why? Do you know why I teach this lesson to my children? Because how we interact with others matters, because compassion is important, and because nobody likes a bully. I get a lot of hate mail. No,...
Why We Are Going To Get Up And Do It All Again Tomorrow
It’s been a long day hasn’t it? Maybe your long day began before mine did. I'm just now cleaning up the kitchen after dinner, but today felt long beginning around 9:00 am this morning. We were out of milk, which made cereal for breakfast… difficult. The shirt that we...
She Might Not Tell You, But I Will… The Joke Is Still Over
In 2014, I wrote this article,– and it spread like wildfire. I heard from people all across the globe who agreed, and others who used some pretty strong language to tell me how much they disagreed. But out of all of it, I noticed one thing. It started a discussion....
From Love – A Letter to the Momma Who Feels Spread Thin
To the Momma Who Feels Spread Thin, I saw you running to the soccer fields the other day. Running late to practice, you had to park at the back of the lot, and you knew that you were the last family there. Your son ran ahead looking for his team likely already doing...
My Body Broken for You
I had this mission. Lose all the baby weight. It seemed like a simple goal. Nursing helped. Watching my sugar intake helped. Eating healthy and getting exercise… it all helped. Even though I should be clear that my version of exercise is chasing three kids around....
