One of the reasons I have waited so long to take my blogging more seriously is because I am terrified of confrontation. Seriously terrified. The idea of someone disagreeing with me, of being wrong, of offending someone, that all gives me so much anxiety that having a space to share and build community didn’t seem… Continue reading Letting go of my fear of confrontation
When healthy makes you unhealthy Over the past four years, my husband and I have been trying to get healthier. We started making more things from scratch, buying mostly organic and switching out personal and cleaning products for more natural versions. In some ways, it feels like we’ve been doing this at a pretty slow… Continue reading 10 ways to stay stress-free and healthy when your budget shrinks
I would not consider myself overly political. I vote, I care, but for the most part I feel pretty apathetic about the entire political system and don’t have the time, experience or drive to try to make much of a difference to it. I still have no clue what I will do come November. The… Continue reading #IGuessI’m(Still)NotWithHer
I was so excited to try this Whole30. I’ve been dealing with some chronic, though not serious, issues I was hoping would finally be kicked by it. I want my family to be healthy and happy. While I wasn’t able to get a copy of the Whole30 cookbook, I read the explanation book and read… Continue reading Why we quit our Whole30 – and how we didn’t

My husband and I were the first of our friends to get married and have children so I knew I was going to have to cast a… Continue reading The odd outcast
Over the last couple of years, my family has been through several ups and downs when it comes to money. On particularly hard days, days where there is more red in my bank account than I ever thought possible or yet another bill comes in the mail, I have always been able to seek solace… Continue reading The disappointment of non-existent signs
It has been one of those weeks. I feel like I could end this post there and so many people could relate. Whether you are a student, working in retail, working anywhere really, looking for a job, planning a wedding, pregnant, trying to get pregnant, have a newborn, have a hundred children, I feel like… Continue reading It has been one of those weeks
Breastfeeding in public has become a huge debate lately. I’ve been sort of wishy-washy on my opinion. While pregnant, I was sure I would use a cover when in public or when we had guests over because I’m someone who isn’t even comfortable in a bikini top so I was sure I would feel too… Continue reading The Modesty Argument – Why Breastfeeding in public matters
And experiencing things like this with my husband help me understand the truth in the saying: “Those who play together, stay together.” After the concert and the entire ride home, all we could think about was how amazing the concert was, what a great night it had been. We should have both been exhausted after long work weeks and hours of grooving to the music. But we were just so pumped! It will definitely be a night I’ll remember for the rest of our lives.
As far back as I can remember, I’ve always wanted a large family. My barbie families had at least five or six kids. I started babysitting as soon as my parents allowed me. I love kids and have never kept my desire for a larger family a secret. So when my husband and I got… Continue reading Why I will never again ask about babies
