Election day 2018 I posted a joke on my personal Facebook page, and it received some criticism (and praise). Now I know I'm not everyone's cup of tea (or coffee), but the negative responses I received made me mad, and sad, and feel completely misunderstood. It was late, we were in the middle of ...
Marriage, according to A Slightly Better Wife
Street Fighting
Two years ago today this tough guy and I broke up a nasty fist fight in the Wal-Mart parking lot. It was afternoon, the weather was gorgeous and more than anything I just wanted to ignore the world around me and enjoy the seemingly-perfect day with my little tribe. I looked over as we pulled into ...
Snippets from Summer
As I begin to feel summer slipping away and fall sneaking its way in, I thought I'd share some snippets from this lovely summer. True Story From the Smack Dab Middle of Summer: Mr. Awesome was out back staining the swing set. I watched him from the kitchen window for a little while (in a ...

Ten Years
The rest of the family went to sleep early, so my littlest guy and I had a little mommy + me date. We cleaned, we packed daddy's lunch, we did 1/8th of the dishes (we were both over it before we even began), we wrote colorful notes for everyone and left them on the table to be discovered in ...

Dear Mr. Awesome – August 30th, 2017
Mr. Awesome, if you're reading this, I'm feeling like a rockstar wife today - We finished homeschooling early, the big kids are mowing the lawn and organizing garage sale items, there's a roast in the crockpot, the 2 littles are napping, & I just pulled these Oreo (well, technically "sandwich ...
I Didn’t Know How Lucky I Was, to be His Girl
Life is full of choices. So many choices but they all come down to this: To Stay, or To Go. I mean, wouldn't you agree? Too often we make snap decisions with our emotions, and not our minds. What I should've posted yesterday was "Happy 13 year dating anniversary to this guy & I" with a ...
Hindsight is Something Like 20/20
A couple weeks ago this little guy turned two months old. I cannot believe that two months have gone by this fast. It is funny to hear myself say that. In the beginning all the days and nights ran together and I thought that I would never get a good night of sleep again. Honestly. We ...
Growing Again
If you've noticed the posts have been a little sporadic around here, it's because I've spent the past 7 months growing a new little blessing inside of me, and really folks, it has been down right exhausting at times.
