Why I’m (Still) a SAHD (Part Three: A Week in the Life)
My plan has always been to conclude with a post addressing the challenges of staying home as an adult, but the more I thought about, the more I felt that I had addressed the main points in the previous posts. It can be a challenge, but with good communication and grace, the balance of home…

in my father’s footsteps
“So, will any of your kids follow in your footsteps? Will any of them be doctors?” Several people have posed the question over the years. “Not if I can help it.” My dad responds. As a matter of fact, my dad has been so open about the pitfalls of becoming a medical doctor that he…

the one about allume
Last month I had the pleasurable opportunity to attend The Allume Conference in Greenville, South Carolina. My mother accompanied me after rescheduling our family reunion (which includes about fifty people!) so that I wouldn’t have to miss it while I was gone. We had never taken a trip together, just the two of us, and…

Advice to Young Bloggers
Why should I give advice to young bloggers? Heaven knows I’m not a techy person. I’ve grown up in the computer age, but my experience with electronics has been a lot of trial and error, learning from mistakes (or just continuing to make them) and doing things the long, hard way. In other words, this…

the myth of the macho man
Once upon a time God created the earth and he needed someone to destroy it, so he created man. Or so you would think the story goes by listening to the conversations I overhear between guys. Now, I don’t want to be a man-hater in this post. I have some excellent men in my life…

Then back home for a light lunch and chatting, hanging out. Then gifts! My family is so sweet and generous. I got several cute outfits, a…

Rambellwood @ Eyrie Park
Another dream just came true! After roughly six years of following each other’s blogs, I finally got to meet Emma and Johanna Ramsey of A Banner of Crimson today! They came (along with Grace and James) just for the day, in order for James to tour our local university…and to grace us with their presence. It was…

a scene from the dream
Remember that I told you that a dream was coming true? Well, it was absolutely wonderful. And since she’s been gone (boohoo!) I have been re-inspired in my writing. More words on the way…

a dream comes true
So, I still need to take a shower and finish cleaning my room and have a balloon inflated and make a poster and clean Posy’s house, but I wanted to make an announcement real quick before then! I’ll start with a little background story… Once upon a time when I was a budding blogger (circa…

a timely hymn
Every year we sing the first verse of this hymn as a family. Holding hands in a huge circle, laughing because so many of the men-folk still don’t know any of the words, and then closing in prayer before getting in line for food. I always thought it was interesting since it isn’t really about…
