Javan and Tiras,
I love you, and I’m sorry.
Foster care, like parenting or driving a car, is one of those experiences that can’t really be understood until you’re doing it. Months of classes, home visits, and conversations with other foster...
Ah winter, that great time of year when we get to bust out the boots and sweaters and hats and scarves. Winter used to be my favorite time of year. But since my kids joined our family, I’ve decided...
It's difficult to quietly exit the house and leave your kids while they're sleeping. Without saying "good morning," "goodbye" or without receiving those giant running bear hugs. I sat in the dark car and looked down at the heart drawn on my...
When I had my first child, I was working in the marketing department of a large corporation. The job was fine, but it certainly wasn't anything I was super passionate about. However, my husband had just started his own...
We go to church. Sometimes. Our church isn't traditional; there are no shiny pews to slide down or hymn books to flip through. There is a coffee bar in the lobby and "jeans are fine" policy, the latter of...

The library books are overdue (again). Groceries are spilling out of plastic bags strewn across the kitchen counter. The checkbook needs to be balanced. Text message alerts are pouring in from the phone, which is buried somewhere in the...
It's no secret that it takes a village to raise a child. It's not only necessary for your survival as a mother, but it means having comrades that understand you. Fellow moms know the good, bad and ugly of...

As moms we all face the constant threat of clutter. There are always little minions going behind us, poised...

I love those mommy moments where you look at your baby (no matter the age) and suddenly, time slows to a crawl. The rest of the world fades away and the smallest of details start to sharpen and stand...
Do you the remember holidays when you were a child? What is it that you remember, is it presents? A specific toy that you pined for? Something your parents paid a mint and battled crowds for? If you and...
