I seem to be in a constant state of feeling young v. feeling old. Really old. While I typically feel pretty good about my age, my body, my emotions, my general state of being, sometimes I just plain feel old. Like when I think about how I'll be 34 years old when I have my … Continue reading On being older than I feel….

On fighting with the family…
And so begins the holiday season! The leaves are changing and the weather is definitely getting colder and gloomier. For the east coast, this happens much later than I'm used to. In Colorado, if it hasn't snowed by the time we're donning our Halloween costumes, we start screaming about heat waves! And then Mother Nature … Continue reading On fighting with the family…
On unexpectedly falling in love….
I was asked the other day how I've felt about my body since I got pregnant. It was a hard question to think of an answer to, at least initially. I don't know a lot of women that like talking about their body image, regardless of if it's good or bad. In a matter of … Continue reading On unexpectedly falling in love….
On sticking around….
I wish I could say I'm a master of some sort of something. I'm not. I'm the epitome of "jack of all trades, master of none." I can bake, cook, do makeup and hair, write, sing, dance, play piano, plan the crap out of weddings and events, and sell cheese. Just to name a few. … Continue reading On sticking around….
On what I want to be….
There are a lot of things that I've been known to want to "be" in my nearly-35 years. In grade 6, I wanted to be a pediatric endocrinologist. I literally have no idea what that is, but I was certain I wanted to be one. I think it's a doctor for children. No clue. Probably … Continue reading On what I want to be….
On embracing new challenges….
It's National Blog Posting Month. I'd never even heard of this until I was scrolling through my Facebook feed at 5:30 this morning. I seem to find the most random information that early in the morning. Which begs the question: What interesting information will I come across during midnight baby feedings? At any rate, November … Continue reading On embracing new challenges….
On singing through life….
Okay, Amy Courts tagged me on Facebook (a long time ago) to come up with a list of my “Top 10 Most Influential Albums” so here goes. It’s worth noting that these are probably more “favorites” than anything, but they’re the ones I go back to over and over and over again, so I think … Continue reading On singing through life….
On embracing the peace and accepting the war….
Fair warning: This is a Jesus-related post. The whole ISIS situation has been weighing on me recently. More heavily than I expected it would. A lot of it has to do with my belief that so much of the world's problems could be solved (or, at the very least, lessened) if everyone took a little … Continue reading On embracing the peace and accepting the war….
On lessons learned (so far)….
The idea of raising a daughter instills a certain amount of fear in me. There's so much to teach little girls about life and so many things that could damage them (including, but not limited to, me, unfortunately). In a perfect world, I could either protect her from any and all harm or that harm … Continue reading On lessons learned (so far)….
On finding (what to do with) the time….
I was recently told that writing is a matter of one sentence at a time. So this is my attempt at that. I wake up every morning, motivated to do something remarkable with my day. And then...nothing. I hang out with my dogs and read the news. I text with my two girl friends who … Continue reading On finding (what to do with) the time….
