It was the first night our second son slept upstairs in his own bedroom. The house was loud, with the sound of the dryer spinning clothes...

It all starts on Monday. Up before I want to be. Hurrying to eat, hurrying to feed babies, hurrying to negotiate. Incentives I offer, so...

Chances are if I’m not feeding babies, hushing tears away, cleaning dirty bottoms and the kitchen floor… I’m doing laundry. Our boys have...

My original title for this post was: Why 2014 Was Such A Good Year. Then I looked around the kitchen. I’m writing on day 8 of a 14 day...

It is December 22nd, and I’m still mailing Christmas cards. I lick an envelope sealed and wonder if it will carry the scent of goldfish...

Bwall, Bwall. He shouts it loud when he sees a ball. It is short like he is, and it is his word.  However it forms, it is correct. I love...
