(In case youv’e not been keeping up with my recent hair drama, go here. From a smooth perm & cut last Winter (which I loved)… …I began a new hair phase. I made an effort to spend no money on my hair which then led to weave ponytails to 1/2 permed, 1/2 natural hair and […]

Christians with Exorbitant Wealth? Christians in Poverty? What’s Wrong with this Picture?
A guest post from: Mystery Guy from CA I spoke to a Christian business owner last week. Our nation’s economic downturn has washed away some of her income, and she has had subsequent challenges with her smarmy landlord (won’t alter lease, sending threatening lawyers, etc.). When she shared some of her woes with one of […]

baby name blues & other preggo news
I think other things may be bothering me, but right now it’s manifesting in not being able to choose a name for our baby. Is this completely redonkulous or what?

In the Case of the Missing Swiss Cake Roll Horcrux
Though he won’t admit it fully, my husband is addicted to chocolate. Whereas I can eat my chocolate treats slowly over the course of a week or two, he’ll devour every last piece of chocolate in our house in a day or two. In order to make peace we decided we would each get the […]
