I can’t believe it’s been 7 months since I last wrote a post about my struggle with depression. It’s been an on-again-off-again-hate-hate relationship depression & I.  For the past few weeks we’ve been -unfortunately- joined at the hip.  (Which may explain last Sunday\’s tirade of a post.

talk about tongue tied, eh?

Today I was thinking about what a messy Christian I am, and have been.  The things that make me truly messy I don’t blog about (often, that is) so you probably think I’m some sort of goody two shoes –which I am soooooo, not.  Ask my husband. Or my 5 best friends. Or my last […]

Were going to meet him tomorrow - scary or no?! :)

I’m pretty excited that we are headed to Chicago tomorrow for a family-fun-vaca-mommy-blogger trip.

Hi friends of mine who wouldn’t include yourself in the “Christian” category, How are you?  Good?  Good.  I’m great. So, last week I got an idea to write an open letter to any of you, my blog readers, who aren’t Christians.  Why?  I get sort of sick of all these obnoxiously irrelevant blogs speaking Christanese […]
