7 Quick Takes Friday!

7. It’s been really quiet over here because we had a house guest! My dear, dear family friend Glo who was present at Maggie’s birth came to visit this week (and to see Maggie for the first time since her birth!). We had a blast.

7 Quick Takes Friday — Game Changers

Obligatory Mother’s Day Post

I have a love/hate relationship with Mother’s Day. Unsurprisingly, I don’t remember the first several Mother’s Days of my life. Then, when I was seven, my mother died. Following that were 17 Mother’s Days spent like a fish out of water, giving cards and gifts to the many “mothers” in my life, trying

In Music City, Girls in Pearls, and the Best Mother’s Day Gift Ever

7. Oh my goodness, it would seem it’s been two weeks since my last post. How I’ve missed you all. I was so busy getting ready for our trip to Nashville, then going on the trip to Nashville, then recovering from said trip. Then my child decided she didn’t need to nap…for three days. Two … Continue re

7 Quick Takes Friday

7. You guys, the farmer’s market opens next weekend. So excited! There’s a winter farm market, but it’s inside so it doesn’t have the same vibe as the summer one. So stinkin’ excited for the produce. The green onions, garlic scapes, chard, and whatever else might be there! What an adventure. 6. We’r

7 Quick Takes Friday

7. I bought bacon! I love bacon. We never, ever buy bacon. But I decided to get some because the nitrate-free stuff (the only kind I’ll eat) was on sale at Meijer. So, we’re having bacon this weekend. Just thought you’d like to know. Van Gogh’s “Starry Night” made from bacon. As all art should … Con

Catholic Birth Control?

Friends, I need to float an idea I’ve been chewing on for the last several days. Ever since I read the WaPo article about “re-branding” NFP, and then yesterday’s response, I’ve been turning them both over in my mind. Then I read Katie’s piece on both pieces, and that’s made me think even more. I … C

A Fair Few

Friends, I have a few things I need to share. First, wow. I did not intend my quick takes on Friday to be so controversial. So let me state this, really clearly so nobody misses it: WORKING MOTHERS ARE GREAT STAY AT HOME MOMS ARE GREAT End of story. I think it’s awesome that Michelle … Continue read

7. You guys, it’s 8:02 am and Maggie is still sleeping! It’s about an hour later than her usual wake up time. It’s awesome. I got to shower and drink a cup of coffee and I might even get to write this post uninterrupted. 6. I have a new job! I’ll be starting as a … Continue reading »

Car Talk

Ladies, we’re car shopping. It’s kind of overwhelming. We’re in the market for a family vehicle that will last us about 10 years or slightly more. We know we want more than two kids, which means we need something that seats more than five, what with the fact that you can only fit two car … Continue
