Wife, mom, writer, Christ-follower, reader, knitter, baker... writing about life in general and everything that goes along with it.
From the monthly archives:
When it comes to novels, my regular readers know I like books that provide plenty of mystery.

Despite the title of this post, I technically do not have an iPhone. But I do have an iPod Touch, and the wonderful thing about the iPod Touch is that you can use nearly every iPhone app on it.

If you were to visit our house today (and I advise you to not do so), you would find three people sitting around the living room coughing.
It all started Thursday night. C. (11) was coughing a bit before bed, but I thought Hey, no big deal. Kids cough sometimes. But then he visited our room [...]

C. turned eleven a little more than a week ago.
Eleven.
That’s just crazy. It seems like we were just talking to him about how he was a whole decade old, and then — poof! — another year just flew by.
C.’s birthday was a fairly simple affair this year. Breakfast out at one of our favorite places, Panera. A looooong bike [...]

Back in June, I posted about some smoothies we’d been enjoying. And in that post, I mentioned that I wanted to (eventually) try a “green smoothie” — i.e., a smoothie containing greens, specifically spinach. I also said that I’d let you know if I worked up the fortitude to actually give one a try.
