Grace
It’s been more than four years since I’ve written for this blog. I’ve been meaning to start back up, and I can’t think of a better time. Friends, this COVID-19 pandemic and the implications on our society are everything. It’s hard and necessary and unprecedented and inconvenient. It’s truly, truly hard to follow all of […]
Oversharing
Me, on a lighter night, coloring my hair and sending a silly selfie to a friend…. I could title this post any number of things. Over it. Living right. Can’t Erin anymore. All is well. ‘Roid rage. I’ve been all those places this week. And last. And maybe the week before. I’m on a 24-day […]
Follow the Course
So long, so sorry. But not, on the other hand. Because I have been very pensive lately, and I’m working on not feeling so guilty for not being perfect at so many things, for not pushing myself to the absolute limit in every facet of my life. I’ve been busy with my family. There was […]
I See You, January
You know that feeling you got when you were eight and the teacher somehow kept not seeing your raised hand every time she looked your way? I’ve recently volunteered (hard) for something. And God, or the Universe, or whoever she is, said no. Not now. You… You must wait. And then a series of other […]
In Every Moment
I’ve finally recovered my photos of this year’s hike to “Jess’s,” a section of my grandpa’s old farm that blooms with wild daffodils every March or April. Two Sundays ago, I had the awesome opportunity to hike there with my “aunt” Megan, a few years my senior. We both had babies strapped to our abdomens […]
Earning Her Wings
Our girl, Ava Cole, earned her wings today. My daughter Lily says she’s dancing and singing in heaven, and cousin Jayden says she’s got her long hair back, restored to perfect health. And I believe all of this and more. I believe that my life is so much better because of Ava. I know my […]
Going Through It
It’s been a somewhat long weekend of keeping four kids fed, bathed and happy while running to several different social functions. I had fun in showing off our new beautiful boy, as well as some of our new photos, to family and friends. Some of the family in town included my youngest uncle and his […]
Courage, Serenity and Wisdom
Another snow day… We finally escaped the house tonight for a trip to the mall for dinner and so the kids could play in the new play area. And, of course, another necessity trip to Wal-Mart. (It’s always something!) I have a lot of friends, mostly fellow mothers, who are sick of the snow. I’m […]
