Conversation between Husband & Wife

July 6, 2016 by Jill Leave a Comment

Impish grins, spit up, and glitter–everywhere

That’s what it’s like to have 4 little girls. Today I sang them a good morning song (think Happy Birthday!) along with huge hugs, and then proceeded to yell at them to hurry up and get out of the way the rest of the day. It happens. I didn’t get a shower and I have … [Read more…]

New Year, Same You…Or is it?

January 1, 2016 by Jill 1 Comment

January 1st is just another date on the calendar, another ticking of the same clock. Normally I make a few silly resolutions and let that be that. Yet somehow this artificial ‘new year’ springs a fresh hope in my heart. The last couple of weeks have been pretty dark here. Posting has taken a back … [Read more…]

https://www.goodreads.com/user_challenges/2005607   I’m not sure if the challenge will show up, but I read 57 books (some to pre-read for K) out of 50 in my challenge. I think I actually hit 50 adults books. Yippee!

Moments of a broken heart

December 14, 2015 by Jill 1 Comment

My 7 year old broke my heart last night. You could tell her words were coming from as deep a place as a 7 year old could pull from when she said “mom, thanks for stopping and taking the time to do my hair for me”– she was getting ready to read a passage at … [Read more…]

An honest look at post-partum with baby #4

November 29, 2015 by Jill Leave a Comment

It’s exhausting. It’s tiring. Those are 2 separate things. One has more to do with maintaining your previous schedule along with all the other new responsibilities and the other is just taking care of a newborn, you know?   Triage. The whole day is triage. From getting up and the 2 of us tag team-ing … [Read more…]

If someone could just name my kid.. that would be great…

July 22, 2015 by Jill 1 Comment

We’ve had boys names picked out for ages. No problem there. But we’ve named THREE girls already! The first names are fairly easy, although we want to find something that fits with the others, we still have quite a few options open, it’s the middle name that is SO hard.  First of all, the kids … [Read more…]

Introvert raising extroverts: Being daily overwhelmed in your own home

July 14, 2015 by Jill 2 Comments

It’s something that is rarely talked about in the parenting world. Sure, being overwhelmed with a new baby, or toddler tantrums is pretty normal and a topic most people can relate to-it takes a lot of time, you lose sleep or just peace in your day and it’s exhausting. Sleep fixes these things. But no … [Read more…]

Random life update

Baby #4 is half baked (20 weeks gestation roughly) and I have an ultrasound next week. Fingers crossed that the rest of our bloodwork comes back okay and that everything goes as smoothly or better than it has been.   Casey is 19 months now. She’s way more of a toddler tornado than I was … [Read more…]

What does Marriage Equality mean to me?

June 27, 2015 by Jill 2 Comments

Before cell phones, easily 20 years ago, probably longer, I answered the phone at my parents house and was asked to accept a collect call. It took a second to recognize the voice, but the distress inherent in the tone across the wires had me yelling for my dad. My aunt had suffered a stroke. … [Read more…]
