  • The Science of Snuggling

    The Science of Snuggling

    I don’t remember the exact day my husband came home and changed our daily routine. We’d been married for over 15 years and had developed a good working relationship. That particular day he had been researching depression, my lifelong frenemy, and had come upon an article that had shouted out the effects that cuddling can…

    Fear Not

    Fear: (verb) To feel a painful apprehension of some impending evil; to be afraid of; to consider or expect with emotions of alarm or solicitude.

  • What Boston Taught Me About Indy

    What Boston Taught Me About Indy

    The idea of moving again is one that fills my heart with trepidation. How many high schools will we have to attend before all five of our kids get through? But recently, my husband and I found ourselves on a flight to Boston, ready to check out about 15 different schools to see if there…

    To My College Freshmen Self

    Right now, it may feel like life can’t get any more challenging. I know it seems scary, overwhelming, desperately lonely and incredibly expensive. Going grocery shopping by yourself for your own kitchen in your first apartment seems like a monumental task. I know, I’ve been there (and I still called my mom so she could…

    Postpartum

    I’m pretty sure most girls grow up thinking about their future lives in terms of qualities and quantities. A handsome, dark haired husband with blue eyes. Four children. A well appointed home with a white picket fence. The perfectly suited career that allows you to stay home with your children. We are told to dream;…

  • I’m a Genetic MTHFR

    I’m a Genetic MTHFR

    No. I’m not cussing. Although if you had my genetic makeup, you might want to cuss too. MTHFR stands for methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase, but it’s really just a gene mutation that makes it hard for people to convert B vitamins. Enzymes don’t work properly and so they (we) have methylation problems. In this day and age…

  • The Joy of Cooking?

    The Joy of Cooking?

    I hate to cook. Let’s just get that out there. I am surrounded by women, like my own mother, who are magnificent cooks. They make meals a work of art I can’t even comprehend. When we went to San Diego to visit over the last Christmas break, my kids said they’d never been so full…

  • Frequencies

    Frequencies

    I’m fascinated by the idea that every living thing has its own energy vibrating at different frequencies. Even solid materials like rocks vibrate and have an energy field at the quantum level. We are made up trillions (+) of atoms which produce, emit, and receive energy. Our tissues, cells, even our thoughts, have energy frequencies…

  • Calming the Sea Within

    Calming the Sea Within

    So often in life we find ourselves in troubling and difficult circumstances. We wonder why the Lord is asleep when there are storms raging all around us. As I pondered Matthew 8: 23-27, I once again found myself wondering why it was so imperative to include these five verses showcasing the disciples’ lack of faith.…
