Let's talk infertility! To me, it's like a dirty word. It represents everything that I hate about myself. And, yet, it is the thing that brought my children to me. Because let's face it, what are the odds that we would have gone out looking to adopt if I had been popping out babies like seemingly … Continue reading When Doctors Don’t Tell You What You Want To Hear.

I’d Like To Buy The World A Goat.
Race is a funny thing. You hear a lot of contradicting messages from the world. Be colorblind. Have pride in your race. I don't see color. You know how (insert race) people are. Why do they segregate themselves? There is no white privilege. That's reverse discrimination. (No such thing, by the way. It's all just discrimination.)I … Continue reading I’d Like To Buy The World A Goat.
Hospitals Have Great Mashed Potatoes But I Don’t Want To Go Back.
A handful of weeks ago, (has it really been that long??), we found ourselves at the hospital with William. My experience with hospitals is limited. I had a hernia operation when I was a kid but most of my memories involve me grossing out my friends by showing them my incisions. I also remember my mom surprising me … Continue reading Hospitals Have Great Mashed Potatoes But I Don’t Want To Go Back.
My Son And Honesty…Or Lack There Of.
I've been trying to write this post about William for awhile. (If you are reading this, by the way, that means he is cool with it.) I get a little written and then plan to go back to it and then get sucked into the mom trenches. Before I get back to finish, something else has happened and I … Continue reading My Son And Honesty…Or Lack There Of.
And Life Just Keeping Going.
It is amazing how hard it is to keep up with my blog with half of my kids home. I thought that homeschooling would free up so much time but it turns out time flies regardless of whether it's filled with obligation, school work or fun. But, I'm not complaining. I'm just observing. I love … Continue reading And Life Just Keeping Going.
Resolving To Be Better!
It's a new year and I definitely am one to succumb to the allure of new year's resolutions. And I have several. I want to declutter, spend more time with friends, save money, and as is traditional, I want to lose weight! Or as I like to call it, I want to adopt a healthier lifestyle. I want … Continue reading Resolving To Be Better!
Race and Shifting Perspectives.
When I was a kid, I was very aware of the perceived differences between black and white people and the basic separation. It was rare to see an interracial couple and when you did, it was a big deal. And not necessarily in a good way. I didn't have an issue with it, but, yeah, … Continue reading Race and Shifting Perspectives.
New Homeschool Adventures…Kind Of.
If you've been following my blog then you know that we started this whole homeschooling thing because William had trouble with bullies at school. (If you haven't been following my blog, then , fyi, we started this whole homeschooling thing because William had trouble with bullies at school.) Before everything went down with the bullying, the … Continue reading New Homeschool Adventures…Kind Of.
