My husband James has begun a health quest that he has decided to post on Tik Tok. He was recently diagnosed with full-blown diabetes. I say “full-blown” because for years he has been on the cusp, labeled pre-diabetic. Because of this, James is starting to realize he needs to take better care of his health. Continue reading “Who We Are?”

Three AM Mayhem
Last night my husband and I were scrolling through the offerings on Netflix. Since he is a lover of horror and I am a lover of police procedurals we almost never agree on a show. Last night, however, we landed on something called Evil. Sounds pretty horror-ific, but the description reminded me of The X-Files,Continue reading “Three AM Mayhem”
TMI Mom!
It is a common thing in my marriage that when one of us is “in the mood” the other is not. I read somewhere that this is normal. That everyone has their own internal rhythm and that includes when their body is most interested in “gettin’ busy.” Unfortunately, my rhythm is set for around 4:00PMContinue reading “TMI Mom!”
It’s not Funny Anymore
I’m worried about my husband. At the beginning of the pandemic, I wrote about the fact my husband is an extrovert and I am an introvert. It was humorous at the time. Hundreds of memes have popped up around the idea that introverts are in their element. But it is less funny when the manContinue reading “It’s not Funny Anymore”
He/She Names

I worked in childcare as an undergraduate and Daegan was a two-year-old boy with soft brown curls and large golden-brown doe eyes. He was adorable and I wanted one just likeContinue reading “He/She Names”
Cat Litter Diary
“You should write a blog about this.” My daughter looks up at me from where she squats down by the litter box, sweeping up the scattered sand from a very enthusiastic digger. “What? About litter?” I laugh at the suggestion. “Yeah, there’s gotta be something there. How one kitten seems to take more joy inContinue reading “Cat Litter Diary”
Kindness
This quote stuck with me last weekend: “I would implore everybody who’s celebrating today to remember, it’s good to be a humble winner. Remember… four years ago? Remember how bad that felt? Remember, that half the country right now still feels that way.”-Dave Chappelle I wonder and worry as this year comes to an end.Continue reading “Kindness”
Sunday Stories
Remembered “Are you ready dear?” My wife’s soft silky voice came from behind. “I think so. How do I look?” I held my arms out from my body, awaiting her inspection. Her small, soft hands smoothed my collar. “You look perfect.” This was our routine—our ritual—and it calmed me. She wove her fingers with mine,Continue reading “Sunday Stories”
Sweet Dreams
You know that moment, those several seconds, right before you fall asleep? The moment where you have all your best ideas and your most awe-inspiring epiphanies? It was at that moment, two nights ago, that I had an idea. It was an idea that surprised and excited me. This is going to be amazing, IContinue reading “Sweet Dreams”
