Now this is a story all about how my faith got flipped, turned upside down: How My Kundalini Yoga And Meditation Practice Has Only Illuminated My Catholic Faith Catholicism isn’t exactly known for being new age-y. I’m thinking more like traditional, routine, disciplined- that’s more like it. Not to say that I have found my Catholic faith to be boring,…
This weekend was a whirlwind of poop. [Well, let’s hope Little Tallman doesn’t start a blog anytime soon because it doesn’t sound too promising.] Let’s start again. This weekend was a whirlwind of all of my Core Desired Feelings, a la The Desire Map! Remember when I posted about that? Well, good stuffity stuff happened: I worked on my email…

Hi y’all! I’m comin’ at ya with my Southern Drawl because I am about to serve you up some delicious goodness: the easiest recipe for Crepes eva.

I’m going to let you in on something that concerns me, quite a bit. I don’t know what to do about it, in a community-wide sense, and I don’t know what the repercussions are, if any, but I believe it has to have some kind of effect.

Guys, seriously, I know I have a blog. But just so we’re clear, I have no idea what the heck I’m doing. I can’t even wing my eyeliner right. I’m making it all up as I go along. There is not a ton of wisdom that you’re going to get from me, especially if I’m sitting down trying to come…

A dream is a wish your heart makes. And dreams can sometimes change. Once upon a time, I dreamed to be a public school music teacher. I did everything I needed to do and I got that job! And it was awesome! Then I became a mom, and my dreams shifted. The concept of having someone else watch my kids…

Introverts have come into light recently. It’s like they’re the underdogs in our abrasive world, and they’re really the ones that have engineered everything. I read Quiet by Susan Cain, or I suppose skimmed it because it was for a book study I did when I was working. I found it very interesting, and I also found myself trying to identify…
I just had one of the best weekends of my life, honestly. In the top ten. It was just a weekend of being together harmoniously. Ha- with a family of 5, that is a bit of a feat! We did nothing remarkable, exciting, or adventurous. Saturday: did some cleaning, talked to my bff on the phone, the girls had playdates,…
