What About the Dishes – Part 2 (And Probably Some Other Stuff)

Midweek Musings

The last week and a half has been filled with one eye-opening experience after another. And here they all are! Smushed into one blog post in no particular order. via GIPHY Girl Scout cookies arrived on February 2nd. via GIPHY Since my 6-year-old is in a troop, my husband and I went a little nuts …

What about the dishes?

I have a confession. I’m in a Bible club. That’s not the confession. The confession is that I’m very confused. via GIPHY In Bible club we’re studying the Sabbath.

The Judgy Moms – Part Two

“Disgraceful. Utterly disgraceful,” Clarissa said, scrolling through thumbnail images on Facebook. “I know,” Becky said. “It’s like A.

Stealing Spiderman

Last week my husband celebrated the second anniversary of his 21st birthday. Unlike his first celebration of this glorious occasion, this one wasn’t as exciting….depending on one’s definition of exciting. My husband didn’t want much for his birthday which is a good thing because…well..he didn’t get much. I mean I love him and stuff but he …

Scouts, Soccer, & Human Sacrifice

With the kids back to school, the craziness at our house is in full gear. The six year old is in an after school program at his elementary school and attends Cub Scouts with my husband who is the den leader for that age group. I think. I’m not sure if he’s called “Den Leader” …
