I’m exciting for the weekend but hurting too. Kat is coming over for girls night today. Cara is hosting an Easter Egg hunt for the kiddos Saturday and Gina and Lindsey will be there. I need to find a way to see Melissa and Raechel so I can see all my friends in one weekend! … More Fast Four
Annecia moved in with us last month and last week her car broke. We had three options: Let her figure it out Buy a beater for her to drive Buy a new car for us and let her drive Danny’s car. In the first, she has no means to get a car and without one she’d … More Choose Love
Dinner conversations around here can be hard to come by. Even though we see Mr. B three times a week for dinner (and maybe in part because we do), our polarizing world views keep our safe topics to a minimum.

I love Danny now more than ever and if I had to do it again today I’d be more enthusiastic and excited than the first time because like fine wine, Danny only gets better with age. That said, marriage isn’t always easy. As previously noted I’ve been in a … More Year 5

Life has been stressful and I’ve felt blue but I wouldn’t have really said I was depressed depressed. I suffered serious teenage angst and learned to counter … More Currently
There are so many things going on in the news that I don’t know where to begin. I miss the days when national tragedies happened a few times a year verses a few times a week (day). First and foremost, we need to prioritize our help for those in Puerto Rico and other Caribbean nations. … More Take the Knee
It’s crazy hot and humid around here but I will not let that put a damper on my sweater weather season.
