Science, the Enemy or the Confirmation?
I grew up surrounded by the belief that science was the antithesis of faith. Evolution theory was the bane of the Christian existence and all these scientists thought they could disprove the existence of God. I struggled with this because I quite liked science and it was one of my best subjects in school. Why… Continue reading

The Frozen River
By: Ariel Lawhon Medium: Audiobook Recommend (Yes, No, Maybe So)?: Yes Spicy?: No “To Kill a Mockingbird” but for grownups. That’s all I could think as I read this book.

When Being a Woman Sucks
Period ranting, you’ve been warned “Sucks” is a “bad word” in my house, but it seemed appropriate for today because periods SUCK!

An Open Letter to Moms Like Me
Hey Friend, I wish I was meeting you over coffee, preferably in a REALLY quiet coffee house, or maybe a library that allows coffee. Because, let’s be honest, life is very loud and chaotic right now, so some quiet would be a blessing. My kids were arguing and fighting again this morning too, and honestly… Continue reading

“One Day I’ll Have a Squishy Tummy Too”
I love my mom, but I didn’t grow up with an example of body positivity. I saw my mom as beautiful and talented, but that’s not how she saw herself and she spoke that out loud, often. I definitely believe she would not have done this had she known the full scope of what those… Continue reading
