You never know how badly you need your Momma until she’s gone. Mine moved 400 miles away and I thank God I’ve had her to lean on over the past few days while on vacation. My husband and I nearly ended our marriage in March. Him, the confused boy, afraid of women because of the […]

When Peanut was a baby, I wished there were interactive theatre experiences. While we’re beyond that stage now, many of my friends aren’t and I think it would be a pleasant field trip for them. After all, anytime you can get rid of the “mommy uniform” and dress in something that isn’t stained and smells […]
Onward + Upward

In February, I gave birth to a chubby, redheaded, vampire-skinned boy. And for the last five months, I’ve spent every day with him. It’s been a wonderful experience and I’ve learned a lot.

Online safety as a parent is something we all worry about. I met my husband in a chat room in 1998 and before I would meet him (after emailing for 5 months), I had a criminal record check done. Most people will meet someone online in the next 30 minutes and meet them for drinks […]
Killing All the Unicorns

I’ve always been sensitive to my daughter’s emotions. For years, my husband and I altered words to ensure we didn’t hurt her tiny membranes. Instead of sick, we’d say someone was “lying down.” If someone died, we’d used the word “passed.” My husband and I tiptoed around the sadness of life like clumsy ballerinas. The […]
Survivor: Jamestown at the Charlotte Museum of History

Could you survive one year as a settler in 1607? No modern conveniences. No grocery stores. No restaurants. No Starbucks?!?!?! I’m picturing how I would do without my smartphone. Wait? What would I do without a bathroom. I’m not a camping in the rough kinda of gal. My idea of roughing it is heading to […]
