Our Unexpected Third Child

Most days, I’m happy to see a few visits. But other times, it feels like I’m just shouting into the void. Hello? Is anybody…

A Touch (Or a Truckload) of the ‘Tism
I knew at some point I’d write a mostly serious post. I just didn’t expect it to happen so soon—or for it to be about autism. But first, a word from our sponsors… Please understand: this post is about my experiences, feelings, and opinions on autism. I’d love to hear yours, too. I don’t expect…

I’m back! Sorry it’s taken me so long to get here this week—it’s been a weird few days. I have to admit, I think of this blog as a fantastically cozy little room. Soft lighting. A chair so comfortable you never want to move again. A calm place to sit for a few minutes and…

Thanks for the suggestion, WordPress!!
My biggest concern about starting a blog was, “What am I going to write about on a regular basis?” And that’s exactly where I found myself today—sitting here, staring at a blank screen, wondering what to write. While clicking around on WordPress, I noticed the “daily writing prompt.” Today’s prompt was: “Scour the news for…
