I am by no means an expert on baby sleep, but the (very) general sleep pattern that my girls seemed to have followed is: 0 to 2 months old: sleeps most of the day, but also wakes up often. She is still getting used to being outside of the womb. 2 to 4 months old: the […]

Welcome to today’s installment of Reverent Sundays, where I write about an aspect of my faith. This can deal with recent books I have read on Christianity, my thoughts on religion and current issues, as well as particular messages I find touching and/or powerful.

I love that there is a dollar store within walking distance to our home, because it is a great place to find cheap sources of entertainment for Claire (e.g., helium balloons).

A couple of months ago, I was making conversation with a nice, elderly lady at church. And typical of mothers who do not know each other well, we defaulted to the topic of our children. “Just thirteen months apart? That must be tough!” she exclaimed when I told her about Claire and Aerin. “Yes, but […]
I like books, gadgets, spicy food, and art. I dislike shopping, hot weather, and the laws of entropy. Although I am a self-proclaimed computer nerd, I still have a love for handbags and makeup... and I am always teetering on high heels. To learn more about me, visit the "About" page.
