I’m a 27-year old wife and stay-at-home mom to 3 kids.  These are two of the biggest parts of my life, and very good parts they are.  I struggle at times to reconcile the facets of my life and to feel like I’m still ‘myself’ and not just the roles and responsibilities that describe me. I love time alone to write, and find that when i get alone with pen and paper (or, here, my MacBook,) the chaos in my mind all settles into something more coherent– i think more effectively through written word. So this is good.  You’ll see I talk a lot about my kids, get a kick out of the little things in life, and have an affinity for longish sentences peppered with plenty of punctuation.

But also, there’s this:  I believe that we’re all more alike than different.  That “there is nothing new under the sun;” that our human experience is made of the same elements (joy, sorrow, struggle, growth… ) played out through endless variations of circumstances.  And that it is easier to work through the hard stuff and more rewarding to cherish the good stuff when we know we are not alone in it. So I tell you about what goes on in my life to relate, to do my bit to break down walls and connect; striving ever onward to follow Christ in all i do.
