Give OR take a bit; it was roughly 4 years ago that you said what you said. You said that my family structure didn’t deserve the same recognition as yours did. You asked me, as I stood in front of you, with a growing fetus in my belly, how was I was created; I said ‘my mother and my father’. You … [Read more...]
Today I took my 3 year old daughter with to vote because…… #ImWithHer
Let me clarify, today my wife took me and our 3 year old daughter with her to vote. We were all excited to cast our, one, ballot - making history, as we voted for the FIRST ever woman on the ballot for President of the United States. Exciting times we're living in. I joined my wife as she … [Read more...]
Why we want to be included – but realize we are ‘different’
We want equal rights, we fight for them, we tell anyone who will listen that we want and we demand equality. Our family is a family just as much as yours is. As we are on this road to raising Gradie, I realize more and more often, that while we are the same as your family, two adults, with a … [Read more...]
Why I won’t judge and why I forgive The Duggars!!
I want to judge them, oh my goodness do I want to. We know their viewpoints and very outspoken disapproval of homosexuality. We know that they have judged me without knowing me, they’ve judged my family without knowing us, we know how they’ve judged us all. But I won’t judge the … [Read more...]
Why I didn’t ‘love’ the infant stage – and why I’m OK with that!!
That’s right – I didn’t love the infant stage, I might venture into saying I didn’t like it either. Please do NOT get me wrong – do not take this post as meaning I do not love my child, because my God I love her more than any words could ever explain, so I won’t attempt to portray my love her … [Read more...]
Morning Routine of Two Working Moms!
You read the title right – I am a working mom; our home has two of us, that’s right TWO working moms. While we are by no means the only ones out there attempting this crazy feat, we have a blog so we can share about it (and you’re here so you are reading about it). I recognize that working moms … [Read more...]
That moment I realized…………
- One day you won't want me to carry you anymore, even when I want to, just because, so I’ll work harder at savoring the moments now when you’re saying (very firmly, in your incredibly cute toddler voice) UPPIE, UPPIE! - One day you won’t want me to play with you anymore, so I’ll work harder … [Read more...]
I am a tiger…..
Or something like that. There has been a lot of talk lately of woman yelling from the rooftops (or their laptops) that they’re in love with their bodies – just.as.they.are! Meaning – they’ve had a kid, or 2, or 5 – their bodies are marked up, scared, and stretch marked (stretch marks = tiger … [Read more...]
You’re still doing that?
Breastfeeding………..but she’s 19 months old…….. Yes, yes I am still breastfeeding my beautiful daughter. When I started on this journey I said I’d feed her for maybe 9 months, but early on thought well if you go to 9 months, why would you give her formula for 3 more months, might as well go to 12. … [Read more...]
So that’s how that happens…….
I will be the first to tell you I can be somewhat judgmental. I know how easy it is to judge others when you are not in their shoes, and you have no idea how what they’ve been through. Like the saying – “Walk a mile in their shoes” or something like that. Nonetheless, it is so easy for us to … [Read more...]
