[from the archives] My kids were sick with the stomach flu (again) this week and this post came to mind. I thought it was worth re-sharing. My kids had the stomach flu last week, meaning there was lots of vomiting…everywhere…for days. This is never fun as a parent. Never. Once the sickness subsided and life … Read this post

Marriage is dying, but not in the way we might think. I, for one, didn’t really care much about marriage when I was younger. I came from a divorced home, feeling separated from my father before I could even form a full memory of his face. I watched both parents remarry and felt the pain … Read this post
