Traveling with toddlers. Not exactly something any of us jump up and down at the prospect of doing. But against all fighting odds, I’ve kinda turned into a pro over the past 5 years. Since each of my girls were just a few months old, I’d singlehandedly load us all up for bi-monthly three-hour drives…

Get in bed. Now.
Gotcha! Get your minds out of the gutter. You well know this is not *that kind* of website. But I am going to ask all sleep deprived parents to get in bed. I’ll make this short and sweet: I’m pretty sure my activities this last week have now attacked my tonsils and are purposefully trying to take me…
Lip service you need to know… and tell yourself.
Resilience. I’m fascinated by it. Turns out it’s an actual science that’s, like, studied and stuff. Very cool.

Faith and strange places.
Lots of things happening lately. Lots of things in strange places. Places I’ve never been before. Despite your undying efforts to put on your fabulous shoes, you sometimes you find yourself standing where you’d never thought you be standing. So you stand. And you think.
