The Oblivious Young Husband
“Don’t worry honey,” the older lady at the wedding rehearsal dinner leaned over the table conspiratorially and whispered to me, “he’ll learn tact one day.” First off, she was referring to my husband, the best man at the wedding. And second of all, she was wrong. I don’t think he ever did!

Don't Tell the Kids Mom's Got a Potty Mouth
If you take enough time to read what moms say on social media, you're likely to see a lot of them joking about how they're the kind of parent who swears a lot. It's regarded as humorous because generally speaking, parents are expected to maintain a certain image to their children, so of course a mother who drops the "F bomb" is going to be funny, edgy, and cool. I respect that kind of parent, and I find them great to have around as friends. In our home, with our four children, we tend to censor our language a bit; either way to live is okay, but I save my most colorful language for when the kids are in bed. That's just how we operate, and it works for us!

A Special Kind of Mom Guilt
I think it is safe to say that most moms are extremely excited to bring their little on into the world. The idea of bringing a new life into the world can be daunting, especially as a first time mom. Therefore, you do everything you can to be prepared as the big day approaches. You build a birth plan, organize the nursery, and assemble all the seemingly millions of pieces of furniture that your little one requires.

Open/Closed
A few months ago, my husband and I decided to open up our marriage. We have been together for over 11 years, married for 7. In theory, it's a great idea. Who wouldn't want to have some no-strings-attached fun with someone and then come home to your husband? Isn't that the dream most guys have? I thought so, too.

Aunt Rachel
To my Aunt Rachel, you are a strong woman. I have known you all my life. It wasn’t until recently though that I’ve really gotten to know you. I’ve always known you were Nana’s sister. I’ve always known you’ve liked those Rafellos as a present. I’ve known you were childhood friends with Uncle Dave before you becam his wife.

Without YOU there is no ME
Sometimes I have so much to say: so many unspoken I love yous and thank yous for all you've done for me and gave me but...A gasp of fear that it might be the last time I ever say those words to you stops me, to keep a hope inside me that we always have tomorrow.

Going Home
My father walked me down the aisle when I was 19 years old. As we stood in the back of the chapel waiting for our cue he squeezed my hand and said "Are you sure? Just let me know and we'll keep on walking out the back door." I laughed and told him I was sure.

How I Pranked My Mom
I live in a small town called Evansville and in the flat state of Indiana. Don't worry, this isn't like one of those Pinterest recipes you saw that start off talking about the Pilgrim age of doing things. I'll do my best to get straight to the point. My husband and I pranked my mom. Well, really it was his idea, and I might have tweaked some wording to make it sound like me.

I saw You in a Dream Be Like Me
I am very cautious when I hear people tell me that I dream of you. After, this story maybe you will understand my experience. Well I met my spiritual mom as I was working at my second job. We started sharing our experiences with each other. I would talk to her on the phone often. Then one day was different she said she had to share something with me and as I sat on my mom’s floor about a local pastor being her husband. I told her who I thought he was. She was surprised that I knew and from that day I became her witness to share with her the things I saw and knew about this relationship.
