Honest Motherhood
When my son was born, my partner kept telling me I was strong. The strongest person he'd ever met. Most days I didn't feel strong. Most days I felt really tired, a little weepy and overwhelmed.

6 Important Benefits of Daycare Nurseries for Young Children
Childcare is a need for most guardians since most families require double wages to get going financially. Some parents settle on a personal decision to keep working and maintain a strong home life to serve all individuals from the family.

Koda's Birth Story
On Sunday, December 29th 2019 my second son, Koda Fike, was born. Oh boy did he decide to arrive in the most interesting of ways! I wanted to share this birth story for the purpose of how it played out like a scene from some sort of comedy movie, and to also emphasize how every birth is so completely and utterly different.

His name is James
Usually when a woman finds herself with child, she, her family and her friends, begin to draw up pictures in their mind of what that child may be like. This is what I call, The Fairy Tale Stage. This is for many, the most beautiful part of pregnancy. The hours spent in quiet contemplation alone imagining the baby that you will soon hold in your arms and the others spent with others discussing names and making plans for the kind of parent you're going to be. For others, it can become devastating, which is the side of the coin that is rarely spoken of.

Dream house
This is a church in Fayetteville, Arkansas that I was lucky enough to get to play acoustic music in while I was on tour years ago. This would be my dream home. A beautiful structure surrounded by greenery and open air. I would not change anything about the space, and would use it for recording music and having performances. Maybe I would build a separate structure for guests to stay in and also a separate shower and restroom. A big open space like the bathrooms I’ve seen in Sweden before. I would hike throughout the day and make music and cook and be completely self sufficient.

Wanderer
Life is no Rubik cube. At least I find it difficult to fix every aspect in its exact place. My life is a kaleidoscope, where joy and sorrow twirl together in a colorful mixture. So I walk. I walk through life and I walk through the fields surrounding my little town. Some steps take me closer to love ones, some steps are a mistake, but that’s life.

Growing up
when I was younger we didn’t have cellphones, game systems or even TVS to keep us busy. “Come home when the street lights turn on” is what my mom would always say to my sister and I. In the summer, from the moment we woke up until at least dinner we were outside playing with our friends, making mud pies or making forts. That was our form of entertainment. We also grew up in a “low income” family or as some like to call it “poor” we had toys dont get me wrong; but they were basic toys, we didn’t mind, we had our imagination and we were happy.
