It never ceases to amaze me how much has to happen for a womyn to become pregnant. I’ve never been pregnant and decided, after much thought and deep prayer, that I want to be a mother.  My preference for beginning a family would be to have a biological child first and then adopt in a […]

Our Garbage Disposal

has been acting up and I hate when it looks like someone vomited in the sink and I have no ability to drain it. With that lovely image in your minds, Nick and I called our house insurance folks to have someone come and take a look at why it’s simply not turning on. And […]
