Part of my job involves people asking me to give them things like "statistics" and "analytics" and other complex measurements. That is not my favorite part of my job because I have a complicated relationship with numbers. Mostly in that I hate them. This is why I chose to become a writer, because words make sense to me and numbers make me want to ugly cry. (I am not exaggerating. Ask my ninth ... View Post
Life Hacks For New Moms
The other day I was chatting with some new moms about how adding a new baby to the family is beautiful and amazing and also sometimes sends the entire household order into a total tailspin.

Remember when I tried really hard to persuade my husband into a woodland themed nursery for our daughter and he totally vetoed it?

My Visit To Focus On The Family + Sightseeing In Colorado Springs
In December I flew to Colorado Springs, Colorado at the gracious invitation of Focus on the Family to be a guest on their show. I was so honored to be asked and also incredibly nervous about this because for one thing, that is a lot of people listening to me talk and for another, I had to fly over mountains to get there. In an airplane. I am a girl who does not like to fly places or experience ... View Post
