For as long as I can remember and was aware of what childbirth actually entails, I have wanted a natural delivery experience. The delivery of my first child could not have gone more smoothly. So, when things didn’t go quite according to plan with both my second and third babies, you might imagine it took some getting used to. I’m …
RE-Connect
I love Fridays. You do, too? Awesome! Well, along with the myriad other reasons to love Friday, I love it because I get to hang out – if only in theory – with the likes of LisaJo Baker and some other amazing writers as we all get together for Five Minute Friday! LisaJo gives us a topic and we all …
A Worldwide Sisterhood
If you’ve ever been on a plane, you’ve seen her. If you’ve ever been to the airport to pick up a friend or loved one, you’ve seen her. Perhaps you’ve even been her! You know exactly who I’m talking about: She’s the one who’s hair, once sleeked back into a stylish ponytail, now sticks more up and out than contained …

When The Lights Go Out
I absolutely love our kitchen. It is spacious – which is a rarity in these parts – and is full of warm colors perfect for weathering the long, dark days of an Irish winter; and the unpredictable summers that are so famous to this area. It’s big enough to host a family with loads of kids for dinner and yet …
