A few things you should know before you read this post:
1) Elizabeth can be very hard to feed.
2) Baby food vegetables such as peas, spinach, and “Garden Vegetables” are notoriously nasty-tasting, but necessary, making meal time that much harder.
3) Paul and I are two completely different individuals, and accordingly, have two completely different methods […]

Paul and I were married for 9 years before we had Jane.
9 years.
That’s a long time to be together as a couple, sans kids. A long time to develop relational patterns, habits and routines.
For many years, our nightly routine consisted of dinner, Jeopardy (and sometimes “Wheel”), and then an evening spent together on the […]

Based on extensive market research, I have discovered that blog readers often walk away from (or at the very least, merely skim) some really good blogposts because of their length.
Many blogreaders are fully committed to reading a particular blog, but may find themselves with too little time to really read and absorb these verbiose […]

I’ve done it again.
Despite my earlier oath that I would “go to bed before midnight,” (said emphatically), here it is 12:14am, and I’m still up.
The best part is that when I was searching for an image of a clock, it was 12:10, so I was looking for a clock with that time on its face.
When […]

Who would’ve thought such an innocent question could have such a potentially loaded response?
Not me. At least not a few months ago.
This week it’s a different story. I’ve been asked that question a lot.
How do I answer this question in the face of current events and an unknown future? How can I answer and […]

“Feelings. Nothing more than feelings…”
You know the song, the cheesy lyrics, the 70’s piano-bar lounge music. So over the top.
Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about my feelings.
Maybe because I’ve been having so darn many of them in response to the many stressors in my life right now.
One of the things that I’ve been […]

…an actual post on something from my heart.
I started it just now, but we’re off to the Audiologist to have Elizabeth’s hearing check in 15 minutes, so I just can’t quite get it finished in time to post this morning.
Check back after lunch!

Is so awesome that they’ve spotlighted her on the Auburn Alum website.
Don’t believe me? Click here.
See? I told you.
I hope you can take the time to read the interview with her. It’s really neat.
She will probably be horrified that I have linked you to the spotlight. Horrified because she thinks photos of her are awful. […]

I know it’s been quite sometime since I’ve posted…so sorry to all of you, my faithful blog readers.
We’ve had some developments in the Martin house as of late, so I’ve been tied up (emotionally, spiritually, etc.) working through all the “stuff” of our lives.
So, here’s a little news to catch everyone up. (Hopefully I’ll post […]

I (Christy) bought my wedding dress this past week. It is beautiful and I love it. I realized very quickly after getting engaged that I know absolutely nothing about wedding planning. For example, dresses are typically chosen many many months before the wedding. I cut it really close at […]
