Last week, I experienced the pinnacle of my summer so far. The true highpoint. The zenith. The mountaintop! Before Micah was born, this was the moment I dreamed about. What was this moment you ask? Why, swimming lessons, of course! I know, I can be over-the-top sometimes. I’m not sure why, but this was one […]
I Have a Fish Phobia and I Went to the Aquarium!!
Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve held a not so deep, dark secret: I’m afraid of fish. I can’t say when or where this fear, known as ichthyophobia, developed because I honestly don’t remember.

He’s Not Eating and I’m Exhausted!

The weekend started off with a Mother’s Day service at church, where I was blessed with the opportunity to share my story and speak about what God has done […]
From Dr. Wife to Mrs. Mom
I recently quit my job…and by job, I mean residency. As those in the field can attest, this isn’t something that happens often.
