Happy 1st Birthday, Claire Emmanuelle!
My firstborn daughter turns one year old today! What a difference a year makes… We will be spending the day preparing, and celebrating at her first birthday party where I hope to finally get some updated pictures of my big girl with her loving family. Claire, you know that I could write a novel describing […]
The Konami Code Meets “The Last Supper”
I don’t think that I will ever forget the Konami Code. Do you remember it? (As a Christian, I don’t find this spoof offensive at all. Da Vinci might, but me, no. I’m pretty certain that God has a good sense of humor, and that Jesus himself would have enjoyed video games if they were around […]
My (Almost) 1-Year-Old, and 35 Weeks Pregnant
Exactly one year ago today, I began to go into labor with Claire. Sure, we were sent home from the hospital at first, but we returned 10 hours later to be immediately admitted and our Claire Emmanuelle was born at 9:35pm on September 30, 2010. I can’t believe my little girl will be turning 1 […]
The Four Types of Mario Party Participants

Loving One Child More
One of my biggest fears about becoming a parent to more than one kid is that I will, one day, find myself loving one child more. Is it possible to love all your children equally? Absolutely. But as today’s Motherlode article, titled “Do ALL Parents Love One Child More?” states, MOST parents end up preferring one […]
‘The Princess Bride’ Monopoly [I Want!]
The Princess Bride is one of my all-time favorite books. Sure, the movie has its moments (“MAH-widge…MAH-widge is what bwings us together today. Wove, twoo wove…”), but as with most big screen adaptations of novels, I feel that the film version — while doing a great job of including most of the best parts of the […]
