L is 16 today! We got her a beautiful cake and a gift card to a makeup store. Tonight we'll take her out to dinner. Easter yesterday was lovely.

Enjoying New England

We're up in New England. I'm from up here, and it's nice to come back where I came from. The water, the history, the rocky granite landscape that formed me down to my bones - it's nice to be back at the source even if I prefer Colorado or Florida. We got here last Sunday, … Continue reading Enjoying New England

It's partly about traditional marriage, femininity, and gender roles. But it's also a diary of my life as a wife and mother. In addition to my work … Continue reading Blogging Life

Short Update

Regular articles will be back soon. Today's life update is that we took an interesting tour of the Pentagon. Then I got fillings at the dentist. My inlaws seem to be enjoying themselves. Church will be virtual tomorrow because of the snow. I went to the Pentagon in my wheelchair because there's no way I … Continue reading Short Update
