I did have two non-family main friends in elementary school, but I think my best friend at that stage of my life was my little sister. Since we were homeschooled, she was my most available and obvious playmate (there’s no friend so convenient as one who shares your room!), and we were fairly inseparable. In…
If we’re talking elementary school, I just don’t know. I was a voracious reader pretty much from the time I learned how. Books, magazines, product labels (ha!)…if there were words in front of me, I read them. Since elementary school books are pretty short, I read countless books at that time, and none stand out…
There are a few things that are pretty consistent on weekends: a date night church on Sunday mornings youth group for Zoe on Sunday evening But other than that, we don’t have a lot of things regularly scheduled, so weekends vary a lot. Some of the “varying part” options: Once a month, I have book…

This weekend, I learned from an Instagram post that there is a procedure to correct something known as a “gummy smile”. And honestly, I’m pretty annoyed about this. I mean, I thought hip dips were a dumb thing that someone made up for women to worry about. (I’ve got hip dips, and I never, ever…
I’ll pick a story that’s so familiar in my own house that it’s a running joke. When my little sister and I were kids, my mom ordered a set of two blankets for our bunk beds. One was smooth, and the other had kind of a waffle texture. The smooth one was infinitely superior in…
There are lots of things that are nice about being an adult, of course. But as an adult, there have been multiple times where I have looked back longingly at my childhood for this reason: it was great to not have to be ultimately responsible for very much. Of course, I had my own kid…
