Many mornings I stand in our upstairs bathroom and watch my husband poke around the backyard with one or both children orbiting. He checks the bedraggled garden, pulling weeds and harvesting vegetables. Sometimes I can hear him talking: “These are tomatoes, Ransom. No, don’t eat. It’s not red yet.” He keeps the ragamuffins busy each morning so I can shower… Read more →
Last night just before 10 p.m. I decided that, while I was definitely not having a pregnancy craving, I would not mind at all if I could, at that moment, have some potato chips. We don’t ordinarily keep chips in the house because I gorge myself on them if they’re available. But this time I would not eat them all…. Read more →
Besides being rather exciting even for a grown-up girl (Nathaniel has been smirking at me over his coffee this morning while I watched parts of the ceremony), Prince William’s marriage to Kate Middleton provides a perfect opportunity for a little chatter about the state of marriage in America and the Western world. The Christian Science Monitor put up an article… Read more →
I’ve been blogging for almost a decade and it has taught me at least one thing: People are kind enough to listen when you need. So right now I’m going to tell you a story, and the reason for telling it, in the opposite order. I’m having a rough time keeping sane right now. I have too many things to… Read more →
Love, Technology, and Elections Seems like everyone’s talking about the big GOP governor wins in the two off-year states: NJ and VA. Another cheer for VA.

Virgins Marry Jesus (?!) I’m not really sure what to think of this article about a woman becoming a perpetual consecrated virgin in the Catholic church. As far as I can tell (and I’m certainly neither theologian nor extremely well-educated in theology), the Bible says that the Church is Christ’s bride, not individuals within the Church. It’s a little spooky… Read more →
