She woke up at midnight as soon as Big Friend’s hand touched her back.  She sat up.  Palmed her bangs out of her face.  Said, “Oh hi.  We need to go into the bathroom.”  Big Friend, home from a week’s business trip to Denmark, rubbed her sweaty back.  Tucked her back in.  Promised a trip to the bathroom in the morning.  ”No, Dad,” her groggy voice insisted.  ”I saved a goldfish for you.  I left it in the bathroom.”  Read more >

A Mom's Ache: Motherhood Is Like Breaking Your Toe

moms ache

The first step of becoming a mother is stubbing your toe. (See? Told you I’d get back around to it.) Something in you breaks. It’s not an essential something. It’s not a something that changes how you look. Or a something that cripples permanently. It’s a something that might change how you act in small ways. It certainly changes how you feel. It’s a something that leaves behind a tender ache. An ache that can be triggered when you stub your heart against a child’s tear or smile of joy.  Read more >

About Me: 

Hi there! I'm Beth.  I'm a desert baby (born in Phoenix, Arizona), who grew up on 40 acres of Pennsylvania farmland (in Williamsport, PA), who has spent oodles of time imagining an expatriate life in France, and who has happily made a home in Pittsburgh, PA.  I'm still deciding what to be when I grow up, but so far I've discovered passions for teaching English, marketing for an ADD/ADHD clinic, and mothering a three-year-old who, I might as well say it, wins the cutest kid ever contest (as far as this mama's vote is concerned.)  I'm grateful my little slice of life allows time for good books, long runs, home-cooked meals, heart-to-hearts with dear friends, and God's grace that covers it all.  With coffee and chocolate close at hand, I keep track of all things bright and beautiful in my life at Belle Squeaks.
