Monday night, my kids were crowded together on the couch watching Phineas and Ferb on Netflix. I was in the kitchen getting dinner ready when I noticed the dishwasher was full and clean, and needed to be emptied. This is not my job. The kids unload the dishwasher. I don't really care which kid - usually they all work together, but sometimes they split their chores and two will do the dishwasher while the others will do something else. I don't much care about the how or who as long as they are all happy and the work is done.  Read more >

Priorities: My attempt at balancing mothering and writing

When I was in high school, I remember feeling sad that I wasn't elected to the homecoming court. As if the disappointment wasn't bad enough, what followed was a swift personal berating that I had even let myself care about something as frivolous as the homecoming court in the first place. It happened over and over again. A boy wouldn't like me and I would feel sad. And then, I would feel angry that I felt sad, angry that I even wasted a moment's emotion on something that in the eternal scope of things, I knew didn't matter. I guess, in many ways, it was a good way to grow up.  Read more >

Any story starring a gynecologist has to be funny, right?

After the twins were born, I bought a treadmill and started running. Hard to work out outside the home when you have three small children age three and under. So, the treadmill went in to my bedroom, and I diligently plowed through three miles every day. Eventually, three miles got easier and I started running four, then five, then six miles at a time. I felt really good, and I lost all my baby weight.  Read more >

About Me: 

First, I mother. It's the most important thing that I do, and thus, the most important. When I'm not mothering, I'm mostly writing. I write on the blog about joyful, deliberate mothering, and I write about my writing. My first novel is due out in 2013 and I'm currently working on my second, hoping to finish up by the end of the year. With six kids at home, it's hard! But in every way possible, it's worth it.
