This girl is beautiful. & bright. & quirky. & funny. She’s fiercely loyal. She doesn’t sunburn easily. She loves TOMS shoes & photography. I could tell you a lot about my sister. I could even tell you things that would make her crawl in a hole, because that’s what sisters do. We blackmail each other. [...]

Today, we dedicated our son to God. Promising that we will do our best to show him Jesus, to raise him in a home that shows reverence to God, & to always say prayers before bed. & remind him not to repeat the words we may utter under our breath at red lights. The Momma [...]

I’m sad to look back through photo albums & realize HOW FEW pictures there are of me & Sister together. It only makes sense, of course. She spit out words at me, I ignored her to my best ability, & there was no way in hell we’d smush into a camera screen together unless we [...]

I am lucky – I had an amazing childhood. Upper-middle-class as it gets, we were raised by two incredible parents, & I was the baby girl that rounded out the all-American family. We didn’t have a golden retriever, but we did have a yellow lab. We even named her Ginger, just like every other retriever-owning [...]

When I was a mere 14 years old, still biting my lip over being an entire foot taller than the majority of my peers, my English teacher requested that we write an essay about “love” as a nod to the impending February 14th. What is true love? Pretty abstract for a group of high school [...]

(copied as the guest blog entry from Maybe If You Just Relax) So. This is awkward. I don’t even know where to begin. Normally, in my own world of internets best known as The Heir to Blair, I begin with a tale, or a picture, or even a long drawn out “Y’ALL WILL NOT BELIEVE [...]
