I’m trying to think how to start this story. I work. A lot. And I have teenagers. Three of them. And it’s summer. So the teenagers are sleeping a lot and doing a whole lot of nothing (a variety of church camps and vacations and summer school meant jobs wouldn’t work). So I work a …
We’ve now lived in our new hometown for 4 months. It’s been a crazy and amazing season! After living in the same place, comfortably, for 15 years (and, I might add, truly believing in my heart of hearts that we would never leave), jobs required us to pack up and move on. Moving day TOTALLY …

I have a lot of stress in my life right now. Because I own one beautiful home in a safe suburb where I can worship as I please and have ample money for food and clothing and vacations and healthcare. And I’m moving to another beautiful suburb where I will own another great home in …
I am a huge fan of television pilots. Case in point: Parenthood. As we know, I adored the entire run of this amazingly well written, acted and yes, even styled, family drama. In fact, I loved it so much, I wrote about it when it went off the air and I was having Braverman withdrawal. …
