Commentary on the intersection of race, culture, and faith

The Royals were my team before it was cool. Ijs. It feels like this has become a bit of a… Continue reading The Royals Win the American League Pennant
Why we waited to have kids and why we DON’T regret it It was inevitable that the subject of children would come up while The Husband and I were engaged.

What little energy I have has been spent taking care of The Girl and watching the Royals win. I was gonna reblog a post from one of my friends, but I… Continue reading Here is a late night random ramble/rant/stream of consciousness
My HOA finally decided to quit griping and actually solve a problem At the beginning of September, my HOA sent a nasty-gram to our neighborhood complaining about the fact that people were putting their trash out before the scheduled pick up days.
