  Three degrees of separation

  02.14.09 | Permalink | 29 Comments

  Tomorrow morning an AP photographer is coming to the house to document our Getting Ready For Church process. At first this sounded like a thrilling experience (the sort of publicity that happens to the very famous or the very troubled), until I realized it actually means that we’ll be performing at 7:30 am, and I [...]

  Why Comments Matter

  01.29.09 | Permalink | 38 Comments

  Because I already have one job that often lacks in external validation. Blogging is similar to stay-at-home motherhood in some unfortunate ways. Stay-at-home motherhood, is, at times, unsatisfying because it doesn’t always seem like a real job. It’s the same with blogging.

But some people really sold out. I mean, really. [...]

  Making Works-For-Me Wednesday Work For You (Or, Sex Sells Even WFMW)

  10.21.08 | Permalink | 22 Comments

  The Well-Rounded Woman and I talk blogging a lot. Often we talk about how to make the Works-For-We Wednesday carnival work for us. We’re totally jealous that Shannon created the carnival, because if even ten other people sit on her site like we often do on a fine Tuesday night, boy! is she racking up [...]

  And you thought the texting was bad

  Spot turned two yesterday, so we set her up with her very own blog: Spot.blogspot.com. (I guess I should check and make sure that isn’t a naughty site). (Checked. Dang. Someone’s already taken it!) Happy WW! Comment of the day from JanMary in N Ireland: My older 2 kids recently requested their own laptops, and [...]
