Marriage

Robin — Fri, 18 May 2012 16:42:55 +0000

I got to share a bit of my marriage journey the other night over coffee with girlfriends and it got me thinking. Marriage is amazing, but marriage is hard. I think anyone who has been in any long term relationship (married or not) would agree with me. When we fall in love and decide to [...]

Friendship

If you read this blog chances are you already know that I have some of the most incredible friends (in fact you very well may be one of those friends). At the beginning of my junior year of college I became friends with 4 girls who quickly became vital to me. We spent so much [...]

Man In The Mirror

My kids tend to get on a kick where the fall in love with one song and want to listen to it over and over. Their current top choice is Man In the Mirror by Michael Jackson. Now, this makes me happy for so many reasons. I have always claimed that MJ is an incredibly [...]

Bringer of peace

“I don’t think I want to have any more kids”. Before we made out move from Portland to Santa Cruz we talked about having a third child. I had always said I wanted two kids and Jim had always said four, but for a number of reasons I decided one day that I did in [...]

Why am I here?

Robin — Sat, 07 Apr 2012 19:52:47 +0000

I don’t know how I ended up here. By “here” I mean on my blog. It’s been something like 7 months since I’ve signed on here and I didn’t plan to start blogging again. And yet…here I am. I guess I must have something to say – though I am not sure what it is [...]

Simplicity

For me, one of the exciting things about our move from Portland to Santa Cruz was the chance to simplify our lives. It’s funny though, because that was one of the reasons we left Southern California for Portland. But, I think that in this current move we really have gotten to embrace simplicity. In this [...]

September Update

Robin — Mon, 12 Sep 2011 05:12:04 +0000

I’ve been meaning to blog for awhile now, but the last month has left me feeling utterly exhausted at the end of each day. On top of being tired, I feel like there is so much on my mind that I don’t even know how to organize all I am thinking and feeling. So, for [...]

Honey

Robin — Fri, 12 Aug 2011 19:38:26 +0000

These last few months have not been a high point in my life. I have not been at my best. I have been impatient, short tempered, easily frustrated, overwhelmed, emotional, unrealistic. I have not been the best mother I can – hell, I haven’t even been a very decent mother at times. I have not [...]

This last weekend I got to spend 3 days with some of my favorite people in the world. With everything that our family has had going on and all the stress we have been feeling I could not wait for this weekend to get here. Amazingly, just days before my friends started flying in our [...]
