Juice is fruit, so it’s healthy, right? Not really. First, let me make clear that I’m talking about the juice you find in bottles or juice boxes in the beverages aisle at a grocery store, not the stuff people make at home with a juicer or the purchased equivalents that have to be kept cold. [...]

Lessons I Learned Living with my In-Laws
January 5th, 2012 · 46 Comments · My Story
Despite some nerves, fear, crying, doubts, and just knowing we’d made the wrong decision to live with my in-laws instead of getting a short-term apartment, I have a happy ending to share with you today.

August 30th, 2011 · 36 Comments · My Story
There’s not a speck of sarcasm there. I am very grateful for my current living situation. Pulling back the curtain of one’s life to millions of Internet users (or thousands of blog readers) certainly opens a person up to different kinds of feedback than life in a normal neighborhood.

We’re so pleased to announce the birth of our third child, Jonathan Michael! Born at 9:52 p.m. on Saturday, August 13th, John weighed in at 7 lbs. 15 oz. (an ounce shy of his older brother) and 21 inches in length. (Which means all KS eBooks are now 21% off for a week! Use the [...]
Are You Wondering Yet?

My email subscribers are probably wondering if I’m in the hospital right now. I already mentioned this week when I posted my Bradley Method birth plan that I am technically “overdue” based on the ultrasound…which is, ahem…um…wrong. (Look out for bolts of lighting coming at you just for reading me disagreeing with the medical establishment!) [...]
