So from my recent post, I received feedback and questions about dealing with isolation in those roles. And I definitely wanted to respond because that is absolutely one of the effects labels can place on us. We begin to associate those roles/labels as our sole identity and the rest of us begins to fade. We […]
I Want To Be An Anchor
Have you heard the phrase “two ships passing in the night”? It’s usually used to describe a marriage. A marriage that is fraught with the grind of daily living.

At this point, my husband and I find […]
“Here babe, let me”
“Here babe, let me…” A phrase I often hear from Adam when I’m struggling. It could be from picking up a huge armful of laundry to taking Lilly (our fur baby) out to potty when he knows I’m tired, to building me something I “desperately” need for the house. He is there for me, and […]
