as of today i am… – one day away from Hudson’s due date, dilated to 3 with a very thin cervix and light contractions sporadically throughout the day (wow, tmi, right?)…I only realize that I am having them because suddenly I have to breathe very deliberately the doctor said that my body and the baby […]
My husband has finally decided to contribute to my blog, more than just his normal editing/proofing and idea-bouncing. I am happy to have him joining me with this first post! – jc Have you been longing for new music lately? I know that I do all the time. Under the Radar is a free internet […]
Kaya is almost 20 months old now, and in those 20 months I have made a lot of changes to become a full-time wife and mother who spends most of my time at home, taking care of my family. In that short time, I’ve heard a lot of things like: “What do you do all […]

yesterday was my love’s 29th birthday. his 3rd birthday since we’ve been married… his 2nd birthday with Kaya… [oh yes, i'm nerdy like that.] sometimes i think they could pass for twins. really stinkin’ cute twins! <3 honest-to-goodness truth: right after blowing these candles out he had to remove our smoke alarm. i love this […]

There is only one hope for our country…and every other. Remembering September 11, 2001 today and praying for our nation. <3 jc
Is that not the cutest, funniest little bib you have ever seen?! I love it – thanks so much, Ania! Kaya was donning her sweet new bib and also throwing down on our fresh homemade bread…I am dabbling a bit in learning the wonderful art of bread-making, and though I have so so far to […]
This is one project that I can hardly take any credit for. Between Nels and my mom, my efforts were only minimal. In fact, Nels was the one who found this dresser (someone was throwing it out – life on a seminary campus! things are always in flux), and when he brought it home to […]
As Summer into Autumn slips And yet we sooner say “The Summer” than “the Autumn,” lest We turn the sun away… {emily dickinson} Isn’t this a glorious time of year? Each cool, crisp morning seems like such a surprise. The days are still long and summer-like, but cooler, more comfortable, and the shifting of the […]
