What a Cuckoo Dream
Guys. I can’t for the life of me figure out how to copy text in the Facebook app on my phone, so you’re going to have to make do with a screenshot of a funny dream I had last night. Enjoy!

Father’s Day: Just Phil and His Dad
Phil’s been a muhmuh’s boy for as long as I can remember. And he’s always been into Josh, but lately something’s been different. There’s been a shift – he’s not any less into me, I don’t think… But nowadays, Phil is WAY into his dad. I don’t know if this is a byproduct of his…

Separation Made Me a More Patient Wife
Last weekend, we celebrated Josh’s first full year as a Georgia resident. My year anniversary was back in early September of last year. We were separated by 2500 miles for seven months – not because of fighting, not because of a strained relationship. It was more a working together over a long chunk of time…

The Risk of Loss
This week’s been a rough one in our church family, as we’ve lost two of our members. The first, Tricia, was a gal that I didn’t know personally; my heart still hurts deeply for the family, the kids, and friends she left behind. Yesterday, I got a solid punch in the emotional gut when I…

C Section Recovery – Not Quite By the Book
This week, I sent out an email to my client list regretfully letting them know I’d be extending maternity leave by 2 weeks. It’s a fine line on the internet – I don’t like to be a Debbie Downer, but the truth is, my C section recovery with Joy hasn’t been a total walk in…

Adventures in Baby Sleep Training – A Chronicled Adventure in ZZZs
Our newborn daughter, as cute as she is, has a major issue with sleeping at night… Which means we have a major issue with sleeping at night. So we’ve started down the path of baby sleep training in hopes we can all start getting a semi decent night of sleep sometime soon! (Preferably by the…

Baby Name Meanings: How We Chose Ours
Baby name meanings are so interesting – I love hearing how people came up with what to name their kids! I thought with the arrival of little girl Joy a couple of weeks ago, I’d share our own baby name meanings with you. I don’t think I wrote about that when Phil was born! One…

Welcome Baby Girl Calvert!
Today we welcome baby girl Joy Newton Calvert to our family! Joy was born this morning at 7:50am, and clocked in at 7 lbs 2 oz and 21 inches long – just one ounce heavier than her brother Phil’s birth weight! It’s felt like such a long, emotional journey for Joy to join our family,…

Will You Still Love me Tomorrow?
We held off on telling Phil about his new baby sister (that gets here FRIDAY!) just as long as we held off on telling the rest of the world. Issues getting early stage pregnancies to progress in the past, not wanting to have to explain “well it’s not happening after all…” We just kept it…

Funny Videos – Gong Show at Living Faith Church
So yesterday was Valentine’s Day, and it’s quickly becoming a tradition that my mom in law Carole is my dinner date. The holiday was kind of sad last year, because Josh was still in California, but as y’all know he lives here in Georgia now, he was just working the evening shift. So it was…

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Why the Hell Do I Even Care?
I recently chatted with a colleague who casually mentioned he didn’t know he could use swear words around me. He paused, looking for the right words, and said knowing that I’m “a bit of a godfearing woman”, he didn’t know if that was okay. It made me feel like a huge dork. Which felt weird.…
