On Why We Do Santa

Image
There are many blog posts explaining why people choose not to do Santa, the Tooth Fairy, the Easter Bunny, etc.  If that is you, stop reading and Google one of those articles.  There's a lot of well written blog posts about it that will support your decision. I am 100% fine if you choose not to do those.  You be you.  I'll be me. I am surrounded by a lot of people who choose not to do Santa.  The only annoyance I have with this choice is some of their children have no qualms announcing their opinion.   Other than that, I am thankful we live in a place where we have the choice.   Because of this strong disdain for the fat guy, I've thoroughly thought through my decision, and so I thought I would share that with those who are in a similar situation to mine.   You know I love lists.  So here is my list.   1.  Concern: "It is lying to my children."   My opinion: This one makes me laugh.  Because who ...

The Book I May or May Not Write

I have the nicest friends in the world.  When I write a short, quippy thing my kid said on Facebook, my very nicest friends will say, "I can't wait for you to write a book."

I wrote for 31 days straight in October, and I discovered maybe I am not so good at writing more than 2 sentences at a time.  So I decided maybe writing a book wasn't in my future. But then I spent a lot of time thinking during November and realized that, even if no one reads what I write, I think it would be really fun to put into words w...

Another Child One Day

Going back through my posts, I realized I had a few blogs I wrote but never published. One is when I was wavering between adopting or birthing our fourth child. One thing is for sure: our family is not complete. I cannot explain that other than I just know. For awhile there, I was strongly contemplating adopting, but for now, I am leaning more towards birthing the last child. In fact, I am most certain, God willing, that is what our plans are. We are trying to decide when to try to have a baby. And by "try", I mean get pregnant. I have many weaknesses, but fertility is not one of them. In case you can't tell. Our kids are fairly close, so one part of me wants to get pregnant in about 9-10 months....and be done. Forever!! But another part of me wonders if I should take a longer break. See, I have this really weird feeling (that is probably not going to happen) that I will have twins. For one, Brett has always wanted five kids, and I only want four. Things jus...
