Moist Tulips
I’m at my local Starbucks last week, which happens to be located inside a Barnes and Noble – I know, heaven – and I’m drinking my favorite daytime beverage, wine coffee, with my book whisperer, Mandi, and we’re doing what all women do when we have a sliver of time to talk uninterrupted:
started conversations: 1,292, 785
finished conversations: 0
I would start a sentence, which remindedher of this *insert random thing*she wanted to tellme, and then I’d interrupt her to say, “I know, and blah blah...

Ohmigosh, she’s NAKED!
There are lovely things about having a friend from across the pond, regardless of which side of that pond you reside. It’s a keyhole view into another world, where cultural norms may differ. There’s also the added benefit of hearing their accent whenever you want. *swoon*
But sometimes these cultural normscan be utterly bewildering. Shocking, even. My guest today is someone most of you know andLoveAdoreCherishas much as I do: Lizziof Considerings. She has a tale of culture clash that will leav...

Take a ride on my crazy train
My post about mental illness was Freshly Pressed. Me. Freshly Pressed. That’s INSANEAMAZINGCRAZYBEAUTIFUL. I’m very proud of that post, not only because it spread awareness about mental illness from a unique perspective, but I met (and hopefully helped in some way) so many incredible people who either suffer with mental illness themselves, or have a family member or friend who does. It opened a dialogue I didn’t know I needed.

How well do you know us?
We are having so much fun over on the SisterWives Speak blog today! We’ve compiled a list of weird and random facts about each of us and now you get to play a matching game. I didn’t even know some of these, so I’m not going to claim it’ll be easy for you, but I guarantee it’ll make you laugh.
Make a guess…or five. I DOUBLE-DOG-DARE YOU!
