spider kong and cody’s skirt.

This is the back of my house. Behind my house is a forest of sorts with a stream running through it. We’ve heard raccoons getting it on, owls hooting it up and lots of frogs. We’ve seen fireflies, blue herons, hawks, possums and so many bunnies we started telling Addie they were her pets. AnContinue reading “spider kong and cody’s skirt.”

i wonder…

Do you ever stare at your various accounts and thing…”Huh, I should really write something.” So you end up writing something that is really just crap hoping to stay “out there?” There’s a lot of useless crap on the Internet. I don’t need to give you more crap to read. (However Daniel and I haveContinue reading “i wonder…”

135/365.

So remember how I was all “Pfft. Project 365. A photo a day? FAIL! Instead I will end 2010 with 365 photos I love.” Well. I’m to 135. I feel like I’m getting better. How’s it going for you?

the one where casey stands on a social media soapbox.

I don’t really get into the whole business side of social media, I won’t be becoming a social media consultant anytime soon. I do all this because I like it. I don’t read articles on Mashable, I never really figured out why there was the whole switch from the “FAN” to “LIKE” button on facebook.Continue reading “the one where casey stands on a social media soapbox.”

if the shoe drops, i know a cobbler.

I know terrible things have happened to good people for as long as good people have been around to have terrible things happen to them. Before 2007 I didn’t know anyone with a special needs child, I certainly didn’t know anyone who had lost a child. I didn’t even know anyone who had experienced aContinue reading “if the shoe drops, i know a cobbler.”

the other one.

There’s something very strange about holding your friend’s new baby when she says “Stay here, I’ll go get the other one.” When she brought “the other one” my head nearly exploded. I don’t want to say I picked a favorite, but you guys, “the other one” and I must have known each other in aContinue reading “the other one.”

sparkles on the inside.

I can always tell when Addie is being contemplative in the back of the car. Her eyes narrow, she mumbles a bit to herself and stares out the window. She grows quiet, and then it starts… Mom? How does Jesus make babies? Well, there are spirits up in heaven and when a baby is putContinue reading “sparkles on the inside.”

when infertility affects friendships.

There isn’t much else out there like infertility. There’s no outward signs of it, it is both isolating and humiliating, many times there’s no logical explanation for it and most of all? Everyone has their own opinions on it. “Don’t give up hope!” “You worry about it too much, just relax, it will happen!” “IContinue reading “when infertility affects friendships.”

ten things…blogher style.

10. Alexis. Thursday night didn’t go so well for me. I was working the crowd at the Social Luxe Lounge when I was hit upside the head with panic for whatever reason. I ended the night crumpled up in a corner crying. I’m giving God complete credit for somehow allowing Alexis to find me, whereupon sheContinue reading “ten things…blogher style.”

a funny thing happened on the way to the fair.

I was supposed to be here, taking pictures with her. But I ended up here. For two and a half hours. You know it’s bad when people start getting out of their cars and have picnics in the median. But! Sometimes a guy busts out a guitar nine cars up and you just happen toContinue reading “a funny thing happened on the way to the fair.”
