June 4, 2018 by Aprille 1 Comment

As an introvert, there have been a few real “game-changers” in how I cope in a special-needs household when both my husband and son are extroverts. This is one post in a series of posts I am writing for introverts. You can view all of the posts on the landing page here. Probably my biggest … [Read more…]

#nofilter: how to be married to an external processor

May 9, 2018 by Aprille 10 Comments

In my head are two long blog posts that I’m working on as followup for my post Confessions of an introverted wife (married to an extroverted husband). The aforementioned “Confessions” post brings in a good bit of daily traffic (thanks, Pinterest), but unfortunately was not my best bit of writing. The post was word-vomit-ish, one-sided, … [Read more…]

December 26, 2016 by Aprille 90 Comments

  I remember exactly where I was sitting – in my parents’ van in the parking lot of their church – the moment when my future-husband (not-yet-boyfriend) told me these words, “Aprille, you and I could never be together. We are like oil and water. We would never mix.” And yet, here we are – … [Read more…]

Introversion: I’m in turtle mode and that’s okay

October 17, 2016 by Aprille 4 Comments

I saw my counselor today. We met for an hour. I was exhausted before we even got going. When I got out, all I wanted to do was take a nap. That, my friends, is severe introversion at its best and finest. I long-ago made peace with the fact that I’m an introvert. (Thank you, … [Read more…]

February 2015 Link Love

February 24, 2015 by Aprille Leave a Comment

Between the snow days, the child-not-sleeping, the pregnancy, and the busyness of doing all. the. things., I’ve been incredibly UNmotivated to do anything blog related. I would apologize but I’m not going to lie…I’m totally okay with it. In my absence though, here’s some other great reads that other blessedly motivated people have written. Enjoy! … [Read more…]
