This is how we survived the summer

September 1, 2016 by Aprille 1 Comment

At the beginning of the summer, I wrote a blog post about Summer Survival. In that post, I talked about the pull of the romanticized notion of letting kids be bored during the summer – the idyllic 1970s summer that people these days seem so fond of trying to recreate. I also talked about how … [Read more…]

What America Means to this Veteran’s Family

July 3, 2016 by Aprille 2 Comments

As I write this, I am in the backseat of our minivan on the way home from our family’s 4th of July Summer vacation. For now, everyone is behaving. My heart is full, but I am unsure quite where to begin. Every patriotic holiday evokes emotion for us, but Independence Day is the happiest. It is … [Read more…]

Going Local: VBAC-friendly birth resources for Triad, NC Moms

October 13, 2015 by Aprille 1 Comment

When I moved to NC in 2013, one of the first things I did (before we even moved) was start Googling to try to find resources to prepare for a VBAC in preparation for the birth of our next child. I was hopeful that, when the time came for us to have another, my birth experience … [Read more…]

On coming home {a final update on my one word for 2013}

December 28, 2013 by Aprille 2 Comments

I would be lying if I said that the transition has been easy. But God has definitely made this place our home.

The chaos of moving and settling in

May 13, 2013 by Aprille 5 Comments

The day that we moved into our new apartment was probably the most difficult and hectic day of the entire moving process. We had hoped that the movers would deliver our household goods on Saturday, as Russ was supposed to start his new job on the following Monday. Unfortunately, they had some issues with their … [Read more…]

The days in between

May 12, 2013 by Aprille Leave a Comment

We arrived in North Carolina six days before our household goods did. It was a long six days. It was nice because we weren’t having to spend money for a hotel – we got to stay with my in-laws. But my mother-in-law was out of town, and her husband was working, so it was a … [Read more…]

Saying goodbye and closing the door

May 7, 2013 by Aprille 2 Comments

Our movers were gone, along with our household goods. Our landlady had just pulled away after inspecting our home. Ezra was asleep on the living room floor. We made several trips in and out of the car putting all of our last-minute items in the car. We were ready to get on the road. We … [Read more…]

Moving Days: garbage dumpsters, packing, pizza, goodbyes, magic erasers, and more

May 6, 2013 by Aprille 8 Comments

Moving Day 1 dawned lovely, warm, and sunny. We woke up around 6am because the movers had said they would be there between 8 and 9 am. I was scurrying around trying to stuff all of our “do not pack” items into a closet so they wouldn’t get packed by the packers. When the Army … [Read more…]
