Hormones & Fatigue: Fighting Fatigue by Understanding My Cycle

February 19, 2019 by Aprille Leave a Comment

In my last post, Hormones & Fatigue: Part 1 – My Health & Weight History (and Update), I explained what I have gone through in the last ten years regarding my health, weight loss and weight gain, and understanding my hormonal cycle. This is one of the things I shared in that post: In this post, … [Read more…]

Hormones & Fatigue: Part 1 – My Health & Weight History (and Update)

February 17, 2019 by Aprille 1 Comment

Structuring my life and health AROUND my hormonal cycle is the only way I succeed at anything. I think I will always struggle with fatigue, anxiety, depression, weight management, and digestive issues. This doesn’t mean there’s necessarily something “wrong” with me. It’s a combination of genetics and my overly-stressful life. Sometimes, playing the cards you’ve been dealt is better than trying to find new ones. Being the best me I can be within my health limitations has done more for me than trying to pathologize and fix my limitations ever did.

How do you pursue a relationship with God when you’re exhausted?

July 26, 2018 by Aprille 4 Comments

Over the last few posts in my series, Grace: How a Recovering Legalist Moves Forward in Faith, I feel that I’ve done the best I can do to present theologically-sound, Scripturally-based truth about pursuing a relationship with God. My posts have been purposed and thought-out over months of planning, mulling, and meditating. What I have presented … [Read more…]

Life hacks for introverts: how to structure your day, week, and year

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…]

Life Hacks for Introverts: Survival Skills for When You Just Need a Break

June 1, 2018 by Aprille 4 Comments

I have decided to write a blog series about introverts, introversion, and help for those in introvert/extrovert relationships. I’ve touched on the issue many times, but my post “Honest Confessions of an Introverted Wife” – published nearly three years ago – continues to receive a high amount of daily traffic and frequent comments. This fact … [Read more…]

What quitting chiropractic taught me about myself

October 26, 2016 by Aprille 20 Comments

I have a secret confession: I haven’t visited the chiropractor in over a year. Chiropractic has been a part of my life since I was about seven years old. But here’s what happened when I quit: It started last fall when I delivered my second baby via cesarean section after a 30-hour labor. Chiropractic was … [Read more…]

Dear Formula Feeding Moms: I get it now

May 11, 2016 by Aprille 16 Comments

I really hate that there are stigmas attached to both breastfeeding and formula feeding. I hate that this is a matter of contention between moms. Most of all, I hate the role I have played in it all. For three weeks, my firstborn would not nurse. Five years later, I still have no idea why. … [Read more…]

April 16, 2016 by Aprille 7 Comments

This week was one of those weeks – the kind of week where I really was too tired to be a good wife. Little Brother was going through his sixth week of not sleeping through the night. (He has cut six teeth in five weeks while simultaneously figuring out hands-and-knees crawling AND pulling up – “wonder week” would be … [Read more…]

Dear tired mom whose baby won’t sleep: you’ll get through this

March 2, 2016 by Aprille 7 Comments

Let me tell you a tale of two babies and one tired mom: The first baby, now five, was a horrible sleeper. He hated to be alone and needed to be rocked, nursed, cuddled, and patted to fall asleep. The moment he was shifted to another location he would awake. He woke every 1-3 hours … [Read more…]
