Because everyone loves a good story
Calvin and Hobbes: Imagination, Exploration, Investigation
If childhood was personified, he’d sport blonde spiky hair and a red tee shirt.
To me, Calvin and Hobbes incapsulates three major pillars of being a kid: imagination, exploration, and investigation. Read on to see what my son has in common with Calvin (too much) and what Calvin learns from all his adventures (not enough).
Calvin and Hobbes: Childhood in Four Frames
What has made Calvin and Hobbes such an enduring classic for almost forty years? The fact that Bill Watterson’s comics capture the stuff of childhood–the good, the bad, and the hilarious. Read on to see what gives this unforgettable duo such universal appeal.
Snapshots of Thankfulness
As I looked back through the pictures I’d taken in 2021, I realized what a year it had been.–difficult, joyful, tiring, rewarding, and everything in between. But God’s hand was even more evident in hindsight, especially in the hard times.

A Contrast of Classics: Story and Takeaway
Behold, the final installment in my Jane Austen mini-series! Read it and weep because it’s over, whether from sorrow or relief.
I hope this post finds you well and that you enjoy a blessed Christmas and New Year! My present to you is the abbreviated length of this post. Ho ho ho.
Oh, Taste and See
I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving, friends! The gratefulness doesn’t have to end here. Psalm 34 reminds us that each new day is a fresh chance to praise God. Take a look at these verses and exalt the Lord with me!
Mom Guilt
Ah, parenthood–the hardest, most rewarding, hardest, most entertaining, hardest job I’ve ever done. Let’s face it, folks–raising little sinners is hard work for big sinners.
At times I find myself frustrated about how the day is going, and at those same times I wonder if I’ll regret my frustration when the kids are grown. Is there a solution to this conundrum? Read on for a scary (relatable) peek into my musings.
Lord of Late Summer: A Poem
While I may be a little sad that summer is coming to a close, there’s still so much to rejoice in. I was reminded of this on a bike ride through the woods a few weeks ago. Creation’s symphony reaches a crescendo in late summer, and I tried to capture a few stanzas myself.
(Ten points to Gryffindor if you take note of the musical motif throughout the poem!)
I hope you celebrate the close of this beautiful season with as much gusto as a grasshopper. And that’s saying quite a bit.
