Sleepless nights. Worry like none you've ever felt. Cold dinners. Shared plates, beds and germs. You want to pull your hair out, they drive you crazy. And there is no love like this. Nothing compares, ever, to the fierceness with which I love them, all three, because they're ours, and because I wouldn't trade a second of seeing them become who they will someday be. Some of me, some of him, and 100% their own. Amazing is too weak a word. Read Full Story

She will be turning 11, this month. Our first baby, our first child. She met her father first, screamed then slept in his arms as he introduced her to her grandparents, aunts, uncles, as I recovered from the surgery that finally brought her to us. She was our only planned baby, our first endeavor into this game of being grown up, and she was a gift neither of us were prepared for or really expected. She is independent, outspoken, compassionate and a complete blend of he and I, this girl who... Read Full Story

What I try not to think of is the Alabama version of this song, sitting on the side of the road in a car, holding onto the only man I have ever loved, while his world crumbled around him for the first time, on a summer night that will never leave either of our minds. Now, you tell me again what the "reality" is. Tell me again what was/is "right". And I'll tell you all the reasons that started right there, in that moment, and all... Read Full Story

I have something for you, the... five... six?... people who come here. I am making you a playlist. To know me, you have to KNOW me. And I warn you- I am a contradiction on every front, which some of you know, and some of you need to know, if you want to "GET IT". Isn't that everyone's deal? "GETTING IT"? Whatever "IT" is? So, I'll let you in on the deep, dark secrets, piece by piece, song by song, thought by thought, as we go. It may be offensive- my tunes are not censored, and some are... Read Full Story

Let's pretend Autumn Taylor never picked up a pen..... .....Wait. You don't have to. She's been doing it for you. She's been doing it long enough. Sometimes the best motivation comes from being surprised. Being uplifted and kicked at the same time. Sometimes, the best moments come from the ones you have when you realize this could be it, Lights Out. And you know what? It hasn't been nearly enough. Not even close. Thank you, to the feet that kick and the arms that hold. No more waiting... Read Full Story
