so if you’ve read…well, basically more than one of my posts ever, you’ll know that i post about anything. everything, really. there is no rhyme or reason here. and my interests are random and eclectic. overall, i’m good with that, and…well, this is my blog so…if you’re not, that’s ok. i’ve been doing a lot […]
challenge.

i’ve learned something about myself in the last two days. i may work in my house, and i may have said in the past that getting 10,000 steps a day in my house on a regular basis is impossible. but throw a little friendly competition in my face, and all of a sudden…i can hit 14,000 […]
what a year.

this year, i almost lost my marriage. then i lived a miracle. i watched my child gain independence. and i watched her choose to lose it for a time. i lost 7 pounds. gained back 9. i heard my babies love each other. i watched them fight. we had plenty for a while. and then we had […]
long hair

several problems accompany growing your hair out when you get old. i’m sure you don’t really care, but…yeah, i don’t care that you don’t care anymore. (that’s an upside to getting old.) in January, i stopped cutting my hair. i wasn’t growing it out then. i just wasn’t cutting it. this was a tactic meant […]
thanksgiving day
Posted by malindar in All About Mindy, Family Life, Food on November 29, 2014
this day did not begin quite as i expected. you know those days when, out of nowhere, you get slammed with a cold you thought you had escaped? welcome to my Thanksgiving morning (because i seriously hope it wasn’t your Thanksgiving morning). it was that weird sore-throat-in-the-back-and-top-of-my-mouth-where-i-couldn’t-swallow-or-clear-my-throat. annoying. but, i needed to finish the cakes, […]

around here, holidays are big time. we have big traditions for our big family: traditional food, traditional ways to do things, traditional traditions. for some reason, the food seems to be my overall focus. go figure. i go into list-mode. lists of recipes i want to try. lists of supplies i need, broken down by store.

failed.
Posted by malindar in Family Life, God, Homeschooling, Kids, Life, Reflection on August 22, 2014
about a year ago, after realizing the depths to which a father can sink, my then-14-year-old daughter blamed God. for everything. everything bad that ever happened in her life, every question she could come up with that flew in the face of everything she had been taught for 14 years, every single, solitary questionable thing.

stuff i know now
Posted by malindar in Uncategorized on May 9, 2014
i follow this great blog that always makes me think…her name is Melissa…you should check her out. …she made me think today. twice. posting first about a Mama she saw in the mall, wisely parenting a determined toddler…and then about secrets she knows as a mother. probably secrets she wished she’d known when she started this […]
mothers
Posted by malindar in All About Mindy, Reflection on May 9, 2014
this Sunday is Mother’s Day. yep, two days from now. it will be my 16th as an actual, bonafide Mom. something about that number freaks me out a little. maybe because it’s so freaking close to 20. i don’t know. it struck me this morning that next year will be my twentieth college reunion. good […]

Posted by malindar in All About Mindy on May 3, 2014
yep. that’s right. i said “tatas” in my post title. i know. it maybe pushed your buttons a little. ok. i’m fine with that. you know why? yesterday pushed my buttons. like…whoa. let’s back up. last October, i turned 40. 40 brings on its own set of challenges, not the least of which includes new […]
