I am a Large Family Feminist

May 15, 2019 By Emily Smith 6 Comments

I recently read and LOVED a blog post by my friend Sarah Lehberger about redefining Feminism (read it here). Her post really got me to thinking about my own definition of feminism. You see I consider myself a feminist, but I am afraid to claim the title. I don’t call myself a feminist, and I rarely…

Parenting is a Team Sport

April 22, 2019 By Emily Smith 1 Comment

When the movie “Mom’s Night Out” appeared in theaters I began hearing wonderful reviews, so I looked up the trailer. I must admit I was appalled. This is portrayed as a good, fun, Christian film and I just could not believe the main story line. Idiot husbands can’t handle a few kids. Really? REALLY? This…

What is Intimacy?

April 19, 2019 By Emily Smith Leave a Comment

What is Intimacy Often people hear that word and think “sex” and nothing more. To me, however, intimate is a word that oozes vulnerability, openness, communication, and so many more things that many of us struggle with. It is something I struggle with. Something I desperately desire and yet still shy away from. Intimacy is something…

I am a Misfit

April 16, 2019 By Emily Smith Leave a Comment

How often have you felt alone, unappreciated, or just plain weird? I know I do, a LOT!! When you feel like a misfit you often tend to turn that into feelings of inadequacy. “I’m not good enough because I don’t do…..”, or self doubt “should I be doing this instead of that?” Sometimes being a…

Get Your Husband to Step Up With Kids and Housework

April 5, 2019 By Emily Smith 9 Comments

I’ve seen a disturbing trend in my social media lately. Post after post is complaining about our husbands not stepping up to do their fair share of caring for the children and home. We all want our husbands to do their part, yet we often treat them as parenting interns rather than parenting co-presidents. If…

As the holiday season begins many of my friends are talking about how they can make sure their kid has fun time off, but also keeps their mind active. It is so easy as a parent to just set them in front of a screen and let the time pass. I know, I’ve done it!…

September 14, 2018 By Emily Smith Leave a Comment

Remember that moment you became a parent for the first (second, third, or eighth) time, suddenly all you could think about was how amazing this tiny human would grow to be.
