why I blog. (and why you should too).
This is something I have thought about quite a few times; many of these thoughts originate from mental conversations in my own head when I have been convinced that I should kill the blog for good or blog much more often than I do or, upon opening the blog of another, being reminded that my blog sucks and theirs is chocked full of beautiful pictures & prose that I will never attain. More and more I am seeing what I will call the “professionalization” of blogs in general; and although, initially, I am apathetic to this development that I cannot…
potentially a bad question
Over the last week, since we dropped a bomb via our last blog post, we have had ample opportunity to provide the following response to a plethora of questions: “We don’t know”. How are we planning to afford it? What is our home plan (we have a 2-bedroom)? How long could it take? What measure of certainty do you have that it will happen? What is her diagnosis, condition, potential? And I’ll warn you now, be careful with this last question & be sure to come across more caring than bewildered- or you’ll see a different side of me whereby…
well hello. now leave.
After months upon months of begging Ginny to blog on “our” blog, she has left for greener pastures. She just wanted a simple blog to document the goings on of our little family. I thought that’s what we had. She said she couldn’t blog about cloth diapering on here because people come to our blog expecting to hear about something other than methods of dealing with feces. Well, she may have a point there. It was hard to see her go, but I think it’s best. Maybe she’ll actually write- I hope she does, because I hang on her every…
Best of 2010
I got to road trip it to last week’s bowl in New Orleans with great friends. Needless to say, my beloved Hogs managed a first- serving up sugar I’d rather not partake in, but the trip was quick and fun. Cafe’ Du Monde’s beignets helped ease the sting of defeat. Here’s our annual best of blog. It is important to remember that things listed need only to have been new to us or newly appreciated, rather than actually be new. So, I guess this is one Mooney-centric list, and with that said here we go…a year’s worth of highlights: Experiences::…
this is that
This post is a part of a series accompanying the IDEA CAMP conference focused on orphan care coming soon to Northwest Arkansas. Gin & I are excited to be a part of this conference, as well as the blog series. _____________________________________ I remember days in the dark season after we lost our son when I would come home to my sweet wife, walking in the door and following the trail of familiar sounds-tears, gasps and deep breaths. Upon my entry, she would hastily wipe her tears away as if she had been caught in the act of something sinister. She…
