Just a Thriller

June 28, 2009 by Caryn

Caryn: So, this is weird. And sad. Since our fantab-u-oso fun time hosting the Mommy Revolution webinar Monday night, I’ve been meaning to start a post on realizing you’re not alone. Because, I think, one of the premier themes that came out of that night was that it’s just so great to feel like we’re not […]

Fathers, Outages, Webinars…

June 21, 2009 by Caryn

Caryn: Happy Father’s Day from the Mommy Revolution, all ye Daddies out there! Didn’t want the day to go by without a little shout out. We SO appreciate the dads in our lives–and on this blog. (Talking to you, Steve!).
Of course, being the shameless self-promoters that we are, we also wanted to remind everyone who […]

Livin’ La Vida…Amiga

May 18, 2009 by Caryn

Caryn: So a couple nights ago I did one of my favorite late-night things—running to the grocery store for a gallon of milk and a loaf of bread. Lame, I realize, on the “favorite thing” scale, but since becoming a mom, this tiny escape totally recharges me and I love it. Mostly because I get […]

Mother’s Day Sermons….Ugh.

May 5, 2009 by Caryn

Caryn: After church this past Sunday, “Pastor Gregg” (which is his actual name, but I thought for some reason it would be funny to make it seem sketchy) asked me if I had any wisdom to impart as he prepared his Mother’s Day sermon for this coming Sunday. The text apparently is Genesis 29ish where Jacob marries Leah and Rachel (we’re working […]

Reverse Identity Crisis

April 28, 2009 by Caryn

Caryn: Wow. Feels like we’ve been a bit neglectful of our Revolution! Good to be back writing here. My excuse is that I’ve just gone through perhaps the crazy-busiest month of my life. Normally I enjoy my nice little homebody, introverted life, spending my days mommy-ing the kids while ducking back often to check email […]

Giving Up Exorcist Mom

April 16, 2009 by Caryn

Caryn: So I went 40 days without Diet Coke. Today I could drink it—since I only gave it up for Lent—but I won’t. I kicked that habit to the curb, baby. And I’m not going back to that evil, wicked temptress. I may need to take up smoking or find some other vice, but Diet […]
