Good Reads
One of the most talented writers in the blogosphere (Carissa at Ode to Umbrella Moments) is back after a month-and-a-half hiatus. Her debut post does not disappoint. In fact, it was so good that I actually read it aloud to my husband last night before going to bed. Her words about the intersection between faith and early motherhood sparkle with brilliance, fluidity, and authenticity.

Hey Steph,
Thanks for mentioning me! I’m glad you enjoyed the post. Thanks for inspiring me to write it!
You know, I completely agree with you. I have often wondered if whether we lived in the same city we might be best of friends. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to sit down together at a Starbuck’s and just talk? I bet the girl’s would even enjoy playing together since they are so similar in age.
I just wanted to say again what an awesome job you are doing with this blog. It’s amazing to see how it’s grown in the last few months! Good for you! I don’t know where you find the time but somehow you do it…and you do it with flare. Way to go!
