My thoughts on the Full Quiver or Quiverfull movement, Part 1Posted by melodieshouse on January 19, 2011
I’ve been wanting to say something as a mom and as a Christian for quite some time about the movement known as Full Quiver or Quiverfull. A midwife I know blogged about the notion of a full quiver and what it means to her over on MommyMidwife’s Blog last week. I have to say that [...]
That's not a mouth and you don't feed it!Posted by melodieshouse on February 23, 2010
I stepped away from my computer for a few minutes this earlier this afternoon and didn’t lock my bedroom door. While I was downstairs, Angela, one of my 3-yr-old twins, got busy.

I know probably all of you moms out there have had comments made to you by strangers in public about your children or your pregnancy.
