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.

She’s my oldest, and even though it’s been 6 years since I gave birth to her, time has flown so fast it seems like it was only yesterday that I brought her forth into this world. It just doesn’t seem that long ago that I was holding her to my body nursing her and calling her my “little bitty girl.”
