How About A Good Letters Wall?

in Uncategorized on 02/03/16

Last week when I was on the Chasing Creative podcast, I talked a bit about how I cultivate reading and writing habits with Hadley and Harper. You can read about my book buddies idea here. I normally do that in the summer as there isn’t much time for it during the school year. However, I like to have the girls… View Post

Knitting Lessons

in Uncategorized on 24/02/16

The first church Jesse and I visited when we moved to Washington DC was the DC CRC. It was so hot that day, as all days in August are, and I was pretty sure that the white pants I was wearing would soon be transparent due to how much I was sweating. Needless to say, I do not remember too… View Post

I’m A Guest on the Chasing Creative Podcast!

I can’t remember how I met Abbigail Kriebs or Ashley Brooks, but I think our friendship is over a year old now, and while I only know them via the internet, I admire their work and I’m always happy to talk writing and books with them. Ashley is my go-to gal for the business of writing – tweeting, promoting, all… View Post

Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been? Mallory Feyen

in Uncategorized on 17/02/16

I’ve known Mallory since she was 8 years old and I was dating her older brother who is now my husband, so I know a bit about where Mallory has been and it has been nothing but a pleasure to watch where she is going. Mallory is one of those people who I like to call a creative do-er. She… View Post

Snowed In Chocolate Pudding

in Uncategorized on 10/02/16

We donated our little red play kitchen during the week of the snowstorm. These days, when Hadley and Harper want to “play” kitchen, they page through cookbooks, then rummage through the cupboards and the refrigerator to see if we have what it takes to make a Texas sheet cake, chocolate-chip sour cream coffee cake, or black and white cookies. It’s… View Post

Hi! I’m Callie. I’m a writer and teacher living in Ann Arbor, Michigan. I write Creative Nonfiction, and in my oldest daughter Hadley’s words, I “use my imagination to add a bit of sparkle to the story.” I’m a contributor for Coffee+Crumbs, Off the Page, Makes You Mom, and Relief Journal. My writing has also been featured on Art House America, Tweetspeak Poetry, Good Letters, and Altarwork, and in 2014 I was one of the cast members of the Listen To Your Mother DC show.

I hold an MFA in Creative Writing from Seattle Pacific University, and I am working on my first book that will be published through TS Poetry Press.

When I was in fourth grade, I got my front tooth k When I was in fourth grade, I got my front tooth knock out during a baseball game. I was in the dugout, trying to make a butterfly in the dirt with my shoe. The batter, who’d hit not just a home run, but a grand slam, came running in and everyone cheered and so did I because I’d gotten really good at reading cues for when a good thing happens in sports. I even attempted a high five, and somehow I knocked my face into her batting helmet, thus spending the good part of that weekend summer day in the dentist’s office getting a root canal.

No teeth were lost in this latest incident, but I was lost in a bit of imagining on Sunday when I tripped and fell on Packard while running. I look like I’ve been in a bar fight and my shoulder looks similar to how Wesley’s looked after being attacked by an ROUS. 

But I’m going into work today, and when I told my boss I’m nervous about how I look she said, “It’s OK because you have a story,” and if that isn’t the best thing you could ever say to me, I’m not sure what is. 

So, here I am with a story. Thanks to all my friends and family who’ve been so kind and keeping me laughing.
