Things I Loved In March

in Uncategorized on 01/04/14

Watching this reaction to a seventy-five cent video game ride in the mall on a rainy Sunday afternoon. Watching my girl dancing. Being the first to make footprints at the “Little Park” in the March snow. This typewriter. How awesome would it be to bust this out at a Starbucks? Greeting these guys in the evening and telling them to… View Post

Around Here – Whidbey Island Edition

in Uncategorized on 25/03/14

*The view from my bedroom window. Every morning I wake up to the best sunrises I think I’ve ever seen in my life. *The block I’m living on this week.  These houses are so cute. *Another view of where I’m staying, this one taken on a morning run. *My walk down to class and meals each morning has me checking… View Post

Right Now

{enjoying} a ballet performance and a rainbow on the same afternoon. (Harper doesn’t usually dress like a Village Person but for some reason at this moment she wasn’t wearing pants so there you have it.) {flying} to Whidbey Island today for my second to last residency. Next trip is to graduate.  As I type this, I’m looking forward to a… View Post

Snow School

in Uncategorized on 17/03/14

We are all done with the snow, I know. I get it. I am, too.  I look at my flip flops everyday and wipe away tears.  But it seems like the good Lord is saying, “This is not Burger King and you can’t have it your way,” so let’s figure out what we’re going to do with our offspring today,… View Post

I Think I Can

in Uncategorized on 13/03/14

Two things about me: I’m not really a runner, and I’m not really a friendly person. I try to be both. Really, I do, but they are difficult and tiring. I accidentally started running about five years ago. I signed up for what I thought was a spin class and, after sitting in the cycle room by myself for ten… 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.
