Bonus Reading This is a BONUS look ahead to future chapters. This is a selection from Chapter 25.  Kate’s hearing test is scheduled for this week.

Dr. Arya leads us down […] The post BONUS: Lies of the Magpie appeared first on Maleah Warner.

Ep. 35 Three NEW Ways to Approach Your Problems How often do you hear you have to face your problems head-on? FACING PROBLEMS HEAD-ON Facing problems head-on sounds like the take-charge thing to do.  I’m a proactive problem-solver and that means I’m going to take the bull by the horns, wrestle it to the ground, […] The post Sidedoor Approaches to Solving Problems appeared first on Maleah Warner.

This is the REAL Chapter 11. Thanks for waiting.  Ch 11 The Hairpiece The road rolls under me, mile after mile passing beneath my tires without seeming to get me any closer to Tucson. I think of the miles I’ve covered in the past eleven months. Have they brought me closer to being enough? Now […] The post Ch 11 Lies of the Magpie appeared first on Maleah Warner.

Ep. 33 How to Readjust Screen Time for the School Year Is your child struggling to readjust from summer screen time to school screen time? The issue we’re having at my house looks like this: the kids want to be constantly on the computer after school. Like, the minute they run in the door.

Ep. 32 Left at the Table Three is the hardest number of children. We adored Tanner, but adding the third child threw us completely off balance. For several months after bringing Tanner home from the hospital, we struggled to find our groove. “I’ve got Danny,” Aaron would say taking Danny by the hand when we’d […] The post Ch. 10 Lies of the Magpie appeared first on Maleah Warner.

Ep. 31 BABY #3 In the meantime, I got an epidural that nearly paralyzed me for life. Aaron fled to the furthest corner of the room and hid his face in his hands, peeking occasionally through his fingers to see if I was dead yet. The anesthesiologist inserted, pulled out, and reinserted the epidural needle […] The post Ch. 9 Lies of the Magpie appeared first on Maleah Warner.

Ep. 30 Invisible Last night when I packed my suitcase, I opened my linen closet to find my bag of travel size items which I keep in a plastic storage bin on the bottom shelf.  A wave of shame made me tremble and I retrieved the bag, closed the lid and stuffed the container back […] The post Ch. 8 Lies of the Magpie appeared first on Maleah Warner.

Ep. 29  The White House When I think back about the year after Kate’s birth, my memories come with the wonder of Dr. Jeckyl and the taint of  Mr. Hyde. I was genuinely happy; I wasn’t faking happy.

Ep 28 Mothering Failure We brought Kate home and began adjusting to life as a family of four. Danny thought Kate was a toy that squeaked, moved, and cried if you poked it in the eyes. We set up a playpen in the family room—a protective perimeter to separate Danny from Kate. Aaron’s trip to […] The post Ch 6 Lies of the Magpie appeared first on Maleah Warner.

Ep 27 Bed Rest for an Overachiever In August I had my first prenatal appointment with my new Arizona obstetrician. The week leading up to the appointment I had started having contractions. I’d hoped the preterm labor I’d experienced with Danny was a fluke, a one-time thing. No such luck. It seemed my uterus was […] The post Chapter 5 Lies of the Magpie appeared first on Maleah Warner.

Ep. 26 Stay At Home Mother The word default has two meanings. One, it connotes a failure to meet an obligation or expectation. And this is what happened.

We had a hefty monthly […] The post Chapter 4 Lies of the Magpie appeared first on Maleah Warner.

Ep. 25 South Africa A few weeks ago I left my monochromatic Utah County life (which I rarely do, even though I love diversity) and traveled thousands of miles around the globe to visit South Africa and Lesotho.

But for […] The post SOUTH AFRICA: What I Learned from My Travels appeared first on Maleah Warner.

Ep. 24 The Story of My Journey Healing Through Postpartum Depression and Chronic Illness Laiah was the first to see the flyer advertising the Miss Aspen Canyon Community College Pageant. “You should enter.” She ripped the flyer from its tack and handed it to me. “The winner gets a cash scholarship and a new computer.” […] The post Chapter 3 Lies of the Magpie appeared first on Maleah Warner.
