Portia Corbin @phurns.bsky.social · 17/08/2026Just overheard my six year old singing “total eclipse of the heart” in the bathroom. I’m dead now. 020
Portia Corbin @phurns.bsky.social · 05/08/2026I’m trying to be cool. But I really dislike that the Daughters of the King swag is a purse mirror…. 😳 120
Portia Corbin @phurns.bsky.social · 11/07/2026Watching Mulan with the 6 year old and she said “oooh. I like her skin care routine.” 😳 141
Portia Corbin @phurns.bsky.social · 05/07/2026When my 9 year old sends me a YouTube video with the title “show this to your mom” I immediately ignore it. Follow me for more parenting tips. 120
Portia Corbin @phurns.bsky.social · 03/07/2026Also: I was at Creighton almost 20 years ago. I didn’t go insane in those last 20 years: but I admit I might be SLIGHTLY more Orthodox than I was back then. 020
Portia Corbin @phurns.bsky.social · 03/07/2026He did not. I never took a class with him. But he WAS the chair of the theology department when I won the “greatest service to theology award.” (I’m still keeping it tho.) 040
Portia Corbin @phurns.bsky.social · 29/03/2026You know you married well when your daughter wants your baseball game to be over so she can watch “Mean Girls” with her dad. You’re the best @theodramatist.com 070
Portia Corbin @phurns.bsky.social · 26/01/2026It’s not the first or the last time I say this: you’re my favorite. 170
Portia Corbin @phurns.bsky.social · 30/12/2025We’re introducing our kids to the top notch movie “kindergarten cop.” our kid said “wait: is that really his sister?” I said: “no. They’re police officers pretending.” Our kid said “why is she lying?” And my husband said “that’s what police officers do.” 😬😳😳😳😬 050
Portia Corbin @phurns.bsky.social · 28/12/2025I got an email from @theodramatist.com about our cat. But it was was really from our kids who took Chris’ iPad to play “veterinarian.” (They also trapped two out of three cats in a room for this game). It’s a weird and wild world. 3161
Portia Corbin @phurns.bsky.social · 21/12/2025I do love that the “Game” is capitalized. That’s appropriate. 120

Portia Corbin @phurns.bsky.social · 12/12/2025So… I was watching a reel of Amy Grant singing a Christmas song. And my kid says “is this a country song?” No. “Is this rap song?” No. “Is this a Romance song?” (And then I just laughed) 160
Portia Corbin @phurns.bsky.social · 01/12/2025Right? I feel like God sings this song every day. (And still loves us) 120
Portia Corbin @phurns.bsky.social · 01/12/2025Overheard my five year old making up her own song in the bathtub. The words were “oh yeah, yeah: people are dumb dumb dumb. People are dumb. People are so so dumb.” 280
Portia Corbin @phurns.bsky.social · 06/11/2025I love when Christians say stuff like this as if it’s not the actual point of Advent. (Posted by my CATHOLIC aunt btw) 020
Portia Corbin @phurns.bsky.social · 06/11/2025She also said that the upcoming Christmas pageant is “the most important thing she’s ever done.” 060
Portia Corbin @phurns.bsky.social · 06/11/2025Our 9 year old let me know that she’s talking to her gym teacher about “going back to church” she said “I told him he should go to dad’s church!” @theodramatist.com and I are raising evangelists and I don’t even care if that’s a brag. 3181
Portia Corbin @phurns.bsky.social · 28/10/2025The child I have with @theodramatist.com just said: “It’s weird to think that we’re mammals. Because, like: we could’ve been fish.” 0243
Portia Corbin @phurns.bsky.social · 21/10/2025I just fixed a non-working garbage disposal ALL by myself: while holding a flashlight from my mouth. Plz. Bow because I am a QUEEN. 140
Portia Corbin @phurns.bsky.social · 19/10/2025Yeah. But I had to real quick make a skeet about my dad. 010
Portia Corbin @phurns.bsky.social · 19/10/2025Staying at my parents house tonight. There are THREE bathrooms in this house: and I just found my dad brushing his teeth in the kitchen. 040
Portia Corbin @phurns.bsky.social · 03/10/2025My five year old asked me at bedtime “mom. Does God love the Devil?” (The answer here is ‘yes.’) But the point of this post is to say: keep asking questions like a five year old: and never ever stop. 050
Portia Corbin @phurns.bsky.social · 15/09/2025Our five year old has discovered “The Greatest Showman” I caught her today making up her own song that had these lyrics “It doesn’t matter what you look like, it doesn’t matter what you sound like: God loves you: and you should be you: because you are so cool.” 3755
Portia Corbin @phurns.bsky.social · 30/08/2025Just overheard my 9 year old say “WELL I’M NOT GOING TO BE A PRIEST.” Fair, girl, fair. 090
Portia Corbin @phurns.bsky.social · 13/08/2025@theodramatist.com folded laundry and put some of our 8 year olds clothes in my pile thinking they were my size. I’ve never loved him more. (But also: WUT.) 040
Portia Corbin @phurns.bsky.social · 11/08/2025My kids played “church camp” for literally 6 hours today and I am so happy. 150
Portia Corbin @phurns.bsky.social · 14/07/2025I made this quilt a few months ago: in response to the current political landscape. The title is “who’s my neighbor?” It’s relevant every day, but especially today. 14912
Portia Corbin @phurns.bsky.social · 10/07/2025You can do it! Optimism ebbs and flows: but the Gospel of Jesus Christ is always real and true. 010
Portia Corbin @phurns.bsky.social · 07/07/2025What if I pour gin and tonic on your head tomorrow? What will that mean? 110
Portia Corbin @phurns.bsky.social · 07/07/2025Mom? How did you break up with your boyfriends before you met dad? Um… I just told them this isn’t going to work. WHAT?! I thought you poured chocolate milk on their heads!!! 360
Portia Corbin @phurns.bsky.social · 15/06/2025Five year old: “MOM!! This is so crazy!! Mother’s Day was on a church day: AND FATHERS DAY IS ON A CHURCH DAY TOO! SOOOOOO CRAZY!” 0271
Portia Corbin @phurns.bsky.social · 09/06/2025You know you’re getting old when you’re like “man… I don’t know what I ate: but something at that church potluck is making me burp all night long.” 110
