What is it I’m doing at 9:30 on a Thursday night you asked? Why, I’m vacuuming my couch of course. As we embark on this uncharted territory of parenthood in a situation that was probably the farthest from our minds. I have three kids, in three different schools, with three different learning schedules. A mix…

Where there is love, there’s always hope. Why today? This is a bunch of random thoughts on any given day in the last week or two. All true, in the moment. Like, what is it about today? It’s another Monday, what’s the reason for waking up today and all day long I feel like I’m…

My readers prefer raw and honest, so that’s what I write. I am who I am and I really can’t fake a feeling at all, so here it is. I’m not stuck here; I’m just acknowledging the fact that it still stings. I’m embracing the suck, if you will. Today was a down day, and…

We all have “stuff”. I had a friend long ago who I had grown up with through middle school and high school and one day, our friendship just stopped. There was no reason, she stopped returning my calls and then later texts at the time. I never knew why and one day I was at…

I feel so fucking good. There’s so much that can change in a short amount of time. A year in the grand scheme of things isn’t long, yet while you’re going through it, it feels like an eternity. I challenge you to look back on your own, where were you a year ago? Who were…

If I can be honest (when am I not?) for a moment. Typically, several good days might be followed by a sad day or two – but’s it’s getting better. I had a moment the other day about my place in this crazy world, how all of these events including the pandemic, played out for…

This is me. I’ve been compiling this one for a few days, it’s been a rough week. I lost my shit. You know…the mom build-up and then the explosion. And if this hasn’t happened to you as a mom, maybe my blog isn’t your thing. Day two of a terrible headache, and what sealed the…

Setting Expectations If someone doesn’t know what is expected of them, they will always fail in any relationship. I had the biggest urge to call my mom today. This will be another one of those raw and honest posts; buckle up. It’s been four years since I started this blog. If you’d like to look…

Soul searching the last few days, sometimes that blends right into night; the stillness when you’re lying there awake wondering until 2am. Wondering how you arrived where you are now, how all those tiny moments, tears, laughs, smiles, all wrapped into one big ugly cry. A few blogs ago, I mentioned my new mantra for…

Don’t shrink yourself and your own desires to make someone else happy. Be yourself, you’re more beautiful that way. I’m just trying to steer my own ship. Weird, confusing times. I really am ready for this whole lockdown to be over I’m reaching my threshold for sure. We had a great day yesterday followed by…
