I bought eggs today. The morning of a mass shooting and the morning after a mass shooting in the very franchise that was targeted, some thousand plus miles away. This morning I woke up and didn't want to leave my house after seeing the reports loading in my social media feed. I thought, the world [...]
Let me just tell y'all, I am such a terrible sales person. This book has been out since May 31st and I'm just now getting around to telling you about it. I'm just a slacker lately. So, what have I been up to instead of informing you all of my book and sharing random blog [...]
There I was on the couch minding my own business, watching TV and letting my toddler play. Within a few minutes of him playing quietly in his ball pit, he comes walking up to me. My normal greeting to my child is "hey sweet boy," and this time was no different. What was different was [...]

My 36th birthday crept up on me very quickly. It truly feels like I just turned twenty-five last year, but I digress. This past year I have become more aware of my mortality, as well as the mortality of my parents, but especially my mother. Sure, I learned about this stage of development in adults entering [...]
I'm tired. I'm tired all the time. The only time I have energy is after my morning coffee has kicked in, and even then it's only for about four hours. I suffer from what many moms suffer from, the superwoman syndrome that has plagued society for the past 20-30 years. We come from a [...]
First of all, let me just tell you how difficult it was to find a photo of women’s underwear that didn’t look like porn lite. Oh, and I’m also not a fan of the word panties. Even typing it makes me feel all weird and squirmy, and I have no idea why. Ok, let’s get [...]
