I am an open book. Sometimes maybe too much so. I have always believed that people can’t talk about you if you’ve already told everything there is to tell. Putting my truth into the world is sort of like therapy for me. The good, the bad and the ugly. Every post that I write, there […]
That Time Security Burst Into Our Condo
I came from a time when kids basically raised themselves because our parents were usually at work. I had a single mother so I was a latch key kid from way back. A latch key kid was one who wore the key to their house on a key ring. Mine was attached to the front […]
When Your Teen Outgrows An Entire Wardrobe
Raising a daughter is not for the faint of heart. I only have one and she keeps me on my toes. At age thirteen, she is still relatively new to teenagerdom. I survived the teen years long ago but it is a whole nother carnival ride watching your children feel their way through it. It’s […]
Granny Slippers and OCD Almost Broke My Knee
I am not the most graceful person in the world. I own that. Through the years I’ve had my fair share of spills. I remember once falling down an entire flight of carpeted stairs without ever letting go of the handrail. That’s next level stuff. Another time, in the middle of the night, I took […]
Mom Win: Bribing Your Child to Try New Things
When I was young, no one would have guessed that I would one day be the mother of four kids. Not even me. Yet, here I am, knocking this whole motherhood thing right out of the park. Except on those days when I royally screw it up. That’s pretty much parenting in a nutshell though. […]
When Appliances Push You To Adult
Raise your hand if you actually enjoy adulting. I am sure not one of you raised your hand. Adulting blows. Especially when you don’t generally feel qualified to be an adult, in the first place. When there is an adult situation happening around me, I usually scan the room hoping to find the adult in […]
What Spring Break Means For Mom
I was born in Tennessee. When I was six years old my mother moved us down to small town Alabama. Having a young, single mother meant that we were usually slightly broker than flat broke. My mother worked two jobs just to make ends meet. For about a year we had to live with my […]
A Mother’s Insight Into National School Walkout Day
I felt drawn to write today. I have never been one to force a post. Which is probably why I am not a disciplined writer. Or getting paid. Instead of making time each day, I rather wait for a feeling. I can’t explain how those feelings work exactly. Thank goodness this blog does not pay […]
When A Man-ache Is Actually Legit
I think we can all agree that when it comes to pain tolerance, women are the superior sex. That is why WE have the babies. I can promise you if it had been up to my husband to carry and deliver our four children, today we would be a family of three, with an overindulged […]
How Middle School Fashion Derailed My Meticulous Morning Routine
I will be the first to tell you that I am a stanch rule follower. I also have OCD tendencies but instead of being crippling, they actually work for me. My OCD requires me to have everything in my life neat and tidy. Except we all know that life is not ever neat and tidy. […]
