Staying Balanced

"My point is, life is about balance. The good and the bad. The highs and the lows. The pina and the colada.” ~Ellen Degeneres

Hey Mama, It’s Okay to Blink

07/29/2018 Leave a Comment

Over the past few weeks, quite a few parenting articles have been making the rounds. What’s the topic that has everyone conversing? The notion that we only have a limited number of summers with our children and that we must make the most of them. On the other side of the fence, you’ve got those…

I Canceled Two Appointments to Make Time for Me and What I Got Was Something Else

07/24/2018 Leave a Comment

Today I canceled two appointments for later this week, and I feel bad about it. I’m someone who makes a commitment and sticks to it. That’s what responsible people do, right? I used to think so, but as I’ve aged and parented these last seven years, I’ve come to realize that being responsible means more than…

Leave the Gun, Take the Cannoli

07/22/2018 Leave a Comment

I get that people are pissed about the political climate we are living in. I get that education needs reform, and that gun safety (rightfully so) is of paramount concern to so many Americans, including myself. I get that people are pissed (as they should be) about children being separated from their parents at the…

Before There Was A You, You, & You, There Was Me

05/29/2018 Leave a Comment

Before there was you, you, and you, there was an “us,” and that us was Daddy and me. And, before there was an us, there was just a “me”. But, since you came along and your brother followed and your sister joined after him, I occasionally feel as though I have lost the “us” and “me” that…

How Can You Be Mindful When Your Head is Full of Sh*t?

05/22/2018 2 Comments

“Slow down,” my husband tells me. “Think about what you are doing before you do it.” “Focus.” Each one of those meant-to-be-constructive comments of his is met with my disdain.
