Pardon Us, Happiness Lives Here

01/21/2018 Leave a Comment

“Pardon us, happiness lives here.” I cannot tell you just how much I now I realize that this should have been the response to any and all (& there have been a lot) of the judgmental on-lookers or statement-makers that I have encountered along the way. When you are a parent, whether of a newborn…

The FOUR Fundamentals of Parenting

01/07/2018 2 Comments

It’s tiring, I know, but we’re going to talk parenting, okay? And we are not going to look at parenthood through rose-colored glasses, nor will we look at it as this huge fudging mountain that we have to climb. We will not make light of parenting, but we also won’t anticipate it to be as fun…

12/04/2017 3 Comments

My best advice for parents…here it is: Get used to enjoying the idea of things; not actual things. Except your children, I am actually a proponent of you enjoying them, when possible. Here’s a short, non-exhaustive list of some things that you probably should get used to appreciating the idea of — because now that you…

I Suck At Transitions Worse Than My Toddler

11/12/2017 6 Comments

I hate transitions. Yep — the Mom that steers clear of the word “hate” because it is an “ugly word” absolutely dislikes (to the fullest) having to transition between things. You know how your toddler gets when it’s time to stop them from partaking in an activity they are fully engaged in, only to move…

I’m Just A Mom Surrounded By Amateur Idiots

10/15/2017 Leave a Comment

What an idiot! (And, no, I’m not being mean — that’s what he calls himself.) There’s something about idiots that I gravitate toward (sorry, honey). And I’m not just talking about your regular ‘ol run of the mill idiot. It’s a special kind of idiot that I’m drawn to, and they are collectively known as…

No Cuts. No Color. Just Blowouts.

10/12/2017 4 Comments

A new baby fills a place in your heart (and a gazillion diapers). “No Cuts. No Color. Just Blowouts.” These were the words on the window of a local blow-bar (get your head out of your you-know-where folks). Blow-bars are the new thing apparently for lady’s who enjoy getting their hair professionally styled without the…

Why You Absolutely Should Not Give Your Family 5-Star Service

08/30/2017 6 Comments

I can understand why we would and should expect 5-star service from a hotel, but our children and spouse expecting 5-star service from us? Well, that’s just ridiculous! Yes, you read the title correctly. I am telling you that I don’t believe it wise to give your husband and your children five-star service, nor do…
