This One Is For The Mamas Who Can Hang

10/06/2018 Leave a Comment

This one is for the mamas who can hang. You know who you are. You are the ones who should be breaking but refuse to crumble. You are the ones who have or continue to struggle to conceive. You are the ones whose own health took a hit during pregnancy and delivery. You are the…

I’m About as Fake as This Flower

09/09/2018 Leave a Comment

This flower looks fake, doesn’t it? But, it’s not. Kind of like me; occasionally giving you the impression that I’m not authentic, but in fact, I fully am. Okay, maybe not completely, because like this image of the flower, sometimes I use a filter and I am not going to apologize for that, and you…

Are You Getting Parenting Right By Getting It Wrong?

07/15/2018 Leave a Comment

Are you getting parenting “right” by getting it “wrong”? My answer is, YES! I guess we should begin this conversation by scratching the notion that there is one method of parenting, “the right way”, and that any other way is undoubtedly “the wrong way”. Still, there are some absolutes when it comes to parenting, such…

It’s Hard to Be the One Who is Always Needed, But It’s Beautiful Too

07/08/2018 Leave a Comment

As I write this, I am in bed, and it’s only 9:17 pm. That’s an early bedtime, even for me. I sit here on my husband’s side of the bed with a pillow on my lap, a laptop on top of that, and a million thoughts stewing around in my head. You see, the reason I…

A Day in the Life (But Whose?)

07/01/2018 Leave a Comment

You’re tired. The baby was on you all night long, and around 2am, your toddler gave you a swift right-hook while you were happily in dreamland. You don’t want to wake up to your alarm, and that’s why you set six alerts in succession. You finally awake with the last. You go to make coffee,…

Why Parents Must Have More Intentional Conversations With Their Children

06/12/2018 Leave a Comment

Far too often, I operate from a place of mom auto-pilot. It’s the mode in which sh*t is getting done, little people are being fed and fully-clothed and taken where they need to be on time, but also one in which I am not fully present. I hate even admitting that, but it’s the truth….

Dear Moms: Please Raise Your Child to Be Nice and I Will Do the Same

06/10/2018 2 Comments

Dear Moms: I know it seems asinine of me to request something of you when I don’t even know you. How dare I, a hard-working mother just like you, issue a humble appeal disguised as a thoughtless demand and expect for you to honor it “just because;” …just because there is a “mom-code” we all…
