Life, Laughter, Love...and Shiny Objects
Okay, so you know how yesterday I wrote the post Moms…You Are Enough. And it was all about us Moms believing we ARE enough? I talked about how we need to stop comparing ourselves to other moms and determining our worth based on that comparison? Yeah, well…I’m still learning this concept myself. Perhaps this is […]
Moms…listen up. You are enough. Do you hear me? You…yes, YOU ARE ENOUGH. And I’m telling you this, as much as I’m telling myself. Too often, I find myself comparing, measuring, rating myself. Especially my role as a Mom. That seems to be one of the roles I doubt most about myself. And probably because […]
Author note: Six weeks ago, I wrote a post that resonated with many of you. Today’s post is part two. If you haven’t read ‘Part One‘, or if you forgot what it was about, I suggest you do that first and then come back to this. Why? Well, because it will make more sense. Duh. […]

There’s a reason I haven’t chaperoned much in the past. Clearly, I can’t…be…trusted. In Noah’s seven years of schooling, I’ve rarely chaperoned a trip or volunteered at […]
Hey You. Gorgeous Lady with the perfectly coiffed hair, in the beautifully cut taupe suit, tailored white shirt and gorgeous nude heels. I see you. Standing there outside your fancy car talking on your cell phone, motioning some orders to your blonde haired, uniform clad little girls, sitting in the back seat of your car. […]
What would you do if your child’s doctor told you that he has a condition that is completely treatable, but is fatal in 15-20% of all cases? That this condition will be with him his whole life. He won’t grow out of it. But with the proper treatment plan, he can live a relatively ‘normal’ […]
I don’t know how you do it. How do you manage it all? I have been asked this a lot over the last couple of years, since my son was diagnosed with anxiety and suffered severe bouts of depression. While managing through this, I was also working a full time job that required a hefty […]
