Some of y’all love to be home. This is your time to shine. But for some of us? This is a time of severe spiraling. Personally, I like to keep busy. If I can get us out of the house six days a week, that’s just about perfect for me. I love my kids, but […]
These are dark, uncomfortable times, friends. This pandemic is something straight out of a horror movie, and I think the one thing we American’s can agree upon is that none of us common folk thought it would get this bad. Schools shut down, at first a for a few days to clean, now bordering on […]
With everything going around us, it can feel like the world is caving in. We are having to rearrange our schedules, our time, and basically life as we know it. While we cannot control what is going on, we can control how we react to it. So let’s discuss how we can put positive energy […]

Today, I was talking with a friend, and she was telling me about some recent changes in her life. I listened as she explained how she had chosen to cut back on some things and remove some things completely — to make more space in her life for the things she wanted to prioritize. She […]
A few years back, for some reason I can’t even remember (probably a sick kid or two), I was left to do Thanksgiving on my own. I wasn’t too concerned about it; plenty of my friends had done Thanksgiving and they had survived – some even enjoyed it. Plus, with all the Food Network I […]
The long awaited Kindergarten adventure has begun for my son. He was ready. He rocked Pre-K. He mastered Kindergarten Boot Camp this summer.
