The longer I’m a parent the more clearly I see the correlation between how I am living and how my family is thriving. Or not thriving. The longer the moniker MAMA is attached to me the more clear the meaning behind the (tweaked) quote: if mama aint healthy aint nobody healthy becomes. Im a [...]

A couple of months ago I stumbled upon this post at Mommalogues. I rarely visit the site yet when I saw a tweet containing the link/teaser below it caught my attention. What three words would your kid(s) use to describe you? For two reasons. First, it reminded me how long it had been since I [...]

I presumed on birthdays or graduations parents might ponder what kind of life they hoped their child would lead. Day-to-day, however, I erroneously assumed this concept was not in the forefront of parents’ [...]

Monday was great. Rejuvenating. Hanging out with The Tornado/her friends and just *laughing* with moms I didn’t know well before yesterday. For this misfit who can work too much & verge on being a hermit it was a *very* welcome weekday change. Ill spare you the majority of the conversation details (oooh forshadowing! hints of [...]

Anyone else recall the (late 70′s) commercial where two women compare the tops of their hands & the chronologically OLDER is proud to possess “younger looking hands” all thanks to XYZ product? Was it Palmolive?! Anyway… I somehow internalized way.back.then. my age would always be revealed by the state of my ‘hand skin. I also [...]
