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 [...]

Before I was a mom I assumed parents only stopped to think about what they wanted for their children on special days. I presumed on birthdays or graduations parents might ponder what kind of life they hoped their child would lead.

The show on Sunday was fantastic. The rehearsal on Saturday? Not so much. I could ramble on and on about precisely why (the podium felt weird, reading from a binder felt wonky blather blather blather), but the only important point is I left the rehearsal wishing I could back out.

(The Tornado’s gratitude board mid-creation.) Since she’s been old enough to register her surroundings the Tornado has been curious about my vision & gratitude boards. Her questions began as simple ones (What this is?) and have recently grown more specific (Who is this? Why is he on here? Do I know him?!). Although we’ve always [...]

This weekend, as I worked on an (assigned) article about having it all, I returned to a conclusion I’d reached long ago. We cannot have it all. It’s impossible. Or, more aptly put, I re-concluded there’s no way *I* can have it all. (if youre thinking this wasnt a popular stance with my editor you’d [...]

Ive shared before how I struggled growing up with wanting to fit in. We all did in some fashion. I know Im not unique in this way. For me it was a little longing to go to CCD with my friends (why did I imagine that being super fun?) & want *not* to skip [...]
