Im not boring.

  The other day I stumbled upon an article which resonated with me. I usually avoid “list articles” as the voices Im drawn to dont typically lend themselves to 8 Ways to Drink More Water Than You Ever Dreamed Possible or 5 Tips for Creating the Life You Want in 7 Seconds. This article, however, [...]

If we had coffee…

  A little while ago I stumbled upon this blog post. It resonated with me because it’s precisely how blog reading feels/is to me.  I read blogs in the morning with my coffee *before* the zaniness of my day begins. I also liked the concept because my favorite blogs to *read* are written in that [...]

  Sometimes I forget who I am. It’s not (fingerquote) a mom-thing (unFQ)  as I loathe when women denigrate other women by implying their lives are easy by virtue of the fact they have no children. It’s a human thing. We’re all so busy being super, nailing deadlines and crossing stuffs off our to-do lists [...]

  I stumbled upon this image right before our move to Oakland. Pre-great decluttering of 2012 and post-knowing where we’d soon reside. When I shared the with social media friends I found *great* solace in their sentiment of Your new hometown would totally embrace that!! Ive printed.  Ive copied.  Ive made nice, messy, cut-marks at [...]

I got bored.

  I was never, ever bored as a child—or so I told my parents. You see, we were raised on the belief only boring people get bored. Anytime I’d grow close to lamenting boredom to one parent or the other Id quickly remembered this fact. I imagined what their cure to my boredom might be. [...]

Our 2013 gratitude jar commitment has gone better than I’d dared to hope. Quite frankly I’d envisioned the project as something Id have to nudge the Tornado to grow enthusiastic about. To my surprise, it’s SHE who usually grabs our pretty pink papers & announces it’s time to write down our thankful thoughts: She enjoys [...]

Before I start this post I need to state clearly and openly Im biased. I ADORE LINDSAY. I tell her frequently, and probably STILL NOT ENOUGH, how her blog is one of the first I read each morning because of its fitness by way of personal development twist.  She’s pretty religious (spiritual?). Im pretty spiritual (religious?). [...]

We *are* all SUPERWOMEN.

  I love the blog Mommy Run Fast. Laura is talented, smart and consistently posts thought provoking content. A few weeks ago I read her musings on the pressure we women put on ourselves/each other to be SUPERWOMEN. I wholly agreed with her assertion we simply CAN NOT BE all things to all people. We [...]

The power of MONOtasking.

We’ve established Im a misfit. If theres a normal order to something—chances are I’ll do it backwards.  My life just unravels unfolds that way. As a result, I was the Queen of Multitasking *before* we made our duo a trio. I was renown (not in a good way) for my ability to simultaneously talk on [...]

The older I become the more I realize life is cyclical. When I was younger I EXPECTED my body to perform on command—and usually it did. These days when my bod complies I stop, take note and appreciate. I *long* to pass this body confidence on to the Tornado and yet—while it’s a huge priority—I [...]
