Alright y'all. This is another one that makes me question my life choices and eternal commitment to shattering the stigma that surrounds mental illness. I think I would rather shy away and pretend like this isn't real. That I don't have this. That I do not experience this. That it is all in my head…

Now that the kids are back to school, I'm finding myself sliding back into old patterns which turns out are crucial to maintaining my mental health. Oh how easily I abandon all routine. I don't know what it is but when my kids lounge around, I lounge around. When my kids can sleep in, I…
In lieu of a Re-run Tuesday, I'm posting about something that strips away my layers and makes me feel raw and vulnerable. I’m working on embracing these feelings and so even though all the alarms are sounding off in my head to keep quiet, I’m not going to. I have a feeling that a few…
I think I have figured it out. I mentioned that lately, I've been feeling off. I guess that means I feel like I'm floating and am in fact, not feeling. When I do feel it is a one of overwhelm. I have been scratching my head- so to speak- racking my brain as to why…

Life is weird.

Like hearing about it for the zillionth time would prompt the following Simon Cowell reaction? Well that’s how…

Alright, this week I thought I'd bring on a guest blogger who is just as fabulous as can be and when I read this post I thought "Everyone needs to read this post." It was originally posted by Wonders of the Woodland which you should definitely be checking out. And also, my nonprofit, Love Will…

I'm pivoting a little this week (and don't we love the pivot terminology craze) and talk about mental health in place of Milo. *Gasp.* You know I may have mentioned a time or two that I take medications for my anxiety and depression. As such, sometimes I think that if we were to find ourselves…

Okay, some weeks I have everything written and scheduled and posted in a timely fashion and some weeks are like this week. I’m completely flustered and scattered and finally getting my 6 am Milo Monday post up 13 hours later and if I’m being honest I probably won’t get to a Tuesday post tomorrow so…
I have a confession that shouldn't be embarrassing but it is embarrassing. I mean I've spoken about suicidal ideation for Christ's sake but the fact that I, gulp, snore, is, to me, more intimate a reveal. But there it is. I have been living in a fog and impressing my children with my "hardcore" and…
