Behind the Scenes of My Latest Piece

I am going to veer off the railroad tracks here a smidge; break with tradition if you will and post on a Sunday. One of my pieces was published by one of my favorite sites and I just saw that it went live! And I'm gonna share it with you. Why? I don't really have…

Milo Mon-Deactivation

Today's post is gonna be short and sweet because, well, I don't have much time to write. Nope let me rephrase that. I had time but I chose instead to binge watch old favorites on Netflix (ahem The Good Place) and veg out for an extended period of time. I regret nothing. I did, however,…

Don’t Post It

I’m doing a little re-run series because I want to post consistently but I don’t have enough posts yet to keep ’em coming so we are gonna share some words I’ve written for other sites and give them a permanent home on this site. This post actually compliments one I am currently working on tentatively…

Fitting Rooms

One thing I thoroughly enjoy about writing is the thought processing. It is a way for me to organize my brain and often times gets me to the core of what I am thinking or feeling. Ironically, that exact same fact gives me pause when I write. Also, fun fact: I have no idea how…

It was a great weekend. We hung out. Remember hanging out? Like families used to when I was a kid. It was relaxing and calm weekend…

Here’s The Thing

Let me tell you. I don't want this blog to turn into a social media bash fest but like it's the only thing going on in my head right now so I guess it is kind of going to work itself out that way. Do you know what's great about that? That it can. Because…

Milo Monday and Christmas Chill

You know what my favorite part of being off of social media during the holiday season is? Not worrying about all the things I should be doing with my kids. I know there are tons and tons and tons of Christmas events going on that range from free to college savings and historically, I have…

Dear Diary

Well I’ve been off of social media for 27 days now. Like off, off. Like not even logging in to check something real quick, off. Which is approximately 27 days after I claimed I was getting off social media. I guess I would say I had to taper off of the socials. I mean give…
