📸: at Magnolia - I liked this wall for obvi reasons. Guys. This hashtag mom life is hard. Like really really really hard and for us- the hard has been hard-ing on overtime these last few months. I mean gut wrenchingly, heart breaking-ly, spirit shatteringly, difficult. Raising teens in a world filled with unlimited technology…

Singing the Blues
My Spotify playlist is a thing of car rides and because I have five kids that partake in (what feels like) 17 activities we are allllways riding in a car. Our drives are spent flipping between various playlists. We take turns playing “Carpool Karaoke” and crooning to our favorite tunes. On this particular day (in…
Ask Me
When I was a teen I spent hours connecting to dial up internet on our single family computer and scouring whatever search engine came with circa 1998 for inspirational quotes. I then printed out those quotes and pasted them in a spiral notebook that I would thumb through on the regular. Like a caveman. But,…

Following the 2016 election, two friend’s wives embarked on a #stophate t-shirt campaign that would eventually lead to the formation of Love Will Foundation. It would seem that year unleashed a global can of worms that has since triggered an unending slew of “da fuq is happening?” type unprecedented world events. Looking back, I think…

Thursday Thoughts: I Don’t Have Any Sensical Ones
I'm trying to access the part of my brain that does the thinking but it seems to have gone dormant. Or maybe I have too many thoughts and I can't organize them into coherent sentences. So maybe I'll just write them all down for your reading pleasure. For starters, I'm devastated (and I wish I…

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…
