I tried guys. I really tried. I tried to squeeze in a Mental Health Monday post but the gods would not allow it. Yesterday had more tasks and responsibilities than it did time and energy. So I took the pressure off and said "fuck it. I'll try again tomorrow." And now it's tomorrow and I…

This week’s re-run was fun for me to re-read. My kids don’t really have these easy to answer questions and demands anymore. I kind of miss debating with my littles about why we stop at red lights and why we don’t eat raw meat. Time has flown way too fast and my littles are not…
I am gonna use an analogy here and the analogy is between cigarettes and social media. I know it sounds like it's gonna be weird but I think that it's gonna make sense. Bear with me as I fumble through this one and start with, you guessed it, a quick backstory: I used to ask…

And in this Before Facebook world, believe it or not, we took pictures…on a camera…with a roll of film…that we couldn’t see.…

Sometimes its hard to blog about my opinion and my experiences without sounding like I'm on a "holier than thou" rampage. But I guess that's the internet in a nut shell so, what the hell. Mental health and social media. I feel like those two go together like oil and water which is to say…

You know how sometimes things run their course? Like you’ve taken them as far as they can go and continuing the charade would just be redundant and oh I don’t know, embarrassing and annoying to everyone involved? Like hearing about it for the zillionth time would prompt the following Simon Cowell reaction? Well that’s how…
