Check It

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…

Time Out

It's Mental Health Monday and here's where I am today. Brain, tired. Words, hard. Not falling asleep where I stand, challenging. Decision making skills, gone. Flexibility and adaptability, minimal.

You know what I've been thinking about? This meme or post or quote I once saw on Facebook that had written in huge bold letters something to the effect of: “DON’T YELL AT YOUR KIDS AND THEN EXPECT THEM TO HAVE A GOOD DAY.” And when I saw it my initial reaction was, “that's a…

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…

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.
