Thursday Thoughts: Sleep Matters

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…

Our Stories Matter

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. So, without further ado... There’s a phrase I use to describe…

Milo Monday and a Yummy Recipe

It's already the Monday after Thanksgiving. I don't know about you but this holiday weekend flew by and we are officially in the "after the 1st of the year season!" This time of year is my absolute favorite. I mean for all the obvious reasons like people are nicer and all the lights glowing after…

Thursday Thoughts: Thanksgiving Edition

I only have one thought I'm thinking today and other than all the delicious food I plan to consume, it's this. Well, hold on, I actually have a little more suspense that I think I'd like to build up. Yea. I do. I could go into a whole spiel (read shh-peel because who knows how…

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…

Milo Monday: Life Update

Well, this Monday is off to what I would call a shitty start which is weird because initially, at 5 am, I would have sung a different tune. That is to say it was off to a great start. I woke up, had some pipin' hot coffee with a pre-made Otis Spunkmeyer blueberry muffin on…

I’m On A Podcast!

Milo Monday is being demoted for a week because I HAVE NEWS!!!! I had the absolute pleasure of talking with author, fellow mom of 5, and my online writer friend, Brittany Meng of The Motherhood Metamorphosis Podcast a few weeks ago! We discussed (what I believe to be) the impact of social media on motherhood. This conversation…

Un-Social Media

I have always been unsettled with technology. Okay, not always. Since about circa 2010 when I first was able to log in to Facebook from my QWERTY capable slide phone. Jesus, I'm old. Anyway. Since then, I have been unsettled with technology and more specifically with social media and to be even more specific: with…

Thursday Thoughts

And here's tradition #2 that I will be carrying over from Insta-stories to insta-wordpress! Thursday Thoughts! I always use this photo because it looks like I'm thinking when in reality I was probably napping with my eyes open. I came up with this idea because I think that we all get to feeling alone up…

Let It Be

I want to write something profound and brilliant. I want to knock your socks off with an inspirational mantra. I want to blow your mind with an insight so deep it makes you re-think everything you’ve ever thought. But all I can think to say is this. I’m exhausted. Tapped out. But also I feel…
