Just Another Day in Paradise (AKA the Gay Lifestyle) 11/11/15
If you asked me a year ago, I never would've given much thought to what the term, "gay lifestyle" implied. Or maybe I would have had a stereotypical reaction to the phrase.

How to get Kids to Eat Healthy (12-2-15)
I’m actually asking the question. No, Seriously. This isn’t a guide to successful tricks. I mean, I’m asking you, how DO you get kids to healthy? I’d love to know!

Parenting Blah Blah Blah-Entitlement
It’s another mothering blog, so I apologize, but it seems to occupy my mind and my life quite a bit. Read this and I promise a juicy blog post by next week. Confession: I have entitled kids. Now, not all the way entitled, sometimes I’ve stuck to my guns. I don’t picture my kids so … Continue reading Parenting Blah Blah Blah-Entitlement
My “Co-Workers”
If my kids were people who I worked with: I’m a stay at home mom. Many people think I don’t have much in common with those of us that go to work. But when my friends and family talk about work, I often think how similar it sounds to my day at home. Last week … Continue reading My “Co-Workers”
A few more “moments”
A few more "moments" 2/3/2017 1 Comment Now that enough time has passed to let go of these, I can get a laugh of some of the FML moments from when I was solo before Christmas. Hopefully you’ve read my last post, “16 oz jar”. Here are a few more moments: This one I subtitled, … Continue reading A few more “moments”
