Here’s what I’ve noticed about parenthood. In many ways, it’s a do-over. We get to look back at what our childhood was like and decide what we’d keep the same and what we’d change. The whole idea is that we want our kids to have the opportunities we didn’t. We want to them to be […] Read more…

One of my best teachers is 8
Two of the biggest game changers in my life have been marriage and kids. I know I’m not alone in this. I always say that my husband and my kids are like mirrors. They reflect who I really am and I get to see the good, bad and ugly of me. It’s ain’t always pretty. […] Read more…

I might be going out on a limb here, but I’m gonna say that this is probably a sign that we should go the minimalist route. There are still boxes in our garage. I’m not sure we even need those things since we’ve been living without them since we moved in June. I guess moving […] Read more…
Writing my book started with my feet…
You ever just need one of those days? A day where you wander, on your own, with no schedule, no time table. The only thing to do is enjoy yourself. I have to admit, lately, these days have been to rare. I need to have dates with myself way more than I do. Each time […] Read more…
