Whhooooo it’s been a hot minute. A good friend lovingly harassed me for a story the other day. Well, joke’s on her. I don’t have one. What I do have is a weird list in my head of things I am no longer subscribing to at the age of 45. Have you heard the phrase,Continue reading “Welcome To Your 40s: You can Be a Little of a Bitch and Blame It on Hormones”

Listen, I get it. Politics is stupid. Both sides suck and are only out for money and power, not caring what actually happens to the rest of us. If I had my way, I’d burn the whole system to the ground and go back to the days when we lived in a little village whereContinue reading “For the Love of Everything, Go Vote”

My worst nightmare has finally come true. Our household has, seemingly overnight, reached a new level of parenthood: allowing small amounts of freedom and autonomy to our oldest. I fought it with everything I had, but realized I was making it about me and not doing what was best for him. Allow me to elaborateContinue reading “Letting Go”

Like many of you, I’m still struggling to process the events of yesterday. The posts are numerous and are completely consuming social media, and I totally understand if you want to skip this one. But, I drove to work so incredibly angry and despondent this morning, and angrily stabbing my keyboard is probably more productiveContinue reading “Make it Stop”

Has anyone else been watching this Kim/Kanye disaster unfold on social media? Not for my own entertainment purposes of course, but because I’m genuinely worried for her. None of it is amusing. Look, I’ll be the first to admit that I am not a Kardashian fan in general. I don’t see where this family makesContinue reading “Abuse is Not Entertainment”

On the eve of my return to the workforce after my ten-day quarantine, I thought that I would chronicle how this virus, which has turned our world upside down for the better part of two years, treated me. And how people treated me. This is my experience, and my experience only. I’m not political. MyContinue reading “My Experience with Covid”

I had a weird day. A day I had been dreading in my head for nearly twelve years, although it turned out to be no biggie and, frankly, anti-climactic. We as adults definitely do not give kids enough credit for what they can and cannot handle. Since having kids, I have sort of always beenContinue reading “Talking to Kids About Tragedy”

Hey guys, long time no talk. I got a promotion and I’ve been beyond busy, but thanks for hanging in there. By now, many of you have read my book. For those of you who know me, you must know that I didn’t do it for the money (that would have been nice though) orContinue reading “Access”

My kids are in that sweet spot of childhood and it only lasts a few months….it’s summer, that blissful time of being a kid with no responsibilities and nowhere to be (except camp, because we have to go to work). We’re not doing summer enrichment or classes or packets that were sent home. We’re readingContinue reading “I’m weird, so what?”

I saw a post from an acquaintance today that got my brain spinning a little bit. I mean, what else is new right? She was showing the world the newest addition to her family….a gun. Swooning over it for all the world like it was a new baby, or at the very least, a puppy.Continue reading “Find Your Power”
