It has begun. We thought we would escape baseball season this year, but alas, we find ourselves in the midst of a late summer season instead of the usual spring one. Don’t get me wrong, my kids (well, OK, just one kid really) love playing sports and we like the exercise, socialization and camaraderie thatContinue reading “Kids’ Sports in the Age of Corona Virus”

Even as I plucked a title for this post out of my brain, I wondered if it was, in fact, true. Have I gotten over most of those insecurities that plague almost all women in their youth? Yes, I think so. Am I completely cured of not loving one part of me or another? MostContinue reading “Confessions of a Woman with Former Body Issues”

I know I try to keep it light and airy around here, but I also feel a responsibility to use my tiny little platform of a couple hundred followers for good, so I hope you stick with me. Recent events have once again sparked outrage around the country, and I find myself wondering why thisContinue reading “White People, We Need to Show Up”

They say it takes a village to raise a child, but ten years later I’m still wondering if they were just supposed to show up or if I was supposed to go online and order a village service. The only time anyone other than family is the least bit interested in my children’s well-being, isContinue reading “Bring Back the Village”

I can already see that I’ve titled this wrong. It should have been Return to “Something Almost Resembling Civilization.” But anyway, my friends, I did it. I rejoined the workforce, which requires me to get out there a few days a week. I’m sure most normal people have been out and about over the lastContinue reading “Return to Civilization”

Yes, they are expensive and require a lot of time and attention, but I would gladly go without (insert luxury item here) for my kids to grow up with a dog. While I realize that I sit onContinue reading “A Love Letter to the Family Pet”

I admit it, I am guilty of the worst infraction known to man of exercisers everywhere; I have posted my Apple Watch run stats on social media. Ew, I know. One of those. I don’t do it often and I couldn’t even tell you what possessed me to be so particularly cringe-worthy on those fewContinue reading “To Run or Not to Run”

There are few things that bring us more joy than cocktails with the girls, am I right ladies? Yeah, yeah, husband/wife, kids, career, so much joy. Blah, blah, blah. I’m talking about that tribe, those people who knew you before you were really you, when you were still figuring it all out (I’m still workingContinue reading “Sisterhood of the Traveling Zoom Meeting”

How many quarantine blog posts have we all read at this point? Too many to count, I’m sure, but it’s good venting, right? Today has gotten away from me. In an hour I have to start the tedious task of making dinner. Again. Every single evening, they want food. Not only do I have toContinue reading “I’ve Given Up”
