When I was pregnant with my daughter, I kept a pregnancy journal on my computer. Each night, I’d open a new document, date it and I’d start typing away about that day’s pregnancy highs and lows. I’d document visits to the doctor, how big she was (ie. You are now the size of an avocado!), […]
I Asked for Help
I Asked For Help This is a follow-up piece to the post “When Life Isn’t Funny.” I walked into my psychiatrist’s office practically vibrating. I was so anxious; anxious to tell him what was going on, anxious that he wouldn’t understand, anxious that he’d think my plan was a bad one- JUST ANXIOUS. I’ve seen […]
What Happened to Quality Children’s Items?
When I was younger, there was a certain quality to children’s toys. Things were sturdy, made to last, and everything wasn’t “Made in China.” It wasn’t long before everything shifted and the beautiful handcrafted doll houses that were once made locally in a toy shop were all outsourced to other countries, and made of plastic.

Teaching My Child to Be Strong With Her Voice
“Your voice is one of the most powerful things you have” I told my young one. She’s been working side-by-side with a girl who is a bit above her reading level, and the girl knows it. She points out all of my daughter’s mistakes– loudly and aggressively. If there is anything to know about my […]
Fundraising Kind of Sucks
Let’s face it, fundraising kind of blows. You’re always chasing down friends and family begging them to buy whatever it is your child is slanging that month to raise money for their field trip, or to expand their new music program at school. Unfortunately, it’s a necessary evil. If you don’t contribute to the fundraising […]
10 Times I Was Wrong
Ten Times I Was Wrong About Life: 1. That the Real Housewives would be good for my psyche. Okay, maybe I didn’t really think that– but there is nothing better than sitting down and enjoying a good ol’ episode of Real Housewives. I became so obsessed that I had all of their first and last […]
When Life Isn’t Funny
When Life Isn’t Funny I’ve been through enough shit in my life that I’m fairly decent at finding the humor in just about anything. If there is no humor to be found, I can hang. I’m good at hanging; hanging on. I’m pretty decent at handling life’s ups and downs. When your life has sat on […]
The Other 99%
There are some nasty people on the internet. Being a writer/blogger, I tend to share quite a bit of my life on the internet. There are many people who don’t understand why writers’ go out of their way to pay for blogs, run Facebook pages, share their life events, etc. I tend to look at […]

No, This Costume Is Not Funny
I’ll openly admit that Kim Kardashian is not someone that comes to mind when I think of people that I relate to. Our lives couldn’t be more different, however, she is a human being that deserves my respect as a fellow human on this planet. I saw this pop up as a costume that some […]
