As a child, I remember hearing stories about “unforgettable moments in life”. My mom told me about how events happen that are so memorable, they live with you forever. Time freezes. Her example was the assassination of JFK. My mom told me about when she and her friends learned of his death, time froze. Everyone who…

MOM HAIR – It’s Not The Prettiest
The Evolution of My Hair: Throughout my teens and 20’s, my hair was my favorite accessory. I styled it for hours on end. Crimped and spiral-curled to perfection. Then well sprayed with Aqua Net, for a night out. Can you tell I grew up in the `80’s? My big hair was a thing of…
“You’re The Meanest Mom In The World!”
Moms, I have a question for you… Have you ever been called “the meanest mom in the whole world”? If your answer is “no”, consider yourself lucky. But I have to tell you… it’s probably coming. If you’re like me (and most moms), and your answer is “yes”, well then, welcome to the club. According…
Women ROCK. And We Can Run A Country Too!
I’ve tried to stay out of the political “you-know-what-storm” (okay, the shit-storm), that has been going on. But tonight I’m jumping in…. With a question. And it’s a big question. Why CAN’T a woman RUN a country like ours? Women run corporations, families, large and small businesses. Women are MORE than capable of leading a…
Life as a Mom of a Boy
I love having a son. My son is sweet and loving and handsome, and the best part – he loves to snuggle! Sweetness times ten. I can’t get enough of him. He’s seriously the best boyfriend I have ever had. Boys are truly a blessing. But… they can also be a bit of a challenge for…
The Gorilla Shouldn’t Have Been Killed, But It’s Not The Zoo’s Fault
A 17-year-old Silver Back Gorilla Was Shot and Killed at the Cincinnati Zoo After a Child Climbed Into His Enclosure. I’m sure you’ve seen the headlines and the frightening video onlookers shot of the incident at the Cincinnati Zoo when officials were forced to shoot Harambe, a 17-year-old gorilla. It’s all over the news. Here’s…
Happy Mother’s Day
Happy Mother’s Day to my fellow hard-working ladies. We are the glue that holds it all together. There is no glory in being a mom. It’s an under-appreciated, messy, dirty, thankless job. And we do it for no pay. But it’s also the best job in the world. A smile, a kiss, a proud mommy…
Maternity Leave Is Not a Vacation
Everything about this ridiculous book makes me want to scream. She says, “After 10 years of working in a job where I was always on deadline, I couldn’t help but feel envious when parents on staff left the office at 6 p.m. to tend to their children, while it was assumed co-workers without kids…
What Do You Need?
I love this. I discovered this bulletin board hanging in my lovely, little town. It says, “Take What You Need”. And the tabs read, Love, Hope, Faith, Patience, Courage, Understanding, Peace, Passion, Strength, Beauty. All of our basic human needs. My wish is that the tab you take could actually help with what you…
Why I Don’t Answer The Phone
Friends and family sometime complain that I never answer my phone. There is a very simple reason why. The short answer: BECAUSE I HAVE CHILDREN. The long answer: BECAUSE I HAVE CHILDREN! Read this mom’s explanation. I love it because I feel the same. She summed it up perfectly. Don’t expect me to answer the phone…
