Dear Mr. Trump, First of all, congrats on an astounding win last night. You’ve just been hired for a new job, and man it’s a BIG one. I can’t imagine what it was like to wake up in your shoes today. You probably haven’t slept at all, actually. No way I would’ve been able to, … More A Letter to our Future President
We say it every time we travel. We can totally make this dish at home! We can decorate our backyard like this! We need to remember to carve out time like this for each other at home! And then we go home. We fall back into the same routine, get hit with the same everyday … More These Dreams (and Realities)
I did it. I wrote the most soulful, harrowing, genuine, clarity-filled post I had ever written. And then I lost it. As we prepared for our upcoming anniversary trip down here to Tulum, Mexico (where I sit at this very moment, absorbed in a tropical beach-dream come true), I had been planning to write this … More A Loss of Words
I hesitated to write this post at first, but as I shuffled around speed-cleaning the house, the thoughts kept bubbling up, the words wanting to burst out of my head. So here I am, typing away instead of weeding through my children’s clothes to find the things they’ve outgrown (like I had planned). But as … More Pardon My French
Okay people. I’m bringing back the happy list. I started doing these a while ago and they just kind of tapered off, but I think it’s time to bring it back. One- because it will force me to write more. And two- because we should always find a reason to celebrate the things that make … More Happy List #3
I’m doing it again. I’m waiting for perfection. I haven’t blogged as near as much as I’ve wanted to, and besides lack of time (or reaching for the glass and wine and a blanket instead of the laptop) there’s really no good reason not to be writing more frequently. I’m beginning to think, however, that … More The Longest Drive
Starting a post at 11:30pm is never a good idea, but inspiration is not known for being timely. So here I go. I’ve been thinking all day about this friend I know. It’s not a new friend, but it’s someone I haven’t treated like a friend lately. Or ever, perhaps. I started thinking about her … More This Friend I Know
I can’t believe the summer is over. It was a great one. We soaked up the sun, swam our hearts out, and ate our weight in popsicles. We had a blast at the beach, made memories in the mountains and out on the lake. We hit the water parks, museums and movies. The summer was … More We’ve Trained for This
I was talking to a friend the other day about how I haven’t blogged in while. Her response was, “Well, maybe that’s a good thing?” Good meaning I haven’t had any issues with anxiety to write about lately. I was like, yeah, good point! Then she said, “I guess it’s there when you need it, right?” Well, here … More Leaning In
It’s been a tough week. First, this senseless, incomprehensible shooting in Orlando. Then a two-year-old is drowned by an alligator at Disney World, of all places. My heart can’t take all this madness. And the social media circus that has followed is just as frightening. But I am like a moth to a flame; I … More Mama Bears (and Papa Issues)
