I don’t know if you can hear that noise off in the distance or not. It’s the sound of me dragging my soap box out of the closet and sliding it across the floor. I don’t usually like to pull it out (that bitch is heavy), but I have something on my mind and a …
This isn’t the path that I started down. That’s the thought that keeps running through my head today. This morning, while doing my normal morning Facebook perusing while my daughter stares slack jawed at Elmo on the TV, and I waited for my coffee to brew, I checked out my “memories”. If you don’t know …
I’m going to tell you a story. This is real life, pulled directly from the archives of my misspent youth (please note, I’m being a little free with the whole “misspent youth” thing as my youth was rather tame by comparison. I’m a white girl from the suburbs of Philadelphia. I did spend a good …
I think that I have been walking a thin line between thinking that my daughter is some super advanced genius child and maaaaaaybe there’s something wrong with her.

Becoming a mother has been one of the most rewarding (awful), magical (terrifying), and amazing things that has ever happened to me. I cannot even begin to fully explain the range of emotions that it fills me with every single day. It puts me even further in awe of my own mother. I know what …
Sooooo, I have a little confession to make. It’s embarrassing so we’ll keep it between us, okay? I recently discovered Luluroe clothing. If you don’t know what it is, stop reading this right now. Do not proceed any further because you do not want to know what I’m about to tell you. Don’t Google it …
I have a new sworn enemy. It’s been a while since I’ve made that declaration. Probably since I left the workforce. I had a pretty solid nemesis at my last job. And the job before that. And the job before that. Both my husband and my mother will tell you that it’s because I can …
For the first time since I had built it, I found myself outside relaxing on my new deck. It had taken two months of weekends and late nights after work to get it built, and I was finally about to get a chance to enjoy it. I was only about ten minutes into full on …
My husband is cranky, which means that I am cranky (I’m not cranky at him, it’s more like I’m cranky with him, or I guess more accurately I am cranky near him). Today was a perfectly fine day for me with the all the normal ups and downs. Nothing out of the usual here (except …
You never know how much capacity your heart has for love until it is fit to burst with it. I have experienced that sensation many times before (because my life is pretty freaking rad) and it’s a different feeling each and every time. This time my heart is swelling with love for my family. That’s …
