I am 33 years old. I have spent approximately 15 of those years locked in a battle over meeting the world’s “ideal” standard of size and beauty. I’m done with that. When Jana and I started our first year of Listen To Your Mother: Atlanta, we knew we would both be reading on the stage. […]
Dear Fat Shamers…
A video went viral this weekend wherein a “comedian” mocked fat people, called them to the carpet, and said she was doing so because she cares. She wasn’t funny. She doesn’t care. And neither does that meathead who comments on every post about body acceptance saying we can’t “glorify obesity.” (Don’t be that dude.) Here’s […]
What Did I Miss?
Hello, people! I’m BAAAAAAA-AAAAAAAAAACK! I typed that intro and this face was the first that popped into my mind so it’s really, truly only fitting that you guys also relive with me one of the best alien invasion movies ever: Independence Day. (Will Smith punching an alien in the face in the middle of the desert […]
Back to You: Kick the Day Off Right
Ah, summer. The long, lazy days filled with…well, nothing. Or mostly nothing. For us this summer consisted of swimming, visiting family, making new friends, and lots and lots of Teen Beach 2. (Don’t even pretend like you don’t want to burst into song and break out into a well-choreographed dance number after watching that movie, okay?) […]
There’s No Place Like Home (unless that place has WiFi)
Home. We’re home! We’re finally home! We’ve been reunited with our Annie-girl and we’re all settling into this new forever, one box at a time.For the most part, I’ve felt more peaceful and less electric than I have in months, and it’s amazing how quickly my body has adjusted to losing the feeling that every […]
All My Children
This morning started off the same as any other. Get up, get dressed, head downstairs, start the day. Except this morning, while drinking my coffee and scrolling through Facebook, I learned that one of my former students died of a heroin overdose. It’s not the way anyone expects the day to begin, but it’s how […]
Backseat Tiger
Tuesday was a really great day. The kind of day you want to bottle up and save because it’s all sunshine and rainbows and glitter and even the rougher moments are sort of rosy. I woke up this morning with the memory of yesterday lingering in my heart. I felt light. Happy. But then I […]
How Miranda Got Her Groove Back (aka A Mom 2.0 Summit Recap)
I have no pithy way to introduce this post. I’m trying and the witty, attention grabbing opener just isn’t coming. I just have things to say about attending the Mom 2.0 Summit last week/end and this is kind of my place for saying the things I have to say. So there’s your hook. Bring on […]
A Change Will Do You Good
We’re currently in the final days of building our house. In 23 days, we’ll be homeowners again. We’ll start the process of unpacking, sorting, tossing out the old things we no longer need and want or which no longer fit our idea of what our home should look like. We’ll search for new(er) things to […]
Being Enough
I found this necklace today in the bottom of a bag, all tangled up with about five other necklaces, and immediately set about extracting it from the jumble of chains and pendants. It’s one of my favorites and I thought I’d packed it away in storage with the rest of our lives. I’m headed out […]
