That Time I Had a Deep Vein Thrombosis: A Blood Clot Story

March 29, 2017

BLOOD CLOT CAFFEINE AND CABERNET

Remember how my husband and my friends threw me a surprise party for turning 35? I also got a blood clot for my birthday. I am now the proud owner of not one deep vein thrombosis, but two. Yep. Two blood clots in my leg. Congrats! IT’S TWINS! I remember saying to someone, maybe myself, on […]

Today You Are Eight

March 22, 2017

Dear Joshua, Today you are eight. I’ve had eight whole years of being your mom, and I gotta tell you, those eight years have been pretty fantastic. I mean, sure, we’ve had some seriously not fantastic moments (like that time you locked me out of the house and I broke down the door to get to […]

I Get By With A Little Help From My Friends

March 17, 2017

Bouqs co flowers

It’s been a rough few weeks/months in Mirandaland, y’all. In January I mostly amicably split from a freelance gig I’ve had since 2012. Emma got the flu, then I got the flu and then I got bronchitis. At the end of February, my job dissolved in front of my eyes during what would prove to be my […]

Love Is a Bowl of Cheese Grits

March 9, 2017

When Joshua was a baby, I was never more comfortable and confident than when my mom was with me. She had done this, so I could do this too. Even though I had no real idea what this was. This Motherhood thing was confusing. Challenging in ways I didn’t expect. I knew it was feeding, burping, […]

Commitment: My 2017 Word of the Year

January 9, 2017

commitment word of the year

Instead of making New Year’s Resolutions, I’m a fan of the word of the year. Just one word that acts as a guide for decisions and plans as the year goes by. Words like Balance, More, and Succeed have been my motivations for the past few years. Continuing with the theme from last year, Succeed, […]

Epiphanies While Driving

December 8, 2016

I went to lunch with a friend yesterday, the kind of friend who becomes family in the most casual of ways. We chatted and laughed, maybe cried a little, laughed some more. It was nice. Soul-filling. At some point in the conversation, talk turned to our upcoming Christmas party and “Minute To Win It” games. […]

Couchgating Done Right! {A Wayfair Sponsored Post}

November 18, 2016

We’re a football family. And a baseball family. And a Formula One family. And sometimes a basketball family. We know how to get Couchgating done right around here is what I’m saying. Some of the earliest parts of my relationship with Dan were built on tailgating, hanging out for hours and hours and hours before […]

Election Night Bingo! {Free Printable!}

November 8, 2016

Alright, y’all. I’m about to get dressed and go cast my Nasty Woman vote for the next President of the United States of America. Given the goodwill shown yesterday after my manifesto about why I’m with her, I thought maybe a little bipartisan fun would be cool. Thusly I present: ELECTION NIGHT BINGO! Together with […]

I’m With Her

November 7, 2016

I'm With Her

This post is not an easy one to write, but it’s a necessary one. I’ve been living in a place of fear–physically, mentally, and emotionally–for too long now, and I’m done with that. That’s no way to live. Not speaking up is not who I am. It’s not who I was raised to be. I’m […]
