Yay! What I know you’ve all been waiting for! Another chance for me to attention whore all the things we did (not do) this week! This was a pretty low-key week for us. It’s basically the surface of Hell here right now so we did a lot of staying inside. Which means a lot of […]
Week in Review: 2
My kids are cute. Which is pretty much all that keeps me from selling them to the circus some days. Here’s what we did this week: First up, we put on swimsuits and hit up the splash park. Joshua got to pick out his own […]
What I Read This Week: 1
Before I get to the meat and potatoes of this post, let’s take a minute to wish Dan a Happy Father’s Day. Because he’s a father and he deserves it. I mean, the dude changes the dirty diapers, took the lead on potty training Joshua, makes me coffee, lets me sleep in on the weekends. […]
Better
There’s something transforming about blogging. Something peace-bringing. Like flinging my words out on a keyboard actually flings them across the Universe where they are not only read but heard by The Powers That Be. Writing that post Wednesday night–coming clean about how I’ve been feeling–lifted a burden off my shoulders. Made my heart a little […]
Start Strong, Stay Strong
Two and a half years ago, I believed I was a failure. That I was worthless. That I was nothing. I would never be a good mother to my son. I would never be a good wife to my husband. I would never be a good friend to my friends. I would never love myself […]
Out, out damned spot!
In January, I decided to get serious about moving my blog from Blogger to WordPress.org. Except someone swooped in and purchased the URL for my blog without knowing about me. Which is totally understandable since I’m, like, an ant or something. Anyway, I went into a panicked frenzy and bought about three variations of domain […]
A Small Moment
Last week I got an email from Nichole at In These Small Moments (seriously? how good is that About Me page, people??) asking me to guest post in her Small Moment Mondays series. I was giddy. I did not know that Nichole reads this blog! So to find out that she reads AND wanted to […]
Well, that feels nice
So, yesterday the for-real Ricki Lake followed me on Twitter. And I followed back, obvs. While being a fan-girl and grinning at my computer screen for the duration of naptime. Today? I get notice that my post “When you can’t say no” is being spotlighted on BlogHer. I honestly think I’m about two steps away […]
Better is what happens when your husband reads your blog
What would I do without y’all? I sat here at this table with my broken laptop and I cried and emotionally vomited all over you all and you wiped it off, held my hair back, and then got me a wet-nap and a toothbrush. Because that’s what friends do. (Unless you’re my friend Amanda who […]
Finally! A dog that doesn’t shed OR POOP!
Thank you to Cube Dog for sponsoring this review. For more information about Cube Dog please visit the Facebook page or download it on iTunes. People, I love dogs. The fact that we’ve kept ours alive and relatively healthy for 4 years is awesome. (I mean, there was that chicken bone incident.) And everyone who […]
