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. […]
Most Likely to Succeed
Remember Senior Superlatives? Those somewhat cheesy nominations given by your peers and then voted upon by the same? I was voted most likely to succeed. I wanted it. I believed it. I knew in my soul it was possible for me to go off and be anything I wanted to be. Successful. Me. A girl from […]
When It Snows In Georgia
When it snows in Georgia, time stops. It’s like the world has just decided to stand still and so has every single person who is native to this state. It’s such a rarity most of us revel in it, even when the snowfall doesn’t top two inches. We can’t help it. It’s just…what we do. […]
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 […]
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 […]
It’s Showtime!
Tonight on a historic stage on the Marietta Square, 13 new voices will add theirs to a collective over 1,000 strong as they turn their invisible tassels and graduate from Listen To Your Mother cast to alumna. I could not be more excited about the stories being shared tonight. I could not be more proud […]
More
I realize we’re nearly two months done with 2015, so the timeliness of my word of the year is, well, not timely at all. But it’s still 2015, so I’m giving myself a wide berth to do what I want. My word for the year is MORE. And it came to me while watching The Little […]
Looking Down
It finally feels like we might have escaped the cold spells that randomly decided to plague us this year. One side-effect of this warmer, more beautiful weather is that the kids want to go outside. All the time. Every day. I do not want to go outside. At least not most of the time. Because […]
Listen To Your Mother: Atlanta; The Edge of Glory
I keep trying to put into words the magic and warmth and love I’ve experienced this Listen To Your Mother: Atlanta weekend and I keep finding that it’s a really, really hard thing to do. This weekend was exciting, terrifying, exhilarating, heartbreaking, tear-inducing, laugh-inducing, crazy-amazing, happy-making goodness. In the months leading up to this, our fearless […]
Listen To Your Mother! No, Really!
I had a wicked rant brewing in my head earlier today and I just can’t post it now because YOU GUYS! LISTEN TO YOUR MOTHER! No really. That’s a thing you should definitely do is listen to your mother. And another thing you should definitely do is come and see Listen To Your Mother: Atlanta […]
