Every night, unless he is out of town, Jason and I are a tight team in the bedtime, tucking in the kids, routine. At this stage, Ryan wants me most times and I won’t lie when I say, I’m eating up every single, “I want Mommy!” moment I can get because I know at some […]
It’s ironic, and not, that the prompt for Lisa Jo Baker’s “Five Minute Friday” is “write.” Just write, but be intentional about it… GO: Because today at lunch with a writer friend, who is writing a book with her husband, I asked, “How do you actually write a book on marriage? Do you guys, like, […]
“I will combat my stress and heated difficult parenting moments with trips to the toilet. I read a really darling short story about a woman who locked herself in her master bathroom happily for the weekend. It was her own special stay-cation, complete with Orangina and crackers.

I’m a thrifter. I love thinking outside the box and have been recycling, or upcycling, or repurposing old clothes or sheets or parts of clothes for a very long time. Once I made Emily and myself skirts from a pair of Jason’s khaki’s he had cut off…and I’ve even stooped to make myself workout shirts […]

I may get passionate about some things. Don’t get me wrong, it’s great that Beyonce has a voice and she uses it. We need to use the gifts we’ve been given…I just think she and the rest of her posse could have accomplished the goal of singing a few great songs with their clothes on, […]
