Reading the booming post-apocalyptic sci-fi genre that has taken pop culture by storm in recent years has become one of my favorite non-guilty pleasures. There could never be any guilt in the genius of The Hunger Games and Divergent, even when you stay up all night reading them and are so tired that you confuse your […]
Need a Little Help to #Depend On? You’re Not Alone!
***Click HERE to check out Depend’s newest, the kind products which are allowing me to keep it real for another day at The Mom of the Year!**** After a week like this week, it seems pretty perfect to acknowledge that in the low points of life, you’ve got company. Whether it’s the really hard stuff of […]
The Circus Show
I’d like to report that Monday, the three year anniversary of my mother’s death, ended up being a day of blessing, a day of reflective happiness spent with my children, niece and sister. Instead, I drove the minivan through the garage door. You know that AllState commercial when the garage door is shattered by the foolish […]
Still Here
It was three years ago today that my mom died. It’s been a pretty full time. Throw in all the missing, sweet remembering, anger, acceptance and a bunch of impossibly unfair questions like, “Why did you leave me?”, and there’s been a sizable emotional roller coaster looping around. Mostly, though, these years have been full of […]
It’s Friday!
My favorite day of the week! The hope, the promise, (albeit the very unlikely) dream that there will be a minute of relaxation or a snoozle of extra sleep hiding somewhere in the corners of your weekend…it could happen. Keep the fantasy alive, fellow warriors. A few months ago, I started having a teensy celebration on my social […]
Hang with the Band and Score Some Free iTunes!
This post is sponsored by the band Simple Tenants. On so many of these desperate days of motherhood, when the backpacks are mysteriously lost and the toast is utterly burnt, the tether to my faith is the worship music blaring through my iPod. While my mind is scattered and our days crazed, the grounding beat […]
The Crayola Experience Colors Their World
Every once in a while, I decide to be That Mom. You know, the mom who does something really cool with her kids. It all started with an episode of our beloved Daniel Tiger. When the crew took a trek to “the crayon factory”, my children began a vivid love affair with the notion of making […]
#10
I have an involved relationship with my planner. Where I go, it goes; where it goes, I go. It reigns regally in it’s spot of honor on our kitchen counter. Should it be nudged by an aggressing family member, the offense I take is immediate and egregious. The planner is not to be trifled with. […]
Need an Extra Shot of Energy? Win It with MyCharge!
Did you know that the average smartphone users checks their phone 110 times per day and that 2.7 hours of that is just for fun? Did you also know that without an available power source 77% of phone users will have a dead battery by 4pm? Whether at work or play all of these things […]
Safe Landing Spot
Sometimes (pretty often, to be honest), I look at my life and feel stymied by the weight of things. Of the busyness, the endless tasks, the remembering to send my son’s library book back on the proper day and review the new spelling words the optimal number of times each week. It can be heavy. It can […]
