Measure twice, cut once.
How does one measure a life?The job you have? The car(s) you drive? The school you went to? The followers you have on Instagram? How much you have in your bank account? Your refrigerator? Your closet?Is it the house you live in? I don't really know the answer to this question. ...

Summer Rules! A double entendre.
Summer is one of those times everyone looks forward to from about mid-May, to the last day of school. Kids, parents, teachers, everyone is just holding on in those last few weeks. Waiting until the freedom of summer break lets everyone off the hook for two whole months!And two days later, amidst ...

self-preservation
When I am feeling down, I am usually quite good at recognizing that I need to slow down, get off the internet, organize myself a bit more, and engage in some self-care. I routinely refuse to get the gel-nail pedicure at my wonderful little nail salon because I actually don't want it to last longe...

Repeat after me: NO MORE "mompreneur"!
I know, I know, there is a theme going on with my last couple of posts. I won't apologize for this, because using these unnecessary and condescending portmanteaus is something I feel very strongly about. Stop it with "Mompreneur" ...

**comma not hypen**
Mommy-blogger.This is what I am often called. I am a mom. I have a blog. Ergo, if the shoe fits and all, right?But what if the shoe fits, but it's a shoe that is really not your style? Do you still wear it? Go around telling everyone about your well-fitting, but ugly as all get out SHOE...

less is more: on fighting fear and perfection.
The white of the page stares back at me like an accusation. "Why aren't you filling me? Where are all the WORDS??!!They are here, I tell it, I know they are in here. I hear them, I see them, I write them in cursive, loopy scroll all over the hills and valleys in my mind. They are here. Waiti...

Spring Cl... arity.
I have been in some kind of talk therapy for the past four years. It was a necessity given all that has happened in my life. In that time period, I reconnected with my estranged father and he passed away three months later. My son had a critical illness and a stroke. Friendship and family ch...

(nearly) NAKED MOTHERS UNITE!
A couple of weeks ago I took a selfie of myself in a new bikini I bought while on holidays. Not gonna lie, I looked good. I felt good, I loved my new suit and I wanted to take a picture and remember that feeling. So yeah, I took that picture and then I went one step further and I p...

Baseline
I am afraid to write. I am afraid that I can't do it anymore. That whatever well of ideas and words that was in me has dried up, and the effort to dig a new one is just too much for me right now. I am not sure what to do about this, so I thought I'd just get these thoughts out of my head, on the ...
