Since Sunday, like many of you, I have spent a good amount of time thinking about Orlando. Thinking of terror. Thinking of hate and prejudice. Thinking of what this world has become. Thinking of my daughters. I have watched, and witnessed, the online community attack one another for a number of things: their beliefs, their political…
Facebook’s “On This Day” feature is a great way to let you relive every status update, photo, and post on your page since its inception. It does not spare you from your stupidity, craziness, or ugly past…you just never know what your “On This Day” is going to look like. Today, however, my past was…
“What do you like to do for fun? Tell me about some of your hobbies…” I recently got a new primary care physician and this was her opening line. Well, that got awkward fast. I had no clue what to say to her. I mean, I’m really great at being a mom? I can mom…

I took a vacation the other night and it was beyond amazing. It was better than Disneyworld…there were no swarms of children. It was like being on a tropical island; I was so relaxed and there were So.Many.Colors. I was going to keep my new favorite getaway a secret, so I can continue to enjoy…
Recently, I was witness to a scene that made me cringe. A couple of young males, whom had just heard a story about a boy picking on a girl, each responded very similarly: That means he likes her! My (insert relation) told me that when a boy is mean to a girl it means he…
NEWSFLASH: Humans do not come out of the womb with the ability to use a toilet. Said humans must be changed each and every time they pee or poo. Oh, this isn’t news to you? I just wanted to make certain we are all on the same page because it seems as though many businesses…
This is a post that I’ve been wanting to write for a long time, it was actually one of the main reasons I wanted to start a blog. However, I always felt like I was too close and it was too personal; I feared I would be writing a mainly hate-fueled post, rather than sharing…
