I am a perpetual apologizer. I apologize for everything. I’m sorry I’m leaving work early. I’m sorry that you bumped into me. I’m sorry for asking so many questions. I’m sorry I’m tired. I’m sorry I’m having a bad hair day. I’m sorry you’re in a bad mood. I’m sorry I’m not feeling well. I’m…
You guys. Here I go, I’m going to be terminated from every Facebook Mom Group after this post. Maybe some of my Facebook friends will drop me after this too. If you’re a mom, chances are you belong to some sort of Support Group on Facebook (Moms of Newborns, Toddler Moms, Breastfeeding Moms, etc). Do…
As I sat in the living room, listening to my girls fight over a Mother’s Day gift they were working on in the next room over, I couldn’t help but feel like it was all for nothing. Here I was, not spending time with my children just so they could make sure I had a…

How many of you headed into parenting with blinders on? I did. Moms/Dads how many of you played ‘house’ when you were little? I’m not sure about you, but my babies were sooo easy to take care of when I was young. And those ‘egg babies’ we had in middle school? Pfffft, what kind of…
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…
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…
