This post is definitely not sponsored, it is just a cause I really want to support. Kids not having food is just not okay with me. The world has enough food to go around, the food just needs a little help to get to where it is needed most. There is an organization near-ish to […]
DIY Dipped Powder Nails (Read at your own risk!)
I’m not proud of this, but there was this time I flat-out lied to my nail tech. You see, during a middle of the night fit of insomnia, I decided to try to give myself a manicure using dip powder. It didn’t end well. I thought I had seen my nails get done enough times […]
My Eyes are Different Colors
Since today is my birthday, I’m going to indulge in sharing random facts about me that you wouldn’t know and probably don’t really care to know. Sorry, not sorry. One of those facts about me as that I have heterochromia, or in other words, my eyes are different colors. It isn’t a super obvious difference […]
A Ruff Week for Cookie
Cookie “became a lady” on the first day of school so the week has been extra tough for her: missing her kids and feeling icky. She was just pure sadness, it was so hard to watch. I wrote about this on my personal Facebook page, and after I wrote it, I realized I could have […]

I’m not one that will usually voluntarily be in a big crowd, so it was already awkward for me. It was then made even more awkward because of the […]
Dr. Mommy-Pimple-Popper
My kids have a bit of a nickname for me they use when the time is right. I have something kind of weird and awkward to admit, but let me give you some context first. Puberty is so awkward for girls! I wrote a lot about all that awkwardness in my Open Letter to My […]
Let Them Be Little – Embrace the Treasures and Create Collections
When Brian was a toddler, he came home from every outing with a pocketful of “treasures.” They were so important to him. He’d name them, play with them, and remember each and every one. I knew I needed a plan to deal with them before they took over all the clean surfaces of his room. […]
Open Letter: To My Daughters in Middle School
A few years ago I explained some things to my girls as they entered middle school and were starting puberty. I told them the things I wish someone had told me when I was their age. I must warn you, that I don’t beat around the bush. I don’t want to speak in flowery language, […]
