“The other night, it was nearing dinner time (often what they call witching hour)…. Your dad had taken you out for “boys day” so, I could host a ladies-only baby shower at home. He had done a kickass job of parenting you by himself all day & needed a well-deserved break. You were starting to whine & I could see the emotion building up in you. Tried as I might, to figure out just what was bothering you or set you off, I couldn’t put my finger on it. So, I asked you to come outside with me? You protested at first, but eventually, willingly followed suit.
My son, your imaginary world is a magical place. A place I always want an invite to…” Continue reading

Change is Scary but so is being complacent
“I recently came across a quote that read, “It’s not about how to achieve your dreams, it’s about how to lead your life. If you lead your life the right way, the dreams will come to you.” ….

Stop %&$#?@! talking to my kid like that!
“It happens a lot now that I’ve taken notice. The moms who step in to referee every 2 seconds at the playground, the family member who never has anything all that nice to say or the friends, who goodness do we love them but just because they have 5 more kids than we do, don’t need to include our son in their commandment round up…” Continue reading
Thank You from the bottom of my soul.
“It’s crazy, life’s journey. I’m really feeling the positive effects of spring right now. This season around, is bringing big life changes as well and I couldn’t be happier to be taking a leap of faith and really pursue my passions. I started this little blog for fun, I said. An outlet, a creative funnel, a journal, a way to connect with others…” Continue reading
