It happened. Yesterday around 11:20 p.m. I don’t feel any different. But man, it was big. BigBoy brought me coffee in bed, which was so sweet, but then he looked intently in my eyes and said, “Yep, you look old Mom.” Great. Hello, Forty. Yes, I turned forty. Yes, Four-Ohhhh. As in “Ohhh my goodness,…
Sometimes it’s nice to be reminded of who you are. This past weekend I had a moment of total self-realization between a stripper pole dancing class, the hot bods in the resort pool and a dance floor of a Palm Springs hotel. You could say that I found myself between a pole and a hard…
An ode to woman for which you shouldn’t be surprised Because we come from the same cloth, Shane Parmely, you and I. We are true sisters from a long away tribe that had feistiness and spriteliness and goddess inside. For you see my all of me, the warts and beauty within you bring out my…
This Thankful Thursday, being St. Patrick’s and all, I wanted to write about how lucky I am. Lucky and thankful. We moved to this neighborhood in 2006 from San Francisco. Thanks to our neighbors, Patty & Bruce, we immediately met a bunch of our neighbors, but at the time there weren’t many with kids at…
I am very thankful for the friends that came out for my Vision Board Party last Saturday. This was the first time that I ever lead a group in the process. I’ve done a vision board for the past three years as a guest of my friend and neighbor, Wendi. She had co-hosted a party…

Hello Muffin Top. Can’t say it’s nice to see you again, but I knew you were coming. Quite frankly, I like the food during the holidays, but mostly the sweet stuff. And I’m okay with my choices. I’m not going to berate myself over what I have done. Nope, not this time. I’ve got my…

Becoming a mom for me was a choice. I was very fortunate that when I wanted a baby it happened (and conversely when I didn’t want a baby, it didn’t happen!). Having children with Husband was a part of the deal that I signed on for when I said, “I do.” If it were not…
I have to tell you, I’m feeling pretty good today. With the exception of my best friend reminding that this is the last birthday of my 30s, I’m over the moon. (She’s like a sister and likes to poke at me…Lola!!!) Yes, it’s my birthday. I’m a summer solstice girl. And I am overwhelmed with…
