‘Tis the season for Back to School (for those of us with school-aged children). Cheers parents! But I’m here to issue you a warning. Consider this my pep talk for the school year, mamas. So pull up a chair, I’ll open this bottle of wine. Let’s talk. This year there will be ample opportunities for…
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…
Sorry that I’ve been MIA from my blog. I have many posts bubbling inside of my head, particularly one about how I move out of Overwhelm, which is located near Crazyville. Moms, you may be familiar with that location and state of mind. Well, that’s where I’ve been for the past two weeks. I’m starting…

I’m interrupting this regularly scheduled book review for a scene out of a typical family household. I’m writing to admit my guilt, but also to hold tight on principles and I’m wondering where you stand. Tonight, like many nights at a dinner table with a two (almost three year old), BabyD just wasn’t into eating…

I wanted to share this great piece of Mommy wisdom that I just recently learned from another mother. And it turns out it’s out in the interwebby world, I just hadn’t come across it yet. So I’m here to share the goodness. It’s just such a damn fine solution that I wanted to pass it…
