Nothing is impossible. In fact, I recently found myself quoting dozens of Pinterest-based boards that read, “The word itself says I’m Possible,” when my 4-year-old informed me that putting on a shirt from the head down is not something within her talent range, and that sticking her feet in the neck and pulling her shirts […] More
While Lifetime is typically home to reality shows and light but fun programming, such as Drop Dead Diva or Devious Maids (which just returned for its third season), the cable network delivered one of the smartest and, so far, best new shows of the summer last night with UnREAL, a somewhat soapy but incredibly energetic series focusing on the […] More
There is a very small percentage of people out there who are doing exactly what they had envisioned career-wise.  In fact, so much so they they had a plan, went to college to study that passion, pursued it, and are gainfully employed doing exactly what they had set out to do. They knew because of […] More
What is the first thing you notice about someone when you meet them for the first time? Is it their hair? Their clothes? Their skin? While your first thought is very likely related to appearance, a person’s skin is one of the first things you notice when you initially meet them, and probably every time […] More
In the midst of a recent conversation, I listened as a mother with children the same age as my oldest brag that her son knows very little about technology because she does not allow it. I nodded in faux understanding, fighting back a smile and probably a snort. My 7-year-old doesn’t spend much time using […] More

After receiving an email recently that it’s finally time for the Half Yearly Sale at Nordstrom, I decided to get online and do some serious shopping. After all, the twins are growing like weeds and their little feet are quickly outgrowing their Sperry deck shoes and it’s time for bigger sizes, and mommy always needs […] More
It’s summer vacation in my house, and what that means for my two oldest children is that they’re bored and I’m forced to listen to it. We’re not always mobile since we do have two 1-year-old twins that nap for about four hours from late morning to mid-afternoon (also, I’m alone with four kids while […] More
Rubbing gasoline all over your face probably doesn’t sound like something you might consider part of your daily beauty regimen, so it often makes little sense that women don’t check labels to see what exactly they are putting on their faces. Our trust is going to be our biggest beauty downfall – and I’m right […] More
There is nothing as infuriating as a smiling 3-year-old holding up a new pair of underpants and the baby wipes and saying, “I’m poopy. Will you change me please?” After all, a child who can literally tell you that she went potty in her pants, carry on a full conversation and dress herself on a […] More
We’re all parents and we have to face the truth. As much as we are in love with our children, there’s no time of day that’s better than when your little one finally shuts their eyes and gives you the rest of the night off. Does that make us bad parents? Certainly not. Let me […] More
If ever you’ve needed a prescription from your doctor, you’ve seen a poor example of what was, at one time, cursive handwriting. Some people refer to it as a chicken scratch and some people refer to it as a great way to get the wrong prescription considering the fact that it’s completely illegible. But that’s […] More
