Lately there’s nothing I enjoy more than a lazy Saturday or Sunday morning where I can relax, drink coffee and make a yummy breakfast or brunch for those I love. I get bored eating scrambled eggs all the time so it’s fun to get creative with frittatas and omelets. I’ve also been using my iron […]
Lean into the scarcity
There are a number of depressing topics I could write about this morning. I could write about missing my mom on Mother’s Day. I could write about my dad getting older and the worry of losing him too. I could write about divorce and how it’s hard for all parties involved to find a new […]
Being vulnerable through triathlon
I’ve learned I must dare greatly. My life, especially over the past three years, has not been one lovely moment after another. There’s been grief, fear, darkness, uncertainty and pain. But through it all, I’ve tried to stay positive. Even in the worst moments, I’ve worked to identify what makes me grateful and happy. Nevertheless, […]
Kickin’ it Mom 2.0 style
During a trip to L.A. last week, I hung out with some famous people and got questioned by hotel security. I also spent three days with 800 fierce, driven moms. By the time I left, I wanted to run down the street screaming, “I am woman. Hear me roar.” It was my third year traveling […]
A new path
Two years ago, I was a mess. My mom was very sick and I remember the first time I realized she was probably going to die. The loss of hope is a very dark emotion. I got a tattoo that May. I drank probably more than I should’ve. I listened to a lot of sad […]

I’ve learned this to be true time and time again. I love taking pictures so at the end of each month, my phone is full of […]
Guilt, grief and gratitude
It’s been a full month bursting with emotion. I think I’ve laughed and cried more in March than I have in a long time. My dad’s been working a lot so I haven’t gotten to see or talk to him hardly at all and when I’m unable to see him, I miss my mom even […]
Quick & Easy Homemade Granola
Granola is one of my favorite items to make from scratch. I’ve never been able to find a granola in the stores I enjoy. Commercial brands are either overly sweet or have too many carbohydrates. Years ago, a friend shared her homemade granola recipe with me, and I’ve tweaked it along the way to create […]
10 Things to Smile About: February 2018
Whew, I’m still a bit shaken up that the calendar says March. February flew by in a flash. I know it’s already March 3, but I’ve still got February on my mind. It was a good month, and I want to celebrate ten things that made me smile. 1). A trip to Tennessee with […]
Don’t let laundry steal your fun
The reviewer has been compensated in the form of a Best Buy Gift Card and/or received the product/service at a reduced price or for free. I have a love-hate relationship with laundry. I don’t mind washing/drying clothes. I don’t even mind folding them because it’s sort of meditative and gives me some alone time with my […]
