I have been to the dentist five times since late March. Stupidly, I hadn’t been for two years even though I had been having pain in one of my molars. By the time I finally went it was discovered that my tooth was cracked and I needed a crown. So I went back time and again [...]

Last week, when I posted my first vlog, I received this anonymous comment: When I first saw it, I was shocked. I quickly logged into my account and sent it to the trash. I’d like to say that I brushed it off and it didn’t affect me. But I promptly left work, drove to chick-fil-a [...]

My purse is hung over my shoulder. The sound of pills click clack, click clack as I walk to wherever I’m going. It’s a common sound. I carry certain pills with me always. Excedrin Migraine for the awful migraines I get as a side-effect of my anti-whatevers. Tylenol for the usual aches and pains I feel deep down [...]

Last week I had a nagging feeling that wouldn’t go away. It had been a year since Landon’s last dentist appointment. I had been putting it off because his first visit to the dentist was, let’s just say, unsuccessful. We didn’t go back and I waited too long to find a new dentist for him. [...]

It was only a moment. One tiny moment where I lost the ability to control my temper. But in that one moment I did something that I feel is unforgivable as a parent . . . I scared my son. I have been a mother for nearly three years. It has had its ups and [...]

You know how pregnant women get upset at the onset of stretchmarks? I was one of those lucky ladies who did not have to go through that with either of my pregnancies. No, my belly stayed perfectly smooth with both boys, no cocoa butter necessary. And you bet your butt I was pretty smug about [...]

Let’s talk boobs, shall we? Specifically my right boob. You know, the one that grew two MRSA-filled abscesses right after I gave birth to Brigham. I was reminded of this only because yesterday I had to make a visit to my lady parts doctor. I think that’s their official title, no? And each time I [...]

I’m gonna make this quick. I can’t write or talk about it without crying and getting stomach cramps. We were supposed to be closing and moving TODAY. We thought our dream was finally coming true. But 48 hours ago the buyer’s lender decided that they would no longer give him the loan to buy our [...]

Yes. There is a question mark behind those words. I wish there weren’t. But until next Thursday the question mark will remain. We are supposed to close on our current house and our new house next Thursday. But we’ve hit some roadbumps on the way to our part of paradise. I can tell you that we’re just heartsick [...]

I’ve noticed a trend in the blogosphere. It seems Mondays are reserved for blogging about weight loss. I can support my awesome friends who are on their own journeys to healthy lives but I can’t join in because, well, I don’t need to lose weight. I don’t say that to brag. But I do think [...]

I'm a working mama to two of the most beautiful and sweet little boys. Landon is 3 1/2 and Brigham is 21 months. Yes, I survived a stint of two under two with a baby who didn't sleep for a year. And if I ever actually realized my dream of walking down the red carpet I'm sure there would be dirt on my dress. I'm just trying not to trip over Tonka trucks. This is where I write, laugh, dream, share, cry, and hope with honesty.
