Are you Really Brothers?

It’s funny how siblings come out of the same womb, are raised in the same home yet can be as different as night and day. Josh is incredibly affectionate. Matty wipes his mouth as soon as you kiss him and rolls his demented eyes when you hug him. Matty loves...

You are Enough

I’ve always been a very sensitive and aware person… It’s played a positive and a negative role in my life. Makes the highs outfreakingstandingly rad and the lows emotionally painful. Having kids made me harder and fiercer in a lot of ways. My tolerance for BS diminished and my need...

My Favorite Romance/Thriller Books of 2015

“Holy crap woman, all I see is an explosion of flesh! You need Jesus.” – My dude looking at my Kindle account. Hahahaha. Look, I can love the bomchickaboomboom AND love the Jesus. I like to read a mixture of everything from Bret Easton Ellis, Neil Gaiman and Steinbeck but...

Mommy Confessions

Mommy confession: I find myself saying things like “You’re moving too slow!” “Go, go, go!” And “You’re a big boy now, start acting like it!” to the boys a lot lately. So something Mike said to me tonight really bothered me but I couldn’t get mad because I had no...

How the Mighty Would Fall

How the Mighty Would Fall

Helicopter parenting, the hands off parent, the embarrassing parent, the strict parent… Who the hell cares, raise your child and love your child the way you see fit. No one sees what you go through 24/7. People who think they know everything about everything can make whatever judgments they want....
