Because Someone is Trying to Shoot You My Darling

Did that title grab your attention? I sure as shit hope so. Right now there is a maniac on the loose in Colorado with the sole intention of shooting up a school thanks to her obsession with Columbine. Pretty much all schools, daycares and kids programs are closed, and we all are sitting in shock […]

Stay at Home Moms, I See You

The past three weeks our house has been a full blown cesspool. I know I say that every year around this time, and if you know me personally, you know my kid literally catches every single thing in the worst way possible and then usually gives it to me. For example- two years ago we […]

Know That I’m With You the Only Way That I Can Be.

We were packing up our bags to go up to the mountains this morning, and Thea decided to “help” by grabbing a few things and putting them in her backpack. What were they? A pair of socks, a magic wand, a book on mermaids, a set of coasters and a framed picture of me and […]

Thanks, but I Didn’t Ask

Can someone please explain to me why the split second your first child leaves your womb, there’s a line of people out the door ready to bombard you with unsolicited advice? You have barely even decided what your own parenting style is going to be (let’s be real, there’s the style we thought we would […]

The Numbers Don’t Matter

My journey into fitness started later in life and post loads of infertility treatments and hormones. Honestly I had forgotten what my body even looked like previously, which some would say is a good thing, but I’ve found isn’t always great. Because of this, setting goals for myself has been difficult. I was bloated and […]

Together We Rise

You come from a family of strong women. We have always pushed boundaries and are never able to filter ourselves no matter how hard we try. We’ve gone through trials, we’ve suppressed feelings, we’ve fought to be where we belong. For years I’ve seen us all struggle, trying to hold back our fierce energy and […]

My Six Favorite Wardrobe Staples

Ah yes, look at us all hitting the stage of life where we don’t realize how old something in our closet is until we actually do the math. I realized some of my underpants are 15 years old the other day, and I’m still wearing a shirt I got at the goodwill in college to […]

What Does Balance Even Look Like?

My 2019 goal was to find balance in this crazy life of mine, and make sure it was the top focus. I’ve always been a bit of a roll with the punches, free spirit kind of gal, so recognizing I needed to take active steps towards not feeling like my life was snowballing out of […]

The Invisible Load of Motherhood

I forgot my daughter’s ballet slippers for class this weekend and she was absolutely devastated. I, in turn, felt terrible. As all the little tutu clad girls ran to their moms to put their dance shoes on, all I was able to give mine was an apology that she just didn’t understand. Tears started streaming […]

Life with Tattoos

I was going through my closet trying to find something to wear for my video call with the entire executive team today, and hesitated for a second when I went to grab a short sleeved shirt. You see, I’m in an upper management position and work with a lot of conservative men. I also have […]
