I'm trying to get better about writing consistently. I really am! Frankly, I'm not doing nearly as well with it as I could. I find myself exhausted pretty regularly (don't we all) and I'd often rather watch an inappropriate television program in silence while my daughter naps. It's the worst excuse in the world. So … Continue reading On using the clutch….
On airing it all out….
The other day, I made a pretty bonkers statement and a friend said I should write a book based on it. Well, I have no intention of writing a book any time soon, but blogs I can do. So that's what this is. Despite my best efforts to not write solely about parenting and children since having … Continue reading On airing it all out….
On fighting the fight….
It appears we are on the cusp of a pretty big deal election here in the States. My Facebook feed is littered with news clips and sound bites and shares of this politician or that reality star or someone saying something crappy about someone else or someone politician A being supported by this group or … Continue reading On fighting the fight….
On absolutely nothing…
So what do you do when you want to write, but have nothing to write about? You brain dump. There are a million things running through my head, but I can't seem to focus on a single one for long enough to flesh out an actual "piece" about it. I want to be pregnant again. … Continue reading On absolutely nothing…
On the joy of tailoring….
Isn't it interesting how we can talk such big games, but when it comes to implementing our own advice in our own lives, we suddenly become...all talk? Well, that's how I feel sometimes. The topic of joy came up recently in one of the mom's group I'm a part of on Facebook (even better, I'm … Continue reading On the joy of tailoring….
On making the right investments….
So I use this website - http://www.blogher.com - to help me figure out what I should write about (when I actually get around to writing). This month, the theme is BALANCE. Oh, how timely the theme. Balance is something I've almost always struggled with. Well, emotional/mental/spiritual balance that is. Physically, I've pretty much always been … Continue reading On making the right investments….
On owning it….
Tomorrow at 6:40am will mark the close of what has been (and likely will be, for some time) the hardest year of my life. Who knew that a 7-pound-5.6-ounce creature could do that to a grown up? It doesn't matter how much you read or learn or ask. It doesn't matter how much advice you … Continue reading On owning it….
On misplacing my sanity….
There's nothing quite like motherhood to make you realize your gross inadequacies. Over the last week or so, it seems like everything has come to a head, but the last two days have been complete madness. Nothing seems to be going right. I have something weird going on with my foot that I need to … Continue reading On misplacing my sanity….
On lack of space….
I'm a runner. I have no problem saying that. I've been seriously running since 2012 and I think the first time I actually called myself a "runner" was sometime during the summer of that year. Probably when I cleared six miles for the first time. In fact, I know that's when it was. It was when … Continue reading On lack of space….
On getting it together….
I've been writing for a while now. Several years, in fact. Part of that time, I was writing for my degree, but let's be honest: a ton of that writing came from a deeply personal place (not the technical writing, though. How personal can that be? It can't be. Trust me). I've written about a … Continue reading On getting it together….
