I was triggered the other day when I was scrolling through Facebook and fell upon a picture of my ex-husband with a supposed sober smile. I was selfishly angry when I read some comments about how wonderful he is and how he deserves all the help in the world. I just…

Oh hello, insomnia. So, we meet again. 90’s music and movies FTW. (apparently FTW means ‘for the win.’) I just learned about that this week, you’re welcome.  I did sleep for a minute- maybe even 4 hours? But, I’d be a liar if I said that I’ve been sleeping well, lately…

Hi. It’s me again. Coming atcha on a Friday afternoon from my living room couch with a warm lemon ginger tea in hand. Super exciting, I know. But… I’m content and I’m feeling proud of myself for being where I’m at in life because it wasn’t always this easy. And…

I’ve been a little quiet on here lately because life has been jam-packed with insanity, both good and bad. I had to take a pause and embrace some quietness before my head spun like Medusa. I still have ZERO idea on this whole back-to-school disaster and I’m in a slight…

I’m a believer in mastery and I’m a believer in nurturing natural talents and interests. I believe that kiddos grow into well-rounded humans when they’re challenged and humbled. I believe in losses and I’m on the fence with participation trophies (as great as they are, they open another can of…

Okay Internet, I’m about to talk to myself here and fire off some thoughts in my brain because I’m a single mama- I don’t have a person to roll over to at the end of the night to debate things with. I’ve got me and my brain and trust me-…

So, I had someone ask me how to best support a single parent and I thought I’d jump on here and write it out as I’m sure every single one of us know a single parent. And we all know that these single parents have tough struggles and it’s hard…

Y’all. I live for holidays. Doesn’t matter what we’re celebrating- I’m totally there for it. Halloween will forever be my favourite and even though it’s July, I’d be a big liar if I said we didn’t have a cryptic hand in our front garden. I’m THAT committed.  So, I didn’t…

I started reading a new book because that’s just what I do. I like to read- and I like to read books that really make you think deeply and if the author can tie their thoughts to scientific facts, even better! I’m so there for it. “Introspection” was always a…
