I Am Doing My Absolute Best

We’re constantly told what we’re doing wrong in raising our children, and I for one am really sick of it. I’m doing my absolute best.

I Love Spending Time Without My Kids

For my 41st birthday, I ran away from home. I checked into a hotel, drank mimosas next to the pool, took a 30-minute shower, ate breakfast in my bed, and never once turned on the TV. It was blissful.

Becoming a ‘Real’ Mom

I have always loved The Velveteen Rabbit, to the point where I decorated my baby’s nursery with illustrations from a paperback version I bought expressly for tearing it apart.

I’m Becoming a Model

Gratitude is not a lesson to be learned like English or Math. It’s not something I can MAKE my kids understand. It is not something I can shame my kids into either. I have to model it. I have to model HOW to be grateful to them.
